Why MoviePedia Exists

I’ve been obsessed with movies my whole life.

Not just watching them — studying them, writing about them, loving them, and letting them guide me through joy, heartbreak, and everything in between.

I’ve seen thousands upon thousands of films — from every corner of the world and every era. Some I’ve watched more times than I can count. I don’t just remember plots — I remember shots, lines of dialogue that hit like lightning, and moments that cracked something open inside me and made me see the world differently.

I couldn't help but share this obsession with everyone around me, and people began to realise that I was a walking encyclopaedia of cinema. They’d come to me — not just asking what to watch, but asking for the right film for how they felt.

And I never just gave a title. I always tried to give a reason — a film that could shine light on a moment in their life, speak to something unspoken, or gently shift the way they saw things.

That’s how MoviePedia was born.

It began as a private passion project — The List I always carried in my head. A curated, ever-evolving map of films that matter. And now, I’m sharing it.

This isn’t about trends or ratings. It’s about meaning, mastery and magic.

Every film here is handpicked and scored across seven categories I believe capture the essence of great cinema: Acting, Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Music/Sound, Script/Story, and the presence of a deeper message or meaning. Most important of all, each one comes with a Reason to Watch — a personal insight into why this film is special, and why it might just change something in you, too.

For some films, I go further — offering full-length analyses that unpack the visual, emotional, and symbolic layers beneath the surface, drawing on my background in film studies and aesthetic philosophy.

MoviePedia is for those who believe cinema is our modern mythology —
a place where ancient truths are told in new forms. Not just stories on a screen, but timeless wisdom carried in light and sound. 

And if that’s you… welcome home.
