Detachment
Carl Lund took a leap into the shoes of a substitute teacher, when he wrote the movie Detachment. While, this may not be a part of my best movies list, it is certainly a good movie. A substitute teacher, drifting from one school to another, never really builds any sentiments with other faculty and staff nor students.
This is the case until he enters a particular school. Thanks to three women, a whole new world of emotion is opened up within Henry (the substitute). These three women consist of a student (Meredith), a fellow teacher (Ms. Madison) and, a street hooker (Erica). All three women have one thing in common with Henry; they are all seeking beauty in a seemingly loveless world. If you have yet to see this movie, it is certainly one to be added to your films list.
Actors: Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, Marcia Gay Harden

If you like to download movies that have a lot of action and bring in the whole man-vs-nature theme you’re going to love The Grey. This is another one of Liam Neeson’s awesome movies and is sure to keep your eyes on the screen. There are no boundaries that are not crossed in this movie about a man in Alaskan wilds fighting to survive. John Ottaway is a hunter and a guard at a far out of the way oil refinery in Alaska and he’s battling depression – among other things. He keeps the workers of the plant safe from the wild animals that threaten their safety.
Following the media hype surrounding The Hunger Games, I had to add this one to my must see movie list. Boy, am I glad that I did. This movie certainly takes a large jump onto my best movies list. Taking place in the near future, North America is in a world of feast or famine.
If you love to watch movies that are unique and just a little bit different than the usual Hollywood stuff you need to check out Miss Bala. It is loud and brash at times and has some awesome sexiness to it. Laura, the main character is a young woman who is looking for a way out of her impoverished life and her looks seem to be the key. She signs up for a beauty contest and manages to get mixed up with a bunch of crazy gangsters who decide that she should win – in exchange, of course, for doing them a few favors. For those who want to get off the beaten path when they watch movies, Miss Bala is an excellent choice in movies.
When you want to watch movies that will stay with you for a long time, movies that will touch your heart and soul and make you feel like you are truly connected to the characters, you should watch for Kinyarwanda. There are multiple story lines in this film, which makes it even more interesting. A young man from the Hutu area and a Tutsi young woman fall in love while a soldier that is far away from her family struggles to address the greater good in her personal battles. A priest must face horrors that should never be mentioned as he struggles with his faith. This is one of the best movies for those who love drama and you’ll be sure to enjoy it from the beginning to the end.
If you’re looking for the best movies to watch at home that have a truly good story, you should check out Coriolanus. The big Roman hero was Coriolanus. He was a strong soldier and a strong sense of self-worth and belief in himself. He had a lot of extreme view and sometimes that set the masses off into riots. Politicians out-maneuvered people and Rome became a bloody place to be. When his mother, Volumnia, is banished from their country, Coriolanus gives himself up to his enemy, Tullus Aufidius. When Coriolanus must decide between his mother and his new Master, things get really ugly. Things do not go as planned. Things rarely do. This should be on everyone’s best movies list if you love movies with loads of excitement!
One of the best new movies to watch this year is the action-thriller movie, Contraband. Mark Wahlberg is at it again as he leads a great cast. He plays a man who left the world of drug smuggling behind in order to do what is best for his family. But his brother is still in it and he has to go back in order to protect him from a ruthless drug lord. In order to save his brother he has to do one more run so that he can settle his brother’s debt. It doesn’t take him long to put together a crew to go to Panama and pick up millions of dollars in counterfeit dollar bills. Of course, things never go as planned and that is when it gets really exciting. If you are looking to watch movies with lots of action, Contraband is a great choice.
