In this space, please discuss one movie that you think your peers should see. You may use multimedia and give links outside this wiki but please don't copy paste anything.
1. Hello Friends,
I think you should all see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975).
You are in a mental hospital but you are not a patient. There is a nurse-dictator and you want to get out of this place. However, you actually like these guys who are mentally ill. .
If you are Jack Nicholson's fan like me, this is a great opportunity for you to see how handsome he was/is and how marvellous he acts. It is not just about him, of course. You can also see Christopher Lloyd who you may know from the science fiction film, Back to Future. He was the crazy professor.
"The film was the second to win all five major Academy Awards( Best Picture, Actor in Lead Role, Actress in Lead Role,Director and Screen Play) an accomplishment not repeated until 1991 bv The Silence of the Lambs." (Wikipedia)
I strongly reccomend that you watch the legendary movie "Leon" (starring Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman and Danny Aiello) written and directed by Luc Besson. It is a 1994 French film categorized as thriller, but you will find much more in this movie, of course, if you have not watched it yet.
You may find the detailed information about "Leon" here, and check the ratings on imdb.
I hope you'll enjoy!
Özlem.
3. Hi everyone,
I believe most of you have seen it, but if not you should definitely watch "Eat Pray Love" (2010). The movie is about Liz, who one day realizes she is not happy and she starts a journey to find herself. The movie is not just romantic- it shows how one change her life completely within a year. I don't want to give any spoiler- but you can see different people, cultures and lives in the movie.here is more information about the plot and the cast.
Enjoy it!

4.Hi, I think you will enjoy watching "Memento" directed by Christopher Nolan. Lenny,the head role, is determined to find justice after the loss of his wife. However, he has "anterograde amnesia”. (Anterograde amnesia is a loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia.) So he has to develop new techniques to find the man who killed his wife. Plus the scenes flow from the last events to the beginning. It is really different from many movies.If you haven’t watched it yet, you have missed a lot...

