The film adaptation of the massively successful novel of the same name by J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter gives insight into the life of a young boy who discovers that he is a wizard living among normal people after his parents’ untimely death. Be prepared to follow Mr. Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) through eight films as they battle the darkest and meanest witches and wizards on their quest to destroy the ultimate Evil.
4. Rent

Broadway sensation Rent was penned by the late Jonathan Larson. Following the story of 8 unique individuals living in New York City in the 1990’s who seem to be constantly plagued by the virus that is paying Rent. I urge you to become attached to each of these fantastically written characters who may remind you of someone you know personally as they struggle to overcome personal mountains, AIDs, and discrimination.
3. The Departed

A crime drama film with an all Star cast that includes; Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, and Jack Nicholson. The Departed tells the story of Irish crime lord Frank Costello (Nicholson) who discovers a mole in his organization. It is hard to pitch The Departed without giving away important plot twists and character development; this is just something that you are going to have to trust me on.
2. Forrest Gump

Tom Hanks stars in this 1994 classic from Robert Zemeckis about a man with below average intelligence who lives his life without a care in the world. Forrest is a simple soul from the fictitious town of Greenbow, Alabama where he loves the two most important women in his life; his ‘momma’ and Jenny. As they get older Jenny starts to move away from Forrest; but Forrest never forgets Jenny. Making his way through adulthood, Forrest becomes a star college football player, goes to war in Vietnam, invests and makes millions through Apple, and even becomes a champion Ping Pong player; all the while still loving Jenny. I highly suggest this film and if it was not for the sheer power in the name of Number 1; this would be it.
Now, with no further delay; here is my number one. Drum roll please…
