Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where each Thursday you have to pick three films to match the week's topic.
This week's picks have to involve cults or secret societies. Cool, isn't it? Cults are a bit dark, bad thing happening, and great films I've already picked, so I decided to focus on secret societies. And it didn't even have me thinking a lot because these 3 films popped into my mind immediately.
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
The owner of the Grand Budapest Hotel tells a writer the tale of how he took ownership of the hotel and why he doesn't want to close it. Even though it doesn't scream "secret society" there's one involved, and it's the Society of Golden Keys and pretty much the reason the hotel works so well. Oh, and the movie is a colorful masterpiece starring a brilliant Ralph Fiennes that was robbed of an Oscar nomination.
Fight Club (1999)
An insomniac office worker crosses paths with a man that is exactly who he wants to be and with his new friend he creates a fight club. I should have never picked this film because I'm breaking the first and second rule, do not talk about fight club, but this film is too good to not be picked. This movie is simply perfect.
Men in Black (1997)
Agent K and Agent J, two members of an organization that keeps track of extraterrestrial aliens on Earth, investigate a newcomer who isn't bringing good news. This is probably the coolest secret society ever. They deal with aliens and are armed with spectacular technology, impossible to top that. Sure, it's not a serious film, but it's fun.
