LOOK: CHILLAX WITH ONE TEXAN'S 5 FAVORITE MOVIES TO BINGE-WATCH
The Shining
Starting things off with a classic, 'The Shining' is a masterpiece in horror. Directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on Stephen King's novel, it's a chilling story of a family isolated in an eerie hotel with a crazy past. Jack Nicholson's performance is unforgettable, and the suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Roadhouse
Now for a change of pace with 'Roadhouse'. This is a high-octane action film starring Patrick Swayze as a cool bouncer hired to clean up one of the rowdiest, loudest bars in Missouri. It's filled with epic fight scenes and some awesome one-liners.
Point Break
Keeping up with the action theme, 'Point Break' is an absolute thrill ride. Keanu Reeves stars as an undercover FBI agent who joins a group of surfing bank robbers led by Bodhi, played by Patrick Swayze. It's exciting, fast-paced, and has some of the best surfing scenes in film.
The Green Mile
This is a deeply moving film set on death row. Based on Stephen King's novel, it stars Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan in unforgettable roles. It’s a story that's as heart-wrenching as it is beautiful.
The Shawshank Redemption
Lastly, 'The Shawshank Redemption' is an absolute must-watch. It’s a story of hope and friendship inside a maximum-security prison. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman deliver fantastic performances that make this film a timeless classic.
There you have it – my top movie picks for a weekend binge. Whether you're into something spooky from the haunting halls of 'The Shining' or an inspiring story like 'The Shawshank Redemption', you'll have a great time with these. Grab some popcorn, get comfy, and enjoy.
