Fiction: "Terminator"
Fantastic fighters make empathy with the heroes, find ways to solve problems with them. The dynamics of what is happening on the screen makes you distract from the monotonous boring days of everyday life. When viewing, you will not be able to get bored and remain indifferent to the fate of heroes.
What are the films with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role? The Terminator and its sequel immediately found their fans. Action, thriller, fantasy connected together. The feeling of love for the mother forces the protagonist to send a defender from the future into the past - a soldier who does not look like those whom the heroine Sarah Connor and her son John are used to seeing.
Machines begin to take over the world, and in order to prevent them from finally destroying the human race, John must be saved in the past, who will be able to repel soulless robots in the future.
Films that must necessarily be continued, these are films of the 20th century. This time corresponds to the endings, indicating that the action is not yet completed. These are the smallest details left in the past, these are the heroes who forgot to convey certain objects, and we feel that they must fulfill the plan, but much later, that is, in the next series. Judging by the reviews, this is exactly what their fans like.
Action: Die Hard
Many films of the 20th century tell about real heroes who alone can resist the invaders, who with their mind, excellent endurance, training and endurance save the hostages from death. A vivid example is the film "Die Hard."
It consists of several series, and each of them is referred to the category “Best Movies of the 20th Century”. Sometimes it seems that the film was created specifically for the actor who is chosen to play the role of the main character. And it becomes unclear who and what was created for whom: an actor for a film or a film for an actor. This is what happens in Die Hard. It is impossible to imagine this film without Bruce Willis - film fans say so. And unconditionally you begin to believe each act and feeling of the actor from the first minutes of the movie.
At the beginning of each series of scenes from the peaceful life of the hero, his completely ordinary plans, meetings, planned vacations. The viewer really hates the terrorists, because they violate the measuredness of life, violate the good that is called family, love, happiness.
Anyone can be in John McClain's place. Will he have the strength of mind and ability to resist the invaders? According to the laws of the genre, of course, everything will be fine, because evil must be punished. But in life, it can end completely differently. Everyone who watches the film understands this.
Comedy: Home Alone
The highest gross comedy tape from the category "Best Movies of the 20th Century" - "Home Alone." The adventures of a little boy, left at home alone on Christmas, will not leave anyone indifferent. It seems to many that the situation itself is absurd. How can I forget a child at home? The blame for everything is human fuss, huge workload at work, disorganization of home life.
And what about the baby? What is it like to be left without adults? First comes the joy of the appearance of freedom of action, permissiveness. But negative characters appear. Bandits trap by robbing houses. The boy is in the center of events. His incredible fiction, original traps and calculated actions of the robbers in advance delight.
Of course, gradually, somewhere in the subconscious, the viewer understands that all this is an invention of scriptwriters and directors. Such behavior of a ten-year-old baby in real life is impossible. But the dynamism of what is happening makes us forget about common sense. The plot captures from the first minutes of the film. The child’s play is great - all viewers agree.
Thrillers: Pulp Fiction
20th Century Films from the category "thrillers" are incredibly popular. They can combine several genres at the same time. For example, the sensational film “Pulp Fiction”, which was sensational at one time, perfectly combined comedy, crime (detective story), and thriller. The viewer is used to the development of one or two storylines. But here are three stories.
In the first one of the heroines finds his salvation from drugs, in the second it tells about the life of a boxer and making an important decision for his entire future sports career. In the third story, all the heroes who until this moment existed only in their own are united.
The film is interesting for its stellar cast. They are simply enough to name to understand how bright the creation with their participation should be:
- John Travolta ;
- Bruce Willis
- Quentin Tarantino, who is the director of the picture.
Horror: Alien, Jaws
Movies of this category are not always loved by people with an unstable psyche. But all the other fans of “tickling” their nerves note that such films are also in great demand. They excite the blood, causing it to freeze in its veins, checking how balanced the person looking at the screen is.
These films penetrate the most diverse areas of human life: you can see the action on another planet and the heroes who encountered the aliens - a race hostile to earthlings, ready to destroy all life on Earth.
This is the movie "Alien." Few people manage to survive in this battle, but captures in the film the impossibility of what happened, the incredibility of everything that happens. Everything is shot so reliably that this is what terrifies the viewer.
The best films of the 20th century (foreign) penetrate the depths of the sea and manage to make it so that the inhabitants of the seas and oceans can also inspire horror and fear to people. The film "Jaws" is constantly in suspense. It is clear that a lot of terrible and bloody is shown using computer graphics, but this is not the main thing. The worst thing is that something that can cause harm, not somewhere on a sky-high planet or in another Galaxy, is nearby.
If you collect all the best films of the 20th century, their list will be huge. And this is completely justified, because each of them is a real masterpiece. The twentieth century has created so many diverse films that have found their audience that one can only admire the work of famous venerable directors and actors, as well as those who are just starting to delight the audience with their discoveries and presentation on the screen of feelings and emotions that excite the imagination of cinema lovers who came to the cinema.
