It’s not easy to sort through the films released in recent years. There are so many masterpieces, cult films, little nuggets. We have brought together all of Hitek’s editorial staff to prepare you for the bWe all have a favorite movie that makes us happy, softens our sorrows or makes us forget our worries. And since we are all cloistered at home, it is the moment for us to share the best movies to watch at least once in life. Make yourself comfortable and start watching these blockbuster movies.
The list had the merit of showing in hollow the idea of world auteur cinema that a popular American cultural magazine has formed: a very ethnocentric vision and not very familiar with foreign cinematography. This prompted us to come up with our own list of those films that were little seen by the public and well deserving of a second chance.
Dramas, comedies, thrillers, these are strokes of genius, stories that touched us, moved us, made us laugh, made us cry, made us dream. All worn by talented actors. Many have become cult films that we keep watching. They enchanted the Venice Film Festival, seduced the Cannes Film Festival, won numerous Oscars. Some have even been shunned by critics, but not by the public, and today they are anchored in the collective memory. Here is a non-exhaustive selection of feature films that we should all see at least once in our life.
The best movies to watch
Here is a list of the best movies ever. All the titles that we highly recommend you to see. Films that have made the history of cinema, which everyone should see at least once in their life. In the list there is no shortage of the great classics of the past, as well as the cult of the most famous directors and the most recent box office hits. Numerous titles have won Academy Awards and have been highly praised by viewers. For each famous movie you can find information such as the director, the actors, the release date and where to see it in the cinema, on TV or in streaming.
1. Casablanca
Casablanca, during World War II. In the cosmopolitan nightclub of Rick Blaine, a bitter and skittish exiled American, old regulars meet, Nazi officers, French police and resistance fighters on the run. Among them Victor Laszlo, Czech dissident, and his wife Ilsa, the great lost love of Rick. Bogart and Bergman give life to a legendary couple caught in the torments of an era conducive to heroism, unfavorable to lovers.
2. Vertigo
Vertigo starts off as a thriller but the trick of its script is revealed in the middle. So what is the second part of the film for? Hitchcock took us by boat: it will not be a question of a Poirot investigation but of love, inevitably impossible, since it is phantasmagorical. Cinema fantasy? Also… and this is certainly not the first film of its kind. Except that here, it’s more beautiful, the fault of the psychedelic images, the Stewart / Novak couple and the music of Bernard Herrmann.
3. The Sound of Music
Maria (Julie Andrews), a young novice at Nonnberg Abbey (Salzburg), loves and above all sings about life with an ardor that does not suit the rule of the cloister. Sent to look after the seven children of the austere retired widower Captain von Trapp, her unorthodox ways were quick to breathe life into a family that waited only for her. A musical romance against a backdrop of anschluss, ländler and schnitzel, which once listened to never leaves you. A hymn to joy at the dawn of a torn Europe.
4. The Godfather
Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a young son of immigrants raised in Brooklyn, always dreamed of joining the local mafia. Trained by his two “mentors”, Jimmy Conway ( Robert De Niro ) and Tommy DeVitopar (Joe Pesci), Henry climbs the ranks of organized crime with agility. Burglary, raiding, drug trafficking and murder are now part of his life as an outlaw. But when death on his tail finally brushes against him, Henry, as lucid as he is ambitious, quickly understands: the downward spiral has begun.
5. The Pianist
Music soothes the soul. A very common proverb for such an unusual (true) story: the journey of a renowned Polish Jewish pianist (Adrien Brody), who in extremis avoided deportation. As he dies of hunger and cold, a music-loving Nazi officer recognizes him. Realistic about the imminent defeat of his country, he saves it by secretly bringing it food. A drama carried by the work of Chopin, omnipresent and sublime.
6. The Dark Knight
Let’s not go four ways, if you’re only going to see one superhero movie, this would be this one. Like all of Christopher Nolan’s films, this second installment in the trilogy is grounded in reality and offers us a tortured, yet believable, Batman in today’s world. Heath Ledger’s performance, stealing the limelight from everyone in his role as the terrifying Joker, is in itself worth a look. Quite simply, a masterpiece.
7. Titanic
The phenomenon Leonardo DiCaprio, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, “I am the king of the world”, the chance to satisfy the morbid curiosity linked to the legend-tragedy of the Titanic, the cinematic love story between Jack and Rose, played by the extraordinary Kate Winslet, the colossal production. There are many reasons why Titanic occupies a place of honor on this list of cinematic “best of.”
8. Pulp Fiction
Every Tarantino film would have a reason to be on this list of must-see movies, from The Hyenas to Kill Bill , but Pulp Fiction is his absolute cult. This is confirmed by some timeless dialogues such as that of the “royal with cheese”, symbolic scenes such as that of the dance competition between Vincent (John Travolta) and Mia (Uma Thurman), the unmistakable soundtrack or the iconic costumes.
9. Forrest Gump
“Mom always said …”: that life is like a box of chocolates, that miracles happen every day, “You have to throw the past behind you before moving on.” Forrest Gump is a wonderful character and his story runs through, with unique irony and candor, a part of the American one, between presidents and well-known personalities, wars and revolutions. If you’ve never seen this movie, give yourself a nice present.
10. The Shining
Almost all of Kubrick’s films, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to A Clockwork Orange, through Full Metal Jacket to Eyes Wide Shut, have entered consolidated mass imaginaries. The Shining, however, will be for its story taken from the novel of another big like Stephen King, for the interpretation of Jack Nicholson or the disturbing atmospheres of the Overlook Hotel, is the most pop of the director’s titles, as well as one of the most famous horror films in the history of cinema.
11. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The 1971 film version of Road Dahl’s children’s fairy tale is a family classic, especially around Christmas. Playing the extravagant and unpredictable owner of the chocolate factory where little Charlie, accompanied by his grandfather, is brought to visit after finding a precious golden ticket in a tablet, is the memorable Gene Wilder.
12. ET
The story of the little alien welcomed and helped by a child, his sister and his friends, after being left on Earth by mistake, is as tender as it is revolutionary for the representation of the cinematic alien. ET “home phone” overturns an imaginary linked to fear and offers a story of deep and moving friendship.

