3- The Great Gatsby
Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of one of the best novels of all time about the 1920s, jazz and art deco.
Master F. Scott Fitzgerald probably wouldn’t have been proud of this adaptation with music by Lana del Rey and temporary licenses, but viewers who love musicals and love stories would.

4- The bridges of Madison
For films like The Bridges of Madison, Clint Eastwood is said to be a better director than actor.
Few smiles come out of our mouths when following the impossible love story between a housewife -Meryl Streep- and a photographer -Clint Eastwood-.

5- Question of time
The specialist’s film Richard Curtis She’s the funniest, sweetest, and most optimistic of the ones on this list.
The story is that of Tim -Domhnall Gleeson-, a young man who discovers he can travel to the past and sees how his family’s “secret” is revealed when he meets the girl of his dreams.
The fantastic condiment is just a thin and elegant excuse used by the director of A Place Called Notting Hill and I love talking about family bonds and unpredictable loves.
In Amazon Prime Video.
6- Your name
One of the great discoveries of Japanese animated cinema in recent years. Makoto Shinkai has entered the pantheon of directors to watch since he released Your Name in 2016.

It is the story of Melvin -Jack Nicholson-, a rich, lonely and moody writer suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder who tries to improve as a person when he falls in love with the waitress at the restaurant he frequents every day.
Indispensable and probably, together with The Departed, the last great film with Nicholson.
