Description

TOP 50 movies you should WATCH, in my ipinion, no special order.

Note: Please note that there are movies that I have not watched (so there's a high possibility that your favorite movie is not here), I made this list because there are some unknown films that people don't normally watch and actually should, there are also some movies (like A Clockwork Orange and The Pianist that are more well known, but people still don't watch, and they should, because both are amazing movies!).
Also, some of these movies are in that list because of the impact they caused at some points of my life so far. Hope you all enjoy.
