Does this sound familiar: Daa da! Daaaa da da daa da dum! The popular Jaws soundtrack is something we still remember today. Thanks to this movie, almost all of us use that sound to describe the creeping nature of a shark approaching. Directed by the brilliant Steven Spielberg, Jaws was released in 1975. A simple plot tells a powerful story: three people, namely a fisherman, marine scientist and a police chief, set out to stop a gigantic great white shark that created havoc in the little island town of Amity.

 

 

 

This chilling film will give you goosebumps, possibly make you cry a tremendous amount and leave you perplexed for hours, but most importantly it will remind you that even in a world filled with cruelty and hurt, there still are people who care for humanity. Schindler's List is a true story about the compassionate act of one man named Oskar Schindler who was actually very greedy and not very likable. Oskar was a businessman who has saved more than a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories; in this way, the factories became a refuge for Jews. A definite must-see!

 

 

 

 

The Sound of Music received nine different awards and was listed as the 55th greatest American movie of all time as well as the 4th greatest movie musical. Maria, played by Julie Andrews, is a young Austrian woman who is failing miserably at her attempts to become a nun; she is then given a new job to look after a Navy Captain's children, seven to be exact. The children are unhappy and rebel from every single caretaker they are given, but Maria manages to wiggle her way into their little hearts and the heart of their father. The new found love between Maria and the Captain is put to the test as the Captain is engaged to a Baroness. How might the story end? You'll have to watch it to find out.

 

 

Simply put, Forrest Gump is phenomenal! The famous quote, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get", originates from this film. These are the words Gump's mom (mama) used to tell him, along with her other strong words of wisdom. Gump is a simple man with only good intentions, the type of man who wouldn't want to harm a fly. Even though Gump has a very low IQ, that doesn't stop him from achieving many great things in his life, such as joining the army, creating a famous shrimp fishing fleet, and becomes a ping-pong champion  (he wins medals and meets the president a couple of times). All of this and more isn't of any importance to Gump, as the most important thing to him is his childhood sweetheart, Jenny, who has taken the wrong path in life. This is an amazing film that will leave you adoring Gump and his loving nature. You will find yourself chanting "Run Forest, run!" right at the edge of your seat.

 

 

This science fiction film tells the story of a little boy named Elliott that befriends an extraterrestrial named E.T. who has been stranded on Earth. Elliott introduces his brother and little sister to E.T.; all of them try to keep their new friend's existence under wraps and try to help him get home. E.T. was an instant blockbuster and was the highest grossing film for eleven years until Jurassic Park took the title in 1993. The success of this story lies in the message of true friendship and how that friendship can surpass all difficulties. 

 

 

 

My Fair Lady is another timeless musical that is loved by many. Professor Henry Higgins, played by Rex Harrison, makes it his mission to transform a working girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a cultured member of high society. Eliza Doolittle is played by the gracious Audrey Hepburn. The famous quote: "the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane" is one of the phrases Higgins uses to improve Eliza's diction during their speech lessons.  Eliza and Higgins clash throughout the film, but somehow form a very special bond. This is a beautiful story that will make you want to sing along and dance, a definite must-see!
