Braveheart (1995) --> One of the great epic movies that won five Oscars (Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Effects/Sound Effects Editing, Best Makeup, and Best Picture), Braveheart tells the story of William Wallace. Wallace is Scotland's greatest hero, igniting a war with England that gained their independence. This was Gibson's second movie which he both directed and starred (the first being Man Without a Face (1993)). The only drawback to this movie was Gibson's inability to match his fellow actors in a believable Scottish accent but it is a minor annoyance.

The Wizard of Oz (1939) --> Is there anyone on the planet that has not seen this movie? It is in the memory of every child that has ever lived and is enjoyed by adults over 60 years after its release. The story tells of a girl whisked away from her Kansas farm transported to the Land of Oz where witches and munchkins exist. Traveling to the Emerald city in order to see the Wizard who she hopes will send her back home she meets a Scarecrow without a brain, a Lion without courage, and a Tinman without a heart. Fighting against an evil witch who wants her ruby slippers, Dorothy (the girl in question) learns the bonds of friendship and the hardships of wanting things which are not easily given. The soundtrack is one of the greats in history and the film is a must have for young and old alike.

Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? (1966) --> Based on Edward Albee's play of the same name, this movie is the best I have ever seen where a husband and wife go at each other without a blow being thrown. If you are ever thinking about getting married, do not watch this movie. If you take a man and a woman who will never leave each other no matter what, and both disappointing each other again and again over the years, and both deciding to verbally abuse each other on a psychological level never to be seen this side of a mental institution, and you are interested in seeing it full blown on your television, then this is the movie to watch. This movie is quite frightening to say the least. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were perfect for the roles of George and Martha. Mike Nichols begins his illustrious directing career with this film, continuing with The Graduate (1967) and Catch 22 (1970) soon afterwards.

Big Momma's House (2000) --> Martin Lawrence plays Malcolm Turner, an undercover FBI agent protecting a federal witness who he eventually falls in love with. The only problem is he has taken the identity of Big Momma, the family matriarch. This is a foolish movie and has little to offer anyone except unbelievable and nonsensical humour that is only mildly entertaining. If you are a huge Martin Lawrence you make enjoy this movie but for the rest of us it was very disappointing.