14. Fight Club
Directed by David Fincher and based on the novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club was included in 2008 in the list of the 500 best films in history according to Empire. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt take on the role of protagonists in this film that could be defined as a psychological delusion, with a story that lies between dream and reality. In fact, the film offers a critical vision of the condition of modern man, who is continually confronted with alienation, consumerism and indoctrination. In short, if you want to watch a classic with dark and action atmospheres, but that offers a deep reflection, here is the one for you: you can find it available in streaming on Prime Video.
15. Pretty Woman
A little lightheartedness and daydreaming takes sometimes and Pretty Woman is one of the undisputed champions at this sort of thing. The comedy directed by Garry Marshall tells the love story between Julia Roberts, a call from Los Angeles, and Richard Gere, a powerful and unstoppable businessman. Theirs is a modern tale that lashes out against conventions and prejudices and that, more than thirty years after its release, continues to fascinate. A particular note of merit also goes to the soundtrack that takes up the 1964 song Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison, source of inspiration for the title of the film.
16. Inception
Film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, it features an exceptional cast with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard. Dom Cobb, aka DiCaprio, has a surprising ability: he is able to insert himself in the dreams of others to pick up the secrets hidden in the depths of the subconscious. From this assumption, the viewer is overwhelmed by a film that welcomes more than one genre, from thriller to science fiction to action, for a compelling and not at all obvious film.
17. The Millionaire

A dramatic, engaging and exciting film that knows how to tell bloody scenarios without ever ceasing to fascinate, also thanks to the extraordinary original soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
19. Dirty Dancing
Let’s go back to a bit of lightheartedness with a romantic comedy. Dirty Dancing – Forbidden Dance is a 1987 film directed by Emile Ardolino and starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray.

The latter should question the spectators, since they open several opportunities for the future of the MCU in cinema or in series on streaming platforms. Warning, the rest of this article contains spoilers on the Eternals post-credits scenes.

