4º – Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993)
An embittered reporter has to cover an annual event that he despises. Instead, the man will inexplicably have to relive the same day several times until he finds the right answer to his life. ‘Groundhog Day’ is, in my personal opinion, the biggest comedy movie ever made. Here we will have blended the traditional elements of the genre with heavy philosophical concepts, such as the notion of ‘eternal return’.
3º – Forrest Gump (Robert Zemeckis, 1994)
A piece of the turbulent American history of the second half of the twentieth century is told through the eyes of a young stranger. One of the great films of Robert Zemeckis ‘filmography, ‘Forrest Gump’is a light and pleasant work, with Tom Hanks’ incredible performance.
2º – Singin’ in the Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952)
Irresistible, ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ brings in its plot the battle of some individuals linked to the silent film in the attempt to convert their productions to the arrival of sound to the seventh art. All the content exposed in this film works by causing the viewer good feelings.
1º – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (John Hughes, 1986)
A teenager decides to take a day off from his school routine by pretending to be sick to his parents. On that day, the teenager, along with his girlfriend and a friend, will try to make the most of each situation faced. The 1980s classic directed by the legendary John Hughes, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ is much more than a typical teen movie of the decade, offering strong philosophical constructions and creating an uncommon look at what human life consists of.
