3º – Midnight Cowboy (John Schlesinger, 1969)
A young man from a small town decides to try life in a great metropolis, hoping to improve the quality of his day to day life and find good jobs. However, the reality of the place turns out to be much less pleasant than he had expected. Now, it is up to him to overcome the difficulties encountered, relying on the help of a frustrated con man. ‘Midnight Cowboy’ is sad to bring explicitly the way that the human being is psychologically shaken when faced with a very great frustration. However, more than that, it shows how we managed to overcome the most diverse difficulties when we decided to join the figure of camaraderie.
2º – Thelma & Louise (Ridley Scott, 1991)
After being constantly punished by the social environment that permeates them, two friends decide to leave everything behind and embark on a journey across the country. Directed by Ridley Scott, ‘Thelma and Louise’ weaves hammer-based concepts, exposing, like several other items on this list, the erratic way a society guides its path. A daring and irreproachable film in its construction of rhythm, leaving the concepts worked more palatable to the viewer.
1º – The Goonies (Richard Donner, 1985)
A group of friends decides to undertake a journey behind a lost treasure in order to save the house of one of its members. ‘The Goonies’ is possibly the greatest film about childhood ever conceived. Everything in the film works by unraveling every detail of the period, in a plot that changes assertively to each outdated scene. A pearl that you must undoubtedly present to your child and all your cinephile friends.
