Chances are, if you’re taking a look into an article like this one, than you are trying to get a better glimpse into the very critically acclaimed and instant classic, “Memento”. Sure, there is a good bit to know and to understand about this film, most of which will likely be discussed within this article and the content of its paragraphs.

While there might be several different things to consider and understand when it comes to a film like this, the best way that you can understand the film is through learning about the important events of the plot. The trouble with this is, the plot is not in chronological order, as most movies would be and therefore this becomes a little bit tricky when you go to detail the events of the film.

Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks was one of the biggest blockbuster smash hits of the 1990s. It was adapted from the novel of the same name written by Winston Groom and released in 1986 and the movie was released in 1994. The movie stars Tom Hanks, Robyn Wright Penn, Sally Field and Gary Sinise.

Immediately upon the release of the film it was a huge success and ended up grossing more than $677 million. All this despite some problems with casting the film and director. The movie ended up winning seven Academy Awards and many other industry awards with Tom Hanks winning best actor for his performance as the main character.

Its a Wonderful Life may well be Frank Capra’s masterpiece. It is the film where his positive outlook on life, his humanity, his humane portrayal of the characters, shines through most brightly. All of Capra’s works present his philosophy on life and love, but this film defines that philosophy, and still stands as the greatest Christmas movie of all time.

Yes, yes, the nostalgic, inner child in you wants to say A Christmas Story is the greatest holiday film, or maybe How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The cynic in you chortles and says “No, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are the best Christmas movies, LOL!” But no, sorry, this film is the greatest holiday film of all time, with Miracle on 34th Street being a distant second.
