By Derek Krayenhagen\u2014Some students don\u2019t travel to Cancun or Cocoa Beach for Spring Break but instead go home and enjoy family time. Needless to day, they will probably have some downtime. Here are ten movies that will help fill up some of that time.<\/p>\n
10. Gladiator (2000) \u2013 A movie easily worth watching. Gladiator offers more than just an action movie for men but also a great storyline for all. You will also get to learn one of the more famous movie lines of all time, \u201care you not entertained!\u201d<\/p>\n
9. The Departed (2006) \u2013 A star studded cast including Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Leonardo DiCaprio is enough to get you to watch. The intricate storyline keeps you involved and entertained throughout and the ending will have you saying, \u201cWhat just happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
8. No list would be complete without a great Disney\/Pixar movie to watch. This is a viewer\u2019s choice pick. I would suggest one of the four though: The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, or Up. All are great to watch and enjoy. No bad choices here.<\/p>\n
7. Gone Girl (2014) \u2013 Gone Girl will leave you speechless, literally. If you haven\u2019t seen it then this will be higher on the list. A crazy thriller that leaves you guessing throughout, Gone Girl has it all, including Ben Affleck.<\/p>\n
6. The Big Lebowski (1998) \u2013 After all the drama and thriller movies I\u2019ve added, it\u2019s time for a laugh. The Big Lebowski offers you a laugh with an interesting plot as well. Never will you take anything so seriously after watching the \u201cDude\u201d and the Big Lebowski. \u201cLike chill out, man.\u201d<\/p>\n
5. Ferris Buehlers Day Off (1986) \u2013 One of my personal favorite, Ferris and his friends ditch school and have a day to remember. A young Matthew Broderick shows off his acting chops and we all get to relive the day off from school we always wanted.<\/p>\n
4. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) \u2013 \u201cThe Shank\u201d is listed as IMBD\u2019s number one rated movie of all time, of course that alone makes me put it on the list. An interesting plot and great set of characters allows \u201cThe Shank\u201d to take home the number one spot. If you\u2019ve seen it, you will understand why it\u2019s on the list, if you haven\u2019t, you\u2019ll thank me for introducing it to you.<\/p>\n
3. Pick a Tarantino film here. I may be biased but Quentin Tarantino never seems to disappoint. His movies are definitely not for everyone but they are definitely worth a watch. Recommendations would include: Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, or Inglorious Bastards. I promise you this; you have never seen a movie quite like Tarantino\u2019s<\/p>\n
2. The Dark Knight (2008) \u2013 By now most of us have seen this blockbuster, so most know just how great \u201cthe Dark Knight\u201d truly is. The movie that put Batman back on the map is always worth watching. The story displays the most realistic depiction of Gotham\u2019s famed hero, plus Heath Ledger, as the Joker is pure gold. Ledger steals the movie and displays acting chops we all wish we could still see to this day.<\/p>\n
1. Your \u201cguilty pleasure\u201d movie. Movies that whenever it\u2019s on TV you watch it. No list would be complete without one of these. For me this movie has to be \u201cHitch.\u201d Will Smith as a love \u201cguru\u201d and Kevin James as a hopeless romantic gets me every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
