    Fight Club

    ★★★★★

    David Fincher's 1999 cult classic is a film that has stood the test of time and continues to be relevant today because of its exploration of themes such as consumerism, masculinity, identity, and rebellion.

    The film delves into a critique of consumer culture, and the various ways in which it shapes our lives and identities. Through the use of clever satire and provocative imagery, the movie shows how advertising and commercialism have stripped people of their individuality and humanity, reducing…

    Taxi Driver

    ★★★★★

    While the plot of Taxi Driver may sound simple enough, it's the themes and tone of the film that really make it a cinema classic.

    Forrest Gump

    ★★★★★

    Forrest Gump does an excellent job of portraying the complexities of American history through the eyes of its simple-minded protagonist. Throughout the movie, Forrest unintentionally finds himself in the middle of significant historical events, such as the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and the civil rights movement. His naivety and lack of understanding often provide a unique perspective on these events, highlighting the contradictions, challenges, and triumphs of American history.

    By juxtaposing Forrest's simplicity with the complex and sometimes dark…

    John Wick: Chapter 4

    ★★★★

    The dog pissing on the dude’s head after he tried to kill the dog was the best “F*ck you” moment of the whole franchise.
