Recommended movies
Movies that we recommend. Either because of their content that touches the emotions and / or a speech by one of the actors. Some of them belong to the best movies of all times.
Contains a great speech
Invictus
Nelson Mandela gives a great speech in front of the rugby association. Convincing. Based on a true story.
The Pursuit of Happyness
Great little speech in the scene when the father talks to his son on the basket ball court. The message: Don't let anybody else tell you what you can or cannot do.
Based on a true story
Gandhi
Based on a true story. A lesson in nonviolent resistance. Awesome. A must see.
Hotel Ruanda
Der Film erzählt von den tödlichen Ereignissen in Ruanda. Ein Hotelmanager gibt nicht auf und macht für eine kleine Gruppe von Leuten einen Unterschied.
Erin Brokovich
Based on a true story. How an American law assistant stands up against a large corporation. Inspires to not accept everything as it is.
Schindler’s list
Based on a true story. Great historical movie.
Food for thought
Gran Torino
Clint Eastwood changes from foe to friend. Great to see how the Korean neighbors take care of him and step by step he returns the favor.
Million Dollar Baby
What at first glance looks like a simple boxing movie turns into great food for thought about medically assisted suicide. At the end I found myself with a few tears in my eyes.
Last Samurai
Full of values how we only experience them rarely (anymore). Those with an interest in Japan will recognize many interesting details. Action with a great message.
Forrest Gump
His mother said: „Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you will get.” From underdog to millionaire.
Slumdog Millionaire
The scene in the toilet is a classic. It doesn’t keep the prince from conquering the dragon to get the princess. One of the most creative love stories.
American Beauty
A satirical view of American society. And about a guy with a midlife crisis.
Enemy of the state
Reminded me of George Orwell’s „1984“. Total control. Who will control the controllers? A wake up call in respect to data privacy and use of electronics including cell phones.
The Godfather
If the reality is the way they show it in the movie, society is in for some major trouble. A great movie about the mafia.
Pretty Woman
In the end all that counts is love.
The Shawshank redemption
It is perseverance that pays off. Ironically this is especially true for an innocently sentenced prisoner.This movie has been voted as one of the best movies of all times.
Whistleblower
An individual can make a difference.
Avatar
A strong call for saving the planet. Even without the 3D effects a pleasure to watch.
