Hello there, it's Thursday Movie Picks's time, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
This week we have the typical cliché of the sci-fi and fantasy genre, the chosen one. That sole person chosen by an invisible force to stop a disaster from happening. Usually, it's saving the world from a super villain, or fighting the system. Or why not, die for everybody's sins. Oh, look, I've just described my three picks. I won't blame you if you stop reading.

Life of Brian (1979)
It follows Brian of Nazareth, an unwilling prophet who wants to free his land from the oppression of the Romans. It's basically the story of Jesus but hilarious. My-stomach-is-hurting-like-crazy hilarious. I dare you, I double dare you to watch this and not laugh, especially during that Biggus Dickus scene. A classic.
The Matrix (1999)
Computer hacker Neo joins Rebel warriors Morpheus and Trinity to fight the Matrix, a machine ruling humans, and set humanity free. It's one of the best sci-fi ever made and one of those few that actually have a deep meaning. In this case, it addresses the human obsession to create smarter and smarter machines that will eventually rule us.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Harry and his friends search for Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes (objects in which he has hidden fragments of his soul) in their effort to destroy him. I haven't seen it in a while, but I loved it. And I went with this one because the chosen one finally fulfils his destiny.
