The Invisible Guest

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 8.8/10 FilmFascination Rating I have been watching movies and just couldn’t find one that could be added to the Great Movies list. It has been about 3 weeks since I’ve posted. Well, time to rewatch a movie. I saw The Invisible Guest (Contratiempo) many years ago. Probably even before […]

Rope

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 8.8/10 FilmFascination Rating Hitchcock never quite fails to surprise me with his art. In fact, almost every Hitchcock film I’ve seen has found its way into the Great Movies List. The only exception so far is Rebecca. It stands strong as a really good film, but its emotional complexities

The Bad Sleep Well

9.4/10 FilmFascination Rating The Bad Sleep Well might just be one of Kurosawa’s finest films — and yes, I know I say that about almost every Kurosawa film. But honestly, can you blame me? Every Kurosawa film has something so distinctly powerful, so utterly unforgettable that it’s impossible not to sing its praises. Whether it’s

25th Hour

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 8.6/10 FilmFascination Rating 25th Hour wasn’t a movie I expected I’d end up writing about. It had lingered in my watchlist for far too long—one of those titles you keep saying you’ll get to eventually. The plot intrigued me when I first read the synopsis: a New York drug

City of God

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 9.7/10 FilmFascination Rating It’s been a while since I wrote a review—I know, I’ve been missing. And yes, in case you’re wondering, I’m still watching movies. I always have, always will. But the truth is, I hadn’t come across a film that deserved a spot on the Great Movies

The Godfather

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 9.5/10 FilmFascination Rating I have often wondered what makes ‘The Godfather’ so great. It has been more than 50 years since it was released and still even a non-moviegoer would know ‘The Godfather’ as one of the greatest movies although he might not even have seen it. Is it

High and Low

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 9.7/10 FilmFascination Rating I am now familiar with Kurosawa’s work and am aware what he is capable of. He has this magic of giving depth to the movie by bringing out the true emotions from his actors. Ikiru, made by him, is a movie I consider as one of

The Sting

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 9.4/10 FilmFascination Rating The plot, the style, and the acting – ‘The Sting’ gets it all right. I think this is going to be one of my favourites! The film is about Johnny Hooker, who plans to seek revenge for the death of his partner as a result of

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 8.6/10 FilmFascination Rating The shame is that all those beautiful symmetric frames were the ones I had already seen. The surprise by which the audience needs to watch them, I have been robbed of it by my mobile screen. I really curse it. The movie begins with a woman

Inglourious Basterds

Where to Watch: Powered by JustWatch 9/10 FilmFascination Rating Inglourious Basterds is my favourite Tarantino movie (among the ones I have seen) and I consider it to be one of his best works. It is just so damn enjoyable! We begin with a chilling scene where we are introduced to Hans Landa. May I say,
