Have you ever heard of a dream within a dream? How about a dream, within a dream, within a dream? Don’t worry, not a lot of people have heard of this either. However, this didn’t stop Christopher Nolan (the Director of The Dark Knight) from producing one of the best movies of all time- Inception. To put simply, this movie will leave your head spinning until the very end and most people would agree that it is in a class of its own. The acting is incredible (Leonardo DiCaprio plays the lead role) and the overall plot is genius. Prepare to be intrigued for almost two hours if you decide to watch Inception.

Leonardo’s character, Jack Dawson is in love with Kate’s character (Rose) even though he is broke and had managed to make it onboard the Titanic by winning his ticket in a hand of poker. The movie is relatively long (close to three hours) and is a must-watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
1. Avatar
Avatar made its way onto number of the list for the simple reason that it is the highest grossing movie of all time. Let’s not also forget that it was directed by James Cameron (the director of Titanic). The movie is basically about a paraplegic man named Jake Sully, who lands on a moon called “Pandora”. His mission on the planet later becomes torn as he falls in love with one of the females of a local alien tribe. This movie is unforgettable for the simple fact that Cameron brings us into another world. The acting is amazing and you’ll be glued to your seat throughout the length of the film.
