The 84th annual Oscars are set to take place on Sunday night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and will honour the best in movies in 2011. This years award show should be great as it is every year.

There has already been plenty of controversy surrounding the Oscars and they haven't even begun. The main talk has been around Sasha Baron Cohen and the fact that the Oscar committee does not want him to attend if he plans on promoting his movie as he has done in years past for his movies such as Borat. A movie he was in, Hugo, does have many nominations and the committee would like to attend as long as he is himself and not a movie character. It is adding more entertainment to an already exciting night of television. The 2012 Oscars live stream will be online for everyone to watch as long as there is access to a computer and Internet connection.

The Top Famous Movie In The World Now

Many people go to IMDb to check the rating of the latest movies, but quite many are unaware of the list of top 250 movies based on the popularity. I took time to compile a list of top 10 movies,so that people would know which movie ranks the best and which does not! Here goes the list of top 10 most famous movies.

10. Star Wars V- The Empires Strike Back
The story of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia,Han Solo and the others didn't end with the dusk of the Death Star - it goes on in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Imperial forces have since driven the Rebels to hide on the ice world Hoth. But even on such an icy, backwater world, they cannot escape the wicked Darth Vader's eye for long, and he destroys the Rebel base in an assault with the horrible AT-AT walkers. Luke flees to Dagobah to begin Jedi Knight training with Yoda, while Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and C-3PO run the blockade of Imperial Star Destroyers in the Millenium Falcon. The Imperials pursue them across the galaxy and eventually catch up with them at Bespin. Now Darth Vader plans to use them as bait to lure Luke Skywalker to him, and turns Han Solo over to Boba Fett as a prize to be delivered to crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Luke learns a terrible family secret after losing a swordfight with Vader. Will he - and the others - escape the Empire's clutches? You should watch and find out!
9. 12 Angry Men
This movie stands as 9th among the top 10 most famous movies. The title of the movie might suggest to you that the movie might be about a team of 12 angry soldiers barging through enemy barriers. Its not! Instead "12 Angry Men" is based on a jury's deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12 year old Latin boy is accused of murdering his father with a knife, and is on the verge of being announced a death sentence, and the jury of 12 members is asked to deliberate on the issue. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only one casts a not guilty vote. As the deliberations unfold, the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors' complex personalities (which range from wise, bright and empathetic to arrogant, prejudiced and merciless), preconceptions, backgrounds and interactions. That provides the backdrop to Mr. Davis' attempts in convincing the other jurors that a "not guilty" verdict might be appropriate.
8. One Flew over the cuckoo's nest
This stands at 8th spot among the top 10 most famous movies. Jack Nicholson performing as McMurphy has in his account many assault convictions. The most recent of his lands him into the jail. He is now convicted of rape of his own girlfriend, after he finds out that she lied about her being 18, but in fact was 15. Inside jail he starts acting crazy and starts convincing the guards that he has become mad and was in need of psychiatric care. He becomes successful in his efforts and gets transferred to a mental asylum. Once inside, begins the real movie. He is confronted with a hostile nurse who is behind him at his every move, and his insane point of views actually starts making progress in many of the patients.
7. Schindler's List
This film stands 7th among the top 10 most famous movies. Don't let the black and white wallpapers fool you; as the movie once watched will leave its impact on you for a very long time. I still wonder how this movie was not placed still higher in list. The key role is of Oskar Schindler (Neeson) who is a greedy businessman, who wants to expand his business to the army and supply them with vessels and ammunition. While doing so, he unexpectedly starts turning humble towards the Jews getting killed in the concentration camp. Thus he starts making a list of people who then are called upon to work in his factory. Movie is not worth letting go. Do watch it; if you don't have a reason yet, we have one for you; it's directed by Steven Spielberg.
6. The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is a sequel to the The Batman Begins and this stand as 6th among the top 10 most famous movies, it has done a wonderful job climbing up the top 250 movies ladder in the IMDB. Heath Ledger's acting in this movie is unmatched. The director has left no reason for you not to be scared of him. Every time he appears on the screen, there is a dead cold music in the background. Batman now has to face his wrath and make sure that Joker does not kill anymore civilians or innocents. The rating zoomed past all the pillars which stood for long time on the top 250 list, just because of the quality of the acting done by these people. There is no reason why you should not watch this movie.
5. Pulp Fiction
This movie holds 5th position among the top 10 most famous movies. Marsellus Wallace is the boss for Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield who has stolen their suitcase. Vincent is given the duty of Wallace's wife Mia, as the boss will be out of home for a while. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his next fight. Samuel and Travolta get into a violent and yet strangely humorous conversation. Movie includes few most violent possible scenes, wherein Travolta accidentally fires a bullet into a boy sitting in backseat; and how these two guys clean up the car in their friend's home. Instead of empathizing on the victim, we actually start laughing on their humor. This movie strangely captivates and glues us to the chair. Do not miss it.
4. Buono, il brutto, il cattivo., Il
Good bad and Ugly stand at 4th at the list of top 10 most famous movies. Filmed in 1966, the movie revolves around the 3 guys; Blondie (The Good) is a professional gunslinger who is out trying to earn a few dollars. Angel Eyes (The Bad) is a hit man and does the job whenever he is asked to, as long as he is paid to do so and Tuco (The Ugly) is a wanted in the city and is trying to hide. Blondie and Tuco share a partnership together making money off Tuco's bounty. Tuco tries to hunt down Blondie when he unties the partnership. When Blondie and Tuco come across a horse carriage loaded with dead bodies, they soon learn from the only survivor (Bill Carson) that he and a few other men have buried a stash of gold in a cemetery. Unfortunately Carson dies and Tuco only finds out the name of the cemetery, while Blondie finds out the name on the grave. Now the two must keep each other alive in order to find the gold. Angel Eyes (who had been looking for Bill Carson) discovers that Tuco and Blondie meet with Carson and knows they know the location of the gold. All he needs is for the two to lead him to it. And the fight for gold begins!
3. The Godfather: Part II
Is on top 3 of top 10 most famous movies. Don't ask me why; probably people love mafias. This is the sequel to The Godfather. It covers the tragedy and story of Vito in his adulthood. Then the movie shifts towards Micheal; Vito's son, who tries to expand his family business to Hollywood, Las Vegas and Cuba. It's better if you watch the Godfather before you get this movie in your collection. But dare not to miss this. This comes as 3rd of imdb ten things.
2. The Godfather
No.2 in the top 10 most famous movies, is The Godfather of 1972. The movie is all about the Family, Don is not ready to shed is old ways of working and ensuring the stability of mafia business. But then comes the guy who is determined to sell drugs out in the city. Don's son who has returned from the war wants to lead a normal life with his family. Then the rival drug seller seeks protection from the DON, which the DON feels is against morals and denies. The rival then conspires and gets Don shot; but Vito survives, and the incident pushes his son to become violent and rage war against the rival. Do not miss this action packed drama.
1. The Shawshank Redemption
Still at No.1 in top 10 most famous movies is the Shawshank Redemption. Tim Robbins gets thrown into Shawshank for a life term under the charges of his wife's murder. Here he comes across Red (Morgan Freeman) and develops a bond of friendship. Andy (Tim Robbins) goes through all kinds of torture within the prison, and yet importantly retains the hope that one day he'll be out as a free man. The story continues and shows us how he plans along with Red, an escape which almost takes a quarter of his life. The movie highlights the persistence and patience that is required in a person. Does he escape? Movie is worth watching; you should find out yourself.
