Disclaimer: This is not an impartial list of critic endorsed films. Whether I like a movie or not depends largely on the mood that I am in going into and while watching the movie. I am not using any official criteria to judge the movies that are on this list, but the following plays a role:

• The plot cannot be predictable.
• The themes of the movie must change the way I think about a topic.
• A scene or multiple scenes in the movie must be emotionally moving.
• I’m impartial to a good science fiction flick.
• Some of the movies above are linked by common themes. Can you guess which ones?

This is the list of movies that I want to see.