The film Cruella offers an “origin-story” of the terrible villain of the 101 Dalmatians.

Warning, the following contains spoilers for the post-credits Black Widow scene. During this final scene, Yelena Belova, the adopted sister of Natasha played by Florence Pugh, recollects at the tomb of the Black Widow. The scene takes place after his death in Avengers: Endgame.
Countess Valentina “Val” Allegra de Fontaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus then appears, and we understand that Yelena is working for her.

Yelena then appears determined to avenge her sister and ready to do battle with the Avenger.

28. Six Underground
A team of super-mercenaries tries to rid the planet of its wicked dictators by blowing everything up in its path… The Mission: Impossible of Michael Bay is certainly punctuated by often lamentable low valves, tailor-made for Ryan Reynolds by the writers of Deadpool, but also features the most generous and goofy action scenes from the Netflix team, a pyrotechnic and cartoony show festival. In 6 Underground, Bay spends his time ransacking museums, messing up works of art and bravely embracing his bad taste. Not forbidden to see in it his final authorist manifesto. His Irishman, or Mank, to him.
29. Klaus
For its first steps in animated cinema, the streaming platform has achieved a feat: putting 2D back at the heart of the debate, which no studio had dared to do in recent years. It took him well: nominated for the Oscars in the wake, the film by Spanish filmmaker Sergio Pablos – passed by Disney and Illumination – made young and old subscribers dream, with this beautiful and moving tale, on the origins of the letters to Santa Claus. A rhythmic, intelligent fantasy imbued with lovely poetry.
30. Marriage story
The title is misleading: Noah Baumbach’s film is the terrible chronicle of a divorce where all blows are permitted between the two opposing parties, fanned by the pride of their lawyers. Because Marriage story also draws up the cruel observation of the judicialization of American society, ready to swallow all raw its children who do not fit in the boxes that have been assigned to them. Nothing beats dialogue, even violent, as in THE scene of the film where the two ex-lovers(Scarlett Johansson) tell each other their four truths, finding in passing a humanity of which the procedure had deprived them.
31. Annihilation
After his prodigious Ex machina, Garland adapts very freely the novel Annihilation by Jeff Vander Meer. It is about a mysterious area that spreads along the American coast, from which no military sent to explore seems to return. A biologist (Natalie Portman, disturbing) traces her path there, in search of answers and of her missing husband. Annihilation is envisioned as a large-scale puzzle, nightmarish sensory trip that contains the most insane horror scene of the last ten years. An immediate SF classic.
32. The Irishman
A highly anticipated gangster drama film by Martin Scorsese (the acclaimed director of Taxi Driver, The Departed or The Goodfellas), The Irishman is the twilight biopic of Frank Sheeran, henchman in the Italian-American Mafia. With, in the center, its relation with Jimmy Hoffa, boss of the union of the truckers in the Sixties, and follower of the illegal businesses. A man too loud in the eyes of some … A detective drama showing a duration of 3:20, with the duo Robert De Niro / Al Pacino, surrounded by a prestigious cast, in which we find Joe Pesci, unforgettable in Les Freed.
33. Pieces of a woman
A drama produced by Netflix, and shot in the United States by Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo (Delta, White God, La Lune de Jupiter), Pieces of a woman is a story announced as strong and moving, but also particularly sad. It follows the journey of a woman giving birth to a stillborn child, played by Vanessa Kirby (The Crown, Fast & Furious: Hobbs and Shaw series), awarded for her performance by the Volpi Cup for best actress at the Venice Film Festival 2020. With around her her husband (Shia LaBeouf) and her mother (Ellen Burstyn, actress in Alice is no longer here and Requiem for a dream). A production hailed by French critics, and announced as brilliantly performed and produced.
34. Malcolm & Marie
Film directed by Sam Levinson (son of Barry Levinson, signatory of Other Happy Day and Assassination Nation, and noted for his work on the Euphoria series) and shot behind closed doors during the coronavirus epidemic in the United States, Malcolm & Mary features a director returning from the premiere of his new film, and having a long discussion at home with his girlfriend. Production in black and white, mixing among other themes the hesitations of the artists or the problems of couple, this film counts in its roles John David Washington (son of Denzel Washington, revealed by Black Kklansman – I infiltrated the Klu Klux Klan, then reviewed in Tenet) and Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far from home, the Euphoria series).
35. The King
In the historic Netflix film The King, Timothée Chalamet (the revelation of Call me by your name, soon in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune) plays the young sovereign Henry V, who grabs his charge with force, then attacks the kingdom of France, where he will deliver the decisive battle of Agincourt. Supported by the direction of David Michôd (Animal Kingdom, The Rover), this dramatic production, hailed by a good part of the critics, is announced as original in its direction, and counts in its cast Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ) and Joel Edgerton (Strictly Criminal) as the famous John Falstaff.

