My Favorite Films To Watch Online

By Reed Themy

These days, most people forgo the movie theaters, and just wait for movies to come out on DVD, or arrive at Blockbuster. It is now possible to find movies to download through movie download sites. This list below gives examples of some of the movies you might be able to get by using online movie download sites.

Pulp fiction is a must see movie. This is director Quentin Tarantino?s best work. With stars like Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Samuel L. Jackson, you can?t go wrong. I won?t even try to explain the plot.

The Godfather is the ultimate mafia movie. It tells the story of aging Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), head of one of the big New York mafia families. When Don Vito is shot by a rival mafia gang member there is a blood bath resulting in the death of Sonny (James Caan), the Don?s first son. This leaves the future of the Corleone family in the reluctant hands of Michael (Al Pacino). At first reluctant to join in the ?family? business, the killings turn Michael into a ruthless and determined mafia family leader.

In The Dark Knight, it is Christian Bales turn to wear the Batman costume. He must battle the Joker, one of his toughest foes. Batman goes full force in his attempt to bring the Joker down.

Twelve Angry Men is an old (1957) classic. The story follows the jury deliberations of a murder trial. Juror number 8, Mr. Davis (Henry Fonda) is the lone dissenter, as the other 11 votes see the defendant as guilty. Eventually Mr. Davis gets the other jurors to drop their predispositions, and prejudices, and view the evidence more closely on its own merits. 12 Angry Men was one of the first noteworthy courtroom dramas.

Casablanca stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It is considered one of the best films ever made. It?s during WW2, in North Africa, and Rick (Humphrey Bogart) risks his life to send the woman he loves Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) to safety in America with her husband. This 1942 film has truly stood the test of time.

"In a distant galaxy far, far away". Star Wars is the classic sci-fi adventure for an entire generation. The setting is science fiction but the story line is a classic one, good versus evil. Darth Vader, the dark one, is pitted against the young Jedi warrior Luke Skywalker control of the universe is at stake.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is the final chapter of the trilogy. This epic rendition of Tolkien?s great books is a spectacular visual. An absolute must see film.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo?s Nest is a film classic. This film takes an inside look at what it is like inside a mental institution as a patient. Jack Nicholson is simply outstanding as R. P. McMurphy, the main character.

In the Shawshank Redemption, Andy, wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife, and Red, a longtime prisoner, find a common bond through acts of human decency. Through his unrelenting spirit, Andy creates hope, and then a future, for both himself and Red. Stars Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

This list is just a few of the nearly unlimited number of motion pictures that are available to download online. Using movie downloads might be the most economical way to build a vast movie library. Downloading movies is the latest way everyone can use the web for entertainment. - 16755