5. Hello there, Two weeks ago I had to go the cinema with a friend. Right, I literally had to. She begged me to join her, and I asked what movie we were gonna watch. She texted me " Celal Tan ve Ailesinin Aşırı Acıklı Hikayesi". I thought that was the content of the movie, but I was wrong. That was the very name of it. Surprised by the suggestion, I tried to convince my friend for another movie. Thank God she did not change her mind, and I could, thanks to her, get to see this lovely movie. Yep, Celal Tan is the man, and of course as the title implies he has a family and they, as you have already guessed, have an extremely sad story. While watching this sad story, however, you laugh till your socks off. Filled with irony and talented actors, this movie is a must-see one. Here is an important tip: Don't you dare to watch the trailer. Yep, it is that bad. I'll stop here because I don't wanna take the pleasure and excitement away by telling you the story (I'm not that mean). Celal Tan, his family and a very sad story. Enjoy it! After you watch it, tell me if you agree with me. Looking forward to hearing from you.Hale
6. Hi everyone, my recommendation for you is "La vita è bella". Roberto Benigni is the leading actor, the director and the co-writer of the movie which tells the story of a Jewish man, his family and what they go through in a Nazi concentration camp. It is a movie of affection, imagination, happiness, sorrow, valor and of many other things. It is one of the greatest movies ever made. Therefore, everyone should see it before it is too late. (Tuğçe)
7. Doctor Zhivago (1965) Şükrü Erdem
The epic story of the Bolshevik Revolution,of the civil war after the revolution, and of the love between Yuri and Lara. It's based on the nobel winning novel of Boris Pasternak, who was threatened to be exiled from Russia for writing this book. It describes the hardships Russian people faced at that period, and criticizes post-revolution Russia. You can find all the information on this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059113/ The whole movie is a magnificient work. These are just some of the splendifirious features:
Hi all Fledians!
My suggestion will be “Modern Times”. It is a comedy movie directed and performed by Charlie Chaplin. It displays the hilarious life of “Little Tramp” who cannot avoid ending up a wreck as a result of his futile efforts in the modern world. The film is defined as “a story of industry, of individual enterprise – humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness” in the opening scene. It is really worth watching since it mirrors the life of every single person in the modern world. It shows us the feeling of oppression and pressure on the people due to the social control through the life of the workers and the boss watching the workers with the “surveillance camera” in the film. Even in one scene Little Tramp is literally and literarily trapped in the machine and maybe it is the one of the best illustrations of how every person is forced to make a choice in his/her life in the childhood and live according to the boundaries defined, until the end of their life. All in all, Modern Times is the last silent film by Chaplin, but it shouts the psychology and desires of “modern” people, but does not forget to give us the suggestion not to lose our hopes and to smile no matter what happens =)
Öznur O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000)Directed by Coen Brothers Written by Homer Inspired by The Odyssey
"Sometimes, you have to lose your way to get back home?"
What is the best prison break movie ever made? I can hear you say Shawshank Redemption. Well, you are right to some extent, but you miss some essential points which are humor, love and some great music on the world. Here is the greatest movie ever: O Brother, Where art Thou?
Starring George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, this movie is comparable to nothing else. The scenes are set around1930s. Soundtracks are like a festival to the ear. The movie starts with the prisoners working in railroads. They sing songs just for fun. Or they? Or they have a plan? Actually, they have a plan, but not a clue!
(George Clooney) makes an escape plan from the prison. And he had better hurry as his love, sweet wife is marrying soon to another man. But escaping alone is not possible, so mission is impossible. Every three prisoners are handcuffed together. So, if he wants to escape, he must try hard with his two unreliable, unrealistically funny, very naive comrades. He makes his brothers believe that they are escaping because there is a treasure hidden somewhere in the valley and there is a flood coming, and that he has the treasure map. Run as much and fast as you can now!
On the way what waits them?
Trouble.
Among them beautiful and mind blowing sirens, a cyclops, crazy bank robber 'Babyface Nelson', a cruel campaigning governor, and his opponent, a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob, a black man who has sold his soul to Satan for music, and a blind prophet, who warns brother that "the treasure you see shall not be the treasure you find"
In this movie, you shall find what you look for, a movie of great taste, in terms of soundtracks, acting, scenes, professionalism, a blend of comedy with the sad facts of world's black history.
I believe that it is one of the most impressive films I have ever seen. It is a story of a little child who is searching for his parents. While trying to find his parents, he just listens to his inner voice and the sound of nature. His parents are also trying to find him but it is very difficult to find the track of each other, because they are far away from each other and they do not even know whether they live or not, but they can feel somewhere in the country their beloved ones are living.
While following the sound of the music, August's mother (Lyla Novacek) and father(Louis Connelly) see each other and they fall in love immediately. But they cannot marry and they lose each other, because Lyla's father does not want them get married. He sents his daughter away and after August is born, Lyla's father send her own son away too. They lose each other, but they do not give up loving and at the end they find each other like a miracle.
Sometimes we should belive in miracles. If we love from deep inside, it will not be impossible to hear our beloved ones!

-" Do you choose me, or 'your people'?" - "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ" is the name of the film.
- A close friendship, going back to the childhood...
- Is there a way for us to clean our sins?
- How can a little accident -misused by evil intentions- lead to huge results?
- Let's go to Him.
You must know that this film has got 11 Oscars and another 18 awards from varying instutitions. - Go and see it!

Hello everyone,
You should see Taare Zameen Par (Every Child is Special) which is about an eight-year-old child whose parents send him to a boarding school since he is unsuccessful in the school. In this school his life changes thanks to his new art teacher. I will not go in detail, but as future teachers and parents you should see this movie. (Elif)
13. Hi all,
I want to mention the movie that affected me -maybe- the most in my life: Hotel Rwanda. It's about discrimination and political issues, but the scenes are all real. The movie is adapted from an event occured in Rwanda, a black hotel manager trying to protect refugees during the civil war. No words are enough for it. Just go and watch!
Dear friends, This is one of the most famous films and maybe all of you have seen it, but it can be seen again and again. The Shawshank Redemption is a striking story of hope and determination. An prison with no hope, but a man with an incredible escape plan... Should be seen and re-seen! SALOME

- Cast: Omar Sharif (Yuri), Julie Christie (Yuri), Alec Guinness (Yevgraf), Tom Courtenay (Pasha/Strelnikov) All of them performed magnificient actings.
- Director: David Lean. Without any computer-generated scene, he produced vivid, impressive scenes that absorb you while watching.
- The story: I won't give spoilers, but you could easily cry at the end of the movie (twice!)
I guarantee that you will not be touched by this film, you will be fascinated!Here's the trailer:
