This movie showcases Denzel Washington at his finest, the acting is superb and the action is nail biting. It's the tale of a young officer's first day on the job (his "training day") and the events that ensue as he learns from his mentor (Denzel). The plot twists in a way that throws you completely off guard. It's truly an amazing movie.
If there's one Edward Norton movie anyone should see, it's this one. The plot is absolutely captivating and upon seeing this for the first time I shed a tear at the end. It tells the tale of a neo-Nazi and his undertaking of his racist ideals that ultimately put him in prison, we see the reformation he undergoes and the effects it has on the world around him. The character development in the movie is second to none and you can't help but become attached to all of the characters in the movie by the end.
I included this movie as a warning to never see it, I'm pretty sure the script was written by a 5 year old. It's that bad.
All great movies that have been in my collection for years. I still watch AHX from time to time. I think he did a better job in that movie than in fight Club, to be honest
ReplyDeleteTraining Day is awesome. I've seen it a couple of year ago, I have to watch it again!
ReplyDeleteAll fantastic movies!
ReplyDeleteThe curb scene in American History X still makes me cringe.. YIKES!
I have both of those movies on my watch list, but I've never had any time to watch them. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I can get to em.
ReplyDeleteI havent seen a bad Denzel movie yet, so I'm looking foward to seeing it if i get a chance, ive seen american history and the mummy, both good movies too (idk bout the sequels to the mummy though..)
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeletegreat post. following you
ReplyDeleteSome classics there
ReplyDeleteGreat choices sir!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Mummy and I have to disagree! This movie isn't written by a 5 year old by far! It would be so much better than this movie if it was.
ReplyDeleteI have the Training Day blu ray waiting for me to watch it, this reminded me to get to it!
ReplyDeleteAt first I was thinking "how can this guy possibly like the mummy?" glad to see I was wrong.
ReplyDeletecan't more then agree with u =)
ReplyDeleteI watched all these movies. They are great. I especially loved training day. Denzel did a really awesome job playing the bad guy.
ReplyDeleteNever seen Training Day, but Odin, I hate Denzel Washington. Eddy Norton is one of my favorite actors and I was very disappointed with the new Mummy movie, considering how much I liked the others.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of these two, but I've seen the Mummy lol
ReplyDeleteMan, you gotta do at least a top ten, do others justice! I agree all are great movies but I think of a ton others when training day and american history x come to mind--scarface, goodfellas, there will be blood (feel like its a mandatory guy movie type of list)
ReplyDeleteAmerican History X was a great and touching movie... The Mummy? Not so much >.>
ReplyDeleteof these, ive only seen American History x
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on all of them except the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Mummy. The original Mummy was the best of the series.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the pic for The Mummy I thought you were kidding. Then I read what you wrote below...and I agree.
ReplyDeleteAmerican History X was probably one of the best movies I've ever see. It's simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, had the same reaction as drej. Haha.
There's a couple here that I haven't seen which I'll probably check out now, thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust watched A-H-X again loved it again xD thanks for the reminder =)
ReplyDeleteI love Training Day. Can't even count how many times I've seen it. A-H-X is pretty good too, I haven't seen it straight through though.
ReplyDeleteI have actually never seen any of them. I guess I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Was a really good read! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've only seen the mummy and I agree it was bad. thanks for showing the other two.
ReplyDeleteGood sugestions. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe mummy such a classic now.
ReplyDeleteI watched all three, Amerian History X is my favorite out of them! I a total Edward Norton fan!
