Good movies come around once in a while. These are movies like Batman. Theyl keep you on the edge of your seat, take you into the story and allow you to become part of them, even if it is just for a second. But as soon as you leave the theater, the feeling is gone, and life continues as it should.
Then there are great movies. These are the types of movies that keep you coming back to the movie theater for a second or third time, and these movies make you wish that the what you saw truly existed or truly happened. This movie stays with you long after the ending credits have finished, and you sometimes stay up at night dreaming of you saw, felt or experienced, trying to clinch onto the drifting memories of what amounted to an incredible experience. Disney had a string of great movies, the last of which I saw was Finding Nemo.
And then, maybe once every three years, there are magical movies. These movies pull you in and and don't let go, ever. They are relentless, and jaw-dropping and you remember them for years. You find that every now and then, life will trigger an image of the movie and not the other way around. These movies are few and far between, and may be sad or happy or thought provoking, but they nevertheless spark something in the you that the you've never felt before. While watching Slumdog Millionaire, I couldn't stop thinking to myself, aren't I lucky to be alive to experience a movie like this. Not kidding. I've only felt like that in seven other scenarios- The Harry Potter series. Movies like these are testaments to human achievement, and make you believe in something more than reality. They show you life in its purest form, both simple and complex at the same time.
From the opening scene of what appears to be a torture sequence, to the closing scene of a typical Bollywood dance, Slum Dog Millionare is nothing short of exceptional. Movies like these rarely come around, and I think the last magical movie that I witnessed was Finding Neverland, and before that, Cinema Paradiso, and before that Titanic and The Lion King. That covers the last magial movies that I've seen in the last ten year. I haven't seen a movie that I've enjoyed so much in a long time. Even as I am writing this, I am still pulled into the story line that I can't let go, and even seeing the picture of Latika and Jamal triggers a memory and I have the sudden urge to watch this movie again. Like I said, I felt lucky to have experienced such an enchanting movie like Slumdog Millionaire. Words honestly cannot describe my enthusiasm- it was so fresh, so unexpected, and yet so approachable that you feel somewhere around the world, these events are really happening.
Once you start watching this movie, beware, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO LET IT GO.     

My rating for this movie (I am a tough rater)- AAAAA (My first AAAAA rating ever!)
AAAAA- You're an IDIOT if you don't watch this movie!!!
