tv releases www.bahrainthismonth.com 86 September 2022 Bring on With the summer being a fallow period for new streaming content as the world enjoys the nice weather outside (or unfortunately in our case, forced to live with the air conditioning inside), we thought we’d put our regular monthly roundup on pause and look back at the very best movies and TV shows of the last 25 years. Are there any of these you’ve missed? theNostalgia MOVIES The Lord of the Rings How could we start with anything else? The cultural phenomenon which made fantasy cool again is arguably the greatest trilogy of all time, so much so that we couldn’t list each of the (brilliant) films individually and instead lumped them into one. Make sure you catch the story of a meek Hobbit from the Shire and his eight companions who set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron. The Green Mile If you claim you got through this movie without shedding a tear, you’re lying. Based on Stephen King›s 1996 novel of the same name, the film stars Tom Hanks as a death row corrections officer during the U.S. Great Depression who witnesses supernatural events that occur after an enigmatic inmate (Michael Clarke Duncan) is brought to his facility. Titanic James Cameron›s Titanic is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era – the ‘ship of dreams’ – which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912. There Will Be Blood Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview (Daniel DayLewis) moves to oil-rich California. Using his adopted son to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) suspects Plainview’s motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.
