-The American Beauty
-Million Dollar Baby
-Neighbours
-Hugo
-Argo

Khaled In Da house!
So I'm interested in movies that are based on a true stories, movies about Italian mafia and gangsters such as Goodfellas, The Godfather Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in America, I like also movies about the wild west such as The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, also movies about depressing stories such as The Shawshank Redemption and Little Miss Sunshine. and oh yes! I hate science fiction movies, it seems silly and childish to me.

Here is my list of choices from the list you gave us earlier today:
1-American History X
2-The Dark Knight
3-Shawshank Redemption
4-Training Day
5-Inception
6-Little Miss Sunshine
7-The Hangover

Teacher's note: So you hate Sci Fi . . . h-m-m-m, OK, no problem. There are only a couple on my list, but I think they are among the best. I like how this list reflects realistic intensity. I just saw American Sniper. You might like it. My brief review is at https://www.facebook.com/moviesgrowenglish. Thanks for posting.
