Directed by Christopher Nolan, Memento is one of the benchmarks in cinema. I guarantee you will watch it a second time because you will not be able to figure out everything in the first viewing. One of my personal favourites. If you haven’t watched it yet, I strongly advise that you do! 6. Moneyball One of the best sport movies made till date, Moneyball is based on a true story about an American Baseball team which was in the ruins but a new mode of team selection changes everything.

Starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 50/50 is about a guy who’s never done anything wrong in his life getting cancer. His chances of survival? 50/50. The movie is an emotional rollercoaster about his journey and is definitely a must watch. Do not miss out on this one. And yes, it is based on a true story. 8. The Prestige This movie has winner written all over it. The subject of the movie is enticing as it is. Illusion and Science. Add to that the stellar acting and brilliant storyline with the classic twist in the end, this movie cannot be missed. Watch it and be informed of the true definition of acting, direction and story. 9. The Dark Knight I bet most you have watched it. But if you haven’t, boy have you missed out on something! Heath Ledger at his absolute best, Christian Bale in fine form and Gary Oldman with a brilliant depiction of Commissioner Gordon. And what a story! This is in the list of elite movies of all time! MUST WATCH! 10. Inception The Mind is the scene of the crime. Inception, in my opinion, is the BEST movie of all time. The minutest of details have been taken care of. The visuals are haunting and the background score goes perfectly. An amazing ensemble starcast consisting of Leonardo Di Caprio, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon Levitt. I’ve only got one word for this movie. Beautiful. So how many of these movies have you seen? What other movies should be added in this list?
