Movies It Feels Like Literally Everyone Has Seen

Some movies are destined to be ubiquitous. They break free from the silver screen, sometimes performing, sometimes underperforming, and firmly implant themselves in our cultural zeitgeist, becoming a shared connection across generations. They typically feature accessible, timeless themes that resonate broadly or kick off new traditions of storytelling.

The Godfather is a Sicilian mafia epic that follows the Corleone family and their saga of loyalty, betrayal, and deadly violence. Jurassic Park takes the audience on an exhilarating journey with dinosaurs brought back to life using genetic engineering on a remote island resort.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone introduces the boy who lived and the life-changing discovery that he is a wizard at Hogwarts. The Shining tracks an isolated hotel that slowly drives a family mad, filled with iconic imagery and Jack Nicholson’s unforgettable performance.
