Primal Fear (1996)

This is the story of an attorney Martin Vail, who tries to save an altar boy Aron Stampler who is convicted to have murdered his beloved bishop. Vail finds his ex-wife in the defense and uses his shrewd intelligence to get the boy out of the case. The climax of the movie was really superb.
Its worth watching.

Shawshank Redemption(1994)


One of my most favourite Morgan Freeman movies.
The movie tells the story of an innocent banker Andy( Tim Robbins) who accidentally gets imprisoned in the Shawshank state prison. There he gets a good and prudent friend Red (Freeman). Andy, with his economic talents become a pet of the jail warden and then helps other jailbirds in their education too. Gradually Andy becomes a hero in the prison. The end of the movie is simply superb.
It picturizes many facets of human life and the warmth of good friendships without losing spontaneity.
Many of the dialogues are memorable.

Back to the future Trilogy

Superb movie trilogy. I never thought such thrilling situations can arise by time-travelling.
A crazy scientist Dr. Emmet Brown, nicknamed 'Doc' invents a time machine. He and his friend Marty, a school boy, haapen to be travelling through time. Story cannot be briefed in a few words. But, one thing I can say, you cannot even think of stopping watching in the middle once you have started. It will glue you on to your seats. No portion of the movie will bore you.
A strictly must-watch movie.

Jurassic Park(1993)

Its a must-watch Spielberg movie ever released in Hollywood industry.
John Hammond, a rich Englishman re-creates the extinct Dinosaurs from fossilized dino-DNA. He creates a Jurassic park in an island.But due to some mishap in the park while its construction, government shows doubt in the stability of the island and demands recommendations from experts to endorse the park. So Hammond brings a group of scientists to see the park and approve its possibilities. Hammond's grand-children also join them. But the situations get bad when one among Hammond's staff ttries to steal dinosaur embryos from the island and he disrupts all the safety systems in the park. The expert team along with two little children are out in the park where they must face an ordeal to get back.
The movie is not a saddist one (many of the movies dealing with such monsters often are). It contains many notable situations and dialogues. The writer Michael Chrichton has tried to make the story scientifically as plausible as possible. The computer graphics is really breath-taking.
