A: Questions, today, are discouraged. And to grow, we must accept to ask, understand, and answer them - we must encourage them. At the end of the day, questions are often at the centre of so many stories. The simplest alternative to fix this myopia would be to be more accepting, and not take ourselves too serious. And maybe, at times, question ourselves.

Alice in Wonderland: Disney(1951)and Tim Burton(2010)

“We’re all mad here.”

Whimsical and enchanting, Alice in wonderland must be a part of every childhood, in some form or another. We’d prescribe it before vitamins! Follow her down the rabbit hole and lose yourself in the delights and fancy of a surreal world.

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Michel Gondry (2004)

“I apply my personality in a paste.”

This film is part-sci fi, part-drama, part-romance, part-comedy, and all fantastic! Gondry gently depicts a world where you can erase your memories. Follow Jim Carey’s sombreness and Kate Winslet’s hair as they lead us through the bizarre plot.

The Matrix by Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski (1999)

“I imagine that right now, you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?”

Awaken to reality with this classic film that raised the bar of sci-fi. Just be ready to question everything.

Back to the Future by Robert Zemeckis (1985)

“The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some *style?*”

Strange as a funny sci-fi may seem, this film executes it brilliantly and has been a favourite for generations. Inventive and exciting, director Robert Zemeckis lets his audience fly through time with Marty McFly.

The Butterfly Effect by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber (2004)

“You can’t play God, son.”

This invigorating whirlwind of a film both makes you think hard about choices and entertains at the same time. The film is haunting, dark and brilliant- everything we like in a movie to be honest!

Minority Report by Steven Spielberg (2002)

“Dig up the past, all you get is dirty.”

Spielberg deals cleverly in this film with the way the future connects to present life. Engrossing, stirring and scary, the 2002 film is a prototype of stellar directing and thoughtful ideas. Also watch

Groundhog Day by Harold Ramis (1993)

“Do you ever have déjà vu?”

Celebrate the weather-forecasting tradition (where a groundhog determines whether locals will see spring or more winter) in this twisted tale where a reporter sent to cover the event lives the same day over and over again. Feel your cynicism and irritability melt away, watching Bill Murray being loveable as ever could be.

A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern (2006)

“There’s only one thing worse than not being able to find someone, and that’s not being found.”

No, don’t judge the book by the writer. Trust us and lose yourself in one of the many make-believe worlds of Cecilia Ahern. A brilliant concept, of a world that holds everything you lose (think of the socks!), and an even better execution makes this a fascinating read.
