What are the best movies worth watching
Stumble It!
That's the question we all have to ask each time we choose a movie. There are so many things competing for our time, and there are so many movies to choose from, so we don't want to end up spending time and money on movies that leave us less than satisfied. Whatever your motivation in watching a movie, be it for mere entertainment, to get a laugh, to relax and not have to think, to learn something, to be provoked into thought or action or tears...whatever it is, at the last frame we want to feel like it was time well spent.
Every week the LA Times movie reviewers get to watch dozens of movies that are currently showing in the greater LA Region, the home of Hollywood. There are thousands of screens showing commercial and independent releases and a movie critic from the LA Times will get to see each and every one of them. Obviously they get to see some great movies, and a lot of movies not worth our time. The LA Times critics rank movies as "Critics Choice", "Also Recommended", and finally the greater list which has no heading at all; it's just a list of all the other movies out there that the critics have seen with a brief synopsis. Without saying so, this final list are the movies that the LA Times critics at least don't recommend. Of course all of us at some time will disagree with what gets put in this dumpster as there is so much personal taste and opinion in play, but by and large, I have found that movies in the "Critics Choice" and "Also Recommended" lists have been worthwhile movies to watch.
I have been collecting a list of these movies over the last couple of years and posting them at ArikiArt under the Independent and Art House Movies Recommendations section. I am going to continue to maintain this listing, but from now on I am going to use this Movie Reviews blog to post the recommendations. One of the advantages is the "tagging" feature. I will tag each movie with the year that the movie was released, plus a tag for "Critics Choice" or "Also Recommended" so that it will be easy to locate the movies using the tagging feature.
Hopefully this will help you (and me) to narrow down the movies that are most worth our time.
