Movies and TV series have always been part of my life, whether I watched them for entertainment, with my family, or simply because I became interested in the story.
As I grew older, I started noticing how certain stories, characters, music, and performances could stay with me even after I finished watching them.
My list is a mix of movies, anime, and K-dramas because I do not only enjoy one type of story. Some of these made me emotional, some entertained me, and others simply became something I enjoyed watching and remembering.
Looking at this list, I realized that the stories that stay with me are not necessarily from the same genre.
I can enjoy a serious drama like The Green Mile, get invested in an anime like Hunter × Hunter, and then watch something completely different like School of Rock.
For me, that is what makes watching films and shows interesting.
Every story can give me a different experience, whether it makes me laugh, think, feel emotional, or simply enjoy the time I spend watching it.
The table shown below are my top 10 film that I would recommend and personally like and a little review.
| Film/Show | Year | Genre | Why it Left an Impression |

| The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas | 2008 | Drama/War | Its story gave me a different perspective on war and innocence. |