A film with the particularity of being directed by Simon Stone, an Australian who previously directed Le Secret des Finch (adaptation located in Australia of the play The Wild Duck), and well known since the early 2010s for his work as a director theater (thanks to his show Thyestes, with Australians, in particular, or its adaptation mixing William Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton and John Ford played by the French, with in particular in the cast Valeria Bruni Tedeschin and Adèle Exarchopoulos). A drama heralded as moving and haunted by sad passion, releasing on Netflix.

After having distinguished itself in the field of animated films while in 3D computer graphics with the Christmas tale Klaus, Netflix unveils The Willoughby Family, a feature film which transposes the bestseller written by Lois Lowry. We follow four children who judge their parents to be selfish, and set off on a journey without them in order to discover real values … Co-directed by Kris Pearn (known for his work in the Sony Pictures Animation studio, on Storm of giant balls 2 in particular), this cartoon has been praised for its intelligence and humor with hints of acidity, and its voice actors include Will Forte (the series The last man on earth), Sean Cullen (the series Workin ‘Moms), Alessia Cara, Maya Rudolph (My entire high school sinking into the sea) or, as the narrator.

Left for a road trip vacation, the Mitchell family will have to deal with this problem … With the voice cast of Abbi Jacobson (the Bojack Horseman and Désenchantée series), Danny McBride (Your Majesty), and Maya Rudolph (Away we go, My entire high school sinking into the sea). A film for families and children in particular, rather well received.
39. The Guilty
Behind closed doors thriller released on Netflix, The Guilty follows Jake Gyllenhaal (unforgettable in Donnie Darko, The Secret of Brokeback Mountain or Zodiac) as a man working at the center receiving emergency calls to the police, confronted with the appeal of a woman arguing that she is kidnapped. This remake of a successful Danish thriller released in 2018 is directed by Antoine Fuqua (A Target Killer, Training Day, The Fall of the White House) and promises above all suspense, as well as a great performance from its main performer.
40. The Witcher: the wolf’s nightmare
Animated feature film coming out on Netflix, The Witcher: The Wolf’s Nightmare is a spin-off of The Witcher series, itself based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s book saga. We follow the course of the Witcher Vesemir (voiced by Theo James, actor in the Divergent and Underworld sagas), facing murderous fantastic creatures. A cartoon heroic fantasy film advertised as visually impressive.
41. Vivo
Vivo is a full-length animated cartoon film produced by Sony Pictures Animation, a studio that first conceived Les Rebelles de la forêt and Les Rois de la glisse, before experiencing immense success with Tempête de boulettes giantesses and its suite and Hotel Transylvania and its suites as well as The Secret World of Emojis. In 2021, their film The Mitchell against the Machines was finally released on Netflix, and was widely applauded: the same year, Vivo therefore has the same fate. Animated feature film with scenes danced with songs, it is co-produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, star in musicals having triumphed on Broadway, like Hamilton, and seen after in films like The Return of Mary Poppins.
42. Intrusion
In the Netflix thriller The Intrusion, a woman sinks into paranoia after she and her husband are the victims of a burglary, in their huge, ultra-modern house at the gates of the desert. A building that may be hiding secrets … A production focusing above all on suspense, with its production by Adam Salky (at the helm of episodes of the Blindspot series), behind his screenplay Chris Sparling (Buried, Greeland, the last refuge) and its cast Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire, An American ode) and Logan Marshall-Green (Devil, Sand Castle, Upgrade).
43. Baby Driver
Halfway between an ultra entertaining feel good movie and a nervous action film, Baby Driver is another demonstration of Edgar Wright’s qualities. After having notably directed the Cornetto trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The Last pub before the end of the world), the British director has therefore reiterated with a film which presents the adventures of a little driving genius nicknamed Baby ( Ansel Elgort). Without being a masterpiece, Baby Driver is a real treat of modern cinema, a work easy to see, review and above all appreciate.
