Eriks Top Five Movies to Watch

I have no new movies to review for today so I figured I would post something about movies that I believe are a must see before you die.



The First of the three is The Crow. I was first shown this movie by one of my friends who is a movie buff.

The Crow is a story about a guitarist Eric Draven(played by Brandon Lee) who is brought back to life by a crow a year after his fiancees murder. The crow guides him through the land of the living to exact revenge on his killers. This is a creepy Gothic tale taking place in a dark crime ridden Detroit. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants a good movie with a interesting plot line.


The second movie I recommend is The Warriors.

This is a movie about a gang called the warriors who are framed for murdering a very powerful and influential gang lord named Cyrus. Cyrus called for all the gangs in New York city to send representatives to meet. Cyrus wants to unite all of the gangs in New York but as he is speaking a shot rings out and Cyrus falls dead. The murder is blamed on the Warriors and they are forced to flee across New York from the Bronx to Coney island while avoiding the cops and every other gang in New York city.
This is a very well made movie about the gangs in 1970 New York. I highly recommend this movie because of the character development and just the imaginative nature that the director had for this movie.




This is my last movie that I highly recommend. Yes, I know this is a chick flick but I have to tell you if your a guy and want to impress your girlfriend this is the move you bring in. The Pride and Prejudice movie is made after the book written by Jane Austin, who is considered by many to be the creator of the chick flick.

Pride and Prejudice is the definition of chick flick. It has love, comedy, hot guys(according to my girlfriends), and witty verbal fencing. The story is about the Bennet family. The father is gaining in years and is soon to pass away. He has only daughters so that when he does pass his entire estate will go to a distant cousin that none of the family likes. The only way to prevent this is for the daughters to find a husband so that he may take the estate. The perfect chance arrives when a wealthy aristocrat Mr. Bingly and his friend Mr. Darcy visit the area. The oldest sister Jane (Rosamund Pike) falls for a awkward but loving Mr. Bingly. While Elizabeth(Keira Knightley) clashes wittingly with the equally headstrong Mr. Darcy. According to my my friend the screenplay went along with the book very well and there was very little left out. I felt it is a very well made movie with amazingly witty dialog and old world humor.
