Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl is a fantasy swashbuckler film that marked the beginning of the Pirates of The Caribbean franchise. The story here is this - a blacksmith by the name of Will Turner teams up with a kooky pirate to save the love of his life that was kidnapped by the former allies of the said pirate. The allies, however, are now undead, and that's where all the fun begins. There's so much happening in The Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl that it might be hard to grasp the plot at times, but it is still a fun ride and an exceptionally entertaining movie through and through.

So here, the main man is still the notorious Captain Jack Sparrow, and now he must race to recover the heart of Davy Jones so as not to become enslaved to his soul.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a coming-of-age drama based on Peter Hedges's 1991 novel of the same name. The story follows 25-year-old Gilbert, who works as a grocery store clerk and takes care of his obese mother and intellectually disabled younger brother, so ingeniously played here by young Leonardo. What's Eating Gilbert Grape might seem a bit sentimental at times, but it doesn't lessen the feel of it being a real-as-life story elevated to new heights by completely stellar performances of its cast.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a musical slasher film (well, here's a combo we're seeing for the first time!) that's an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's 1979 musical of the same name. Which, in turn, is a retelling of a dramatic Victorian tale about a barber/serial killer Sweeney Todd. Everything about this take on the classy horror tale gained critical acclaim - from design to acting, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is just a good movie, period.

Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End is the third, but definitely not the last installment of the franchise. As they say, though - the more, the merrier! Now it's Captain Barbossa, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann who have to sail off the edge of the map, find Jack Sparrow, and make their alliances for a decisive battle. And while this third installment in the series isn't one to boast about a very original plot, it still delivers in the department of entertainment, and hey, sometimes that's all you need!

Washington Irving's classic tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" serves as the inspiration for this 1999 movie by Tim Burton. Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the blood-curdling death of three people, the culprit being the legendary "Headless Horseman." The movie is faithful to the dream world that Irving painted and mixes horror, fantasy, and romance with an extraordinary cast of actors.

Now the notorious Captain by the name of Jack Sparrow is pursued by an old rival Captain Salazar and his crew of ghosts.

So, expect the story to get pretty dark here!

So you just know it's going to be exciting and gripping! Johnny Depp's stellar performance as George elevates the story to new heights, and although critics think it to be a been-there-done-that kind of movie, any crazy cocaine smuggler story is always exciting to watch.