44. The Town
Heist film as intense as it is ambitious, The Town can rely on a 5-star cast bringing together Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Blake Lively or even Rebecca Hall. Packed with qualities, especially in terms of staging, The Town also offers an exciting dive into the heart of Boston’s White Trash underworld, already highlighted by Scorsese in The Departed (2007). Ben Affleck’s feature film is also reminiscent of a certain Michael Mann masterpiece, the mythical Heat. This is unfortunately its greatest weakness, as The Town never really manages to come out of the shadow of this model of the genre. It is nonetheless a captivating film.
45. The Revenant
A resolutely contemplative work focused on man’s relationship to his environment, The Revenant is a visually exotic experience. The work of Iñárritu and Emmanuel Lubezki (its director of historical photography) offers us superb shots and camera movements worthy of intimate documentaries. Quite simple in terms of the script, The Revenant offers us a case of revenge, carried by the unwavering faith of a man. This rather simplistic story is totally pulled up by an awesome duo: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. And in the end, The Revenant turns out to be a very solid film, which you must have seen at least once.
46. Happiness Therapy
Happiness Therapy has the great quality of treating mental health, love and human relationships with a lot of freshness and authenticity. With endearing characters and a simple but addicting storyline, this is a feature film in which it is very easy to be involved, as everything is successful. The Cooper / Lawrence duo works wonderfully, just like the supporting roles, Robert De Niro in the lead. In the end, David O. Russell ( The Fighter, American Bluff ) signs here one of the best films of his career. A film that we still take great pleasure in rediscovering 8 years later.
47. The Curious Benjamin Button Story
Adapting the work of Francis Scott Fitzgerald to the cinema is not an easy thing. Even less when it comes to a short story of about twenty pages on a man born old and aging upside down, which finds himself here transformed into an epic of 2:45. Nominated 13 times at the Oscars in 2008, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by David Fincher is nevertheless a clear success. Based in large part on the dynamics of an excellent duo Brad Pitt-Cate Blanchett, this story-telling film offers a fascinating reflection on the love of a lifetime and the passage of time. Delicate in tone and always fair in its treatment, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an excellent moment of cinema.
48. Phantom Thread
Even beyond its quality, Phantom Thread is an event in itself: it is the last film in the career of legendary actor Daniel Day Lewis, three-time Oscar winner for best actor. The latter has indeed bowed out since. For its part, Phantom Thread tells the story of renowned English fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock, a hardened bachelor obsessed with his work. His meeting with Alma (the excellent Vicky Krieps) will shake up his routine and offer him a vital muse in his creation.
With great mastery, the film deals with obsession in many forms and takes us into an exceptional atmosphere of immersion, in bourgeois London of the 1950s. With this eighth film, the maestro Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, The Master …) confirms a little more his place of choice among the best directors of his generation.
49. Ninja Turtles
The city of New York lives in fear: the terrible clan of Foot, under the thumb of the infamous Shredder, multiplies the abuses. Criminals recently attempted to steal chemicals stored in the city’s port area. But, under the eyes of intrepid journalist April O’Neil, they were defeated by mysterious masked vigilantes. The young woman tries to explain to her colleague Vernon and his management, just as incredulous, what she saw. Shortly after, she discovers that the vigilantes are in fact four and that they are turtles, of human size, gifted with the word, practicing karate and followers of pizzas and urban music.
50. Jumanji
During a game of Jumanji, young Alan is magically sent to a strange land. He will only be able to escape when another player takes over and frees him! Twenty-six years later, two children discover the game and start a game.
