Movies You Must See Before You Die
Hollywood has been sending great movies in our direction for as long as one can remember. Some of these films are so great that it almost seems like a sin to die without watching them first. The list of such films is a lengthy one. However, if one is asked to pick just five films from the list that rank the highest on the list, then that definitely brings up the name of The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Inception, Titanic and The Lord of the Rings. If you have no watched them yet, go to your nearest movie shop and buy/rent them immediately.
