The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
First up, we’ve got “The Shawshank Redemption,” a movie about friendship, hope, and a whole lot of digging!

The Godfather (1972)
Next, we’re stepping into the world of mobsters and mayhem with “The Godfather.” This is the movie that taught us all the importance of family—and that you should never, EVER refuse an offer you can’t refuse. Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone? Iconic. This movie is so legendary it practically invented the gangster genre.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Holy smokes, Batman! “The Dark Knight” swoops in at number three with its jaw-dropping action and Heath Ledger’s unforgettable performance as the Joker. Seriously, this movie is so good, it’s almost criminal. Gotham’s in chaos, and Batman’s here to save the day, but let’s be honest, we’re all watching for the Joker’s crazy antics.
The Godfather Part II (1974)
What’s better than one Godfather movie? Two Godfather movies! “The Godfather Part II” is the rare sequel that’s just as epic as the original.

12 Angry Men (1957)
Ever wonder what it’s like to be stuck in a room with 12 very opinionated dudes? “12 Angry Men” gives you just that. This courtroom drama is all about one juror trying to convince the others that maybe—just maybe—the accused isn’t guilty. It’s tense, it’s thought-provoking, and it’s got more drama than a reality TV show reunion.
Schindler’s List (1993)

Pulp Fiction (1994)
“Pulp Fiction” is like the coolest movie you’ll ever see. Directed by Quentin Tarantino, this flick is a wild ride through interconnected stories featuring hitmen, boxers, and a mysterious glowing briefcase.
