3. Constantine
“Exorcist, Demonologist, and Master of the Dark Arts”- sound familiar? We have all seen the popular NBC show starring Matt Ryans as the laughing magician “John Constantine”. But have you seen the mid-2000’s movie starring Keanu Reeves? If not, you are in for a treat.
John Constantine helps a woman prove to the law that her sister’s death was not a suicide, but something more sinister and supernatural. Based on the popular DC comics “Hellblazer” under the Vertigo imprint, Constantine takes you on a fantastic journey, and you can’t say no to Keanu Reeves.
4. Rush Hour

The story revolves around Carter and Lee, too police officers on the same case, overcoming odds and rescuing a young girl from her kidnappers.

A popular series to rewatch:
Harry Potter series: Harry Potter is a British-American film series based on the popular children’s books of the same name by author J. K. Rowling. The series has eight fantasy films.
There is a good chance you might have seen many or all of these incredible masterpieces. But either way, it is highly recommended to revisit these beautiful movies for fun and adventures. Harry Potter is a bunch of fascinating stories combined and made even better with great music and character development.
6. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
The one that started of Daniel Radcliffe’s career, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone is an excellent movie from those times. With reasonably sound special effects on proper character development, the film lays the foundation for the upcoming stories and does a great job at keeping audiences glued to their seats.
7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
A movie that I think is a weaker sequel to the first instalment of the series, Chamber of secrets truly fills in the gap between the first arc and the third arc and fulfils its purpose as a film. While it lacks in dynamic storytelling due to narrative flaws, it compensates that with great CGI and good acting.
8. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The movie is my personal favourite. The prisoner of Azkaban is a film based entirely around the character of Sirius Black. The film brings you back to Hogwarts where the young wizard Harry Potter is trying to find out why Sirius was taken away, and while he is at it, he has to help Lupin attain permanent status at the school.
9. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
“Did you put your name in the goblet of fire?” Famous words of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. The story is marked as the beginning of the end. This is where he, who must not be named, indeed returns into full power.
10. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
When wizard authorities suspect Dumbledore of being incapable of handling Hogwarts and secretly conspiring a mutiny against them, political power causes massive clashes between them and Harry’s plea is discredited. Will the wizard authorities ever find out that the dark lord has genuinely returned? The movie is a very dark one as you witness some heartbreaking scenes and question the characters that you have trusted since the beginning.
11. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
When Dumbledore asks Harry to join potions class to retrieve some information for him, Harry, accidentally, stumbles upon an old potions book that belongs to someone called the Half-Blood Prince. The book makes him a scholar in the eyes of the world, but little does he know who the half-blood prince truly is.
12. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows PT 1 & 2
Voldemort takes over the Ministry of Magic. Harry and his friends need to find a way to save Hogwarts before it is too late. But with increasing internal problems in their group, and their lack of faith in one another can cause more significant issues for them. The two movies focus on their characters finally coming to terms and how they try to defeat the evil that had befallen their beloved school.

Starring Johnny Depp, the movie has a lot more to offer than just action. It is highly recommended for people that like to watch action films with suspenseful storylines and yet great comic relief.

Rango is a chameleon who desires to be a hero but ends up landing in a drought-affected town haunted by bandits occasionally. He pretends to be their saviour. However, things go south very quickly when he has to prove his worth and protect the people from the bandits and their backup weapon, a huge rattlesnake.
17. Sherlock Holmes
Detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and partner Dr Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a criminal mastermind under the name of Lord Blackwood who appears to challenge the very laws of nature. The movie showcases 19th century England and has some crisp direction and camerawork. The set designs are excellent. The music is of excellent quality, and the acting is superb.
