Movies today are action packed and are filled with the newest technology. But what about older movies and the classics? They were simpler, but that did not take away from how amazing they are. Finding the right ones to watch though, can be a difficult task. Here is a list of my top three favorite classic movies that I think you should definitely watch.
The Truman Show
The Truman Show is an emotional story about a man’s life, growing up in captivity. Ever since birth, his life had been televised and broadcasted for the whole world to see. Everyone knew his life was a sham, except him. As the movie continues, Truman finds himself questioning his reality and looking for an explanation. But will he ever get out of the fake tv show and into the real world; find out by watching the movie.
The Truman Show can make you laugh and cry. It makes you feel emotion. I definitely recommend this movie because it has such an amazing meaning behind it.
Seven Pounds
Seven Pounds is a story about a Man, who is on a mission. After the sudden and tragic death of his wife, he became depressed and did not want to live anymore. He planned to do everything in his power to save seven people who were pure at heart. But, these random acts of kindness did not just come from the good of his heart. It is apparent that the man had something in his past, that was haunting his future. Find out what it is, by watching this movie.
Sleepless in Seattle
Sleepless in Seattle is a love story between a man on the radio and a woman listening. After the death of his wife, the man moves to Seattle for hope of a fresh start, but is still very sad. His son tries to solve the problem by calling the local radio station advice show. A woman hears this story, and writes him a letter to meet her on the top of the Empire State Building on Valentines Day. Find out what happens between the two lovers by watching this amazing movie.
These are three of the many timeless movies that you will never get tired of watching. Old movies are classics that you should definitely add to your “watch next” list.
