MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS

"Romantic art is the fuel and the spark plug of a man's soul; its task is to set a soul on fire and never let it go out." Ayn Rand

Romantic realism, or romanticism, is a school of art that depicts man with free will. It shows man overcoming challenges in pursuit of his goals - e.g., truth, justice, love, happiness, success. The movies below are those which I believe best depict man, the hero, and his romantic and benevolent sense of life.
