You're Not A True Keanu Reeves Fan Unless You Can Quote These 10 Movies
Marybel Le Pape

If you know me at all, you know that I absolutely love Keanu Reeves. He is by far one of my favorite actors, and if you have seen some of his best work, surely you would agree. From huge hits like The Matrix to lesser-known but still beautiful pieces like A Walk in the Clouds, here are my top 10 Keanu Reeves movies that I truly believe everyone should see.

1. The Matrix

If you haven’t seen The Matrix trilogy yet, you are truly missing out. They are my favorite movies so I might be a bit biased, but even Keanu’s harshest critics are a fan of the films and of the way he portrayed his character Neo.

2. Speed

This ’90s blockbuster is another must-see movie. I suppose that’s the case for most of Keanu’s work, but it is especially so for Speed. After all, this was the movies that most notably gave Keanu the world-renowned status that he deserves.

3. Point Break

Keanu Reeves surfing? Yes, please! This is one of Keanu’s earliest hits, and with his police officer/ surfer combo, it’s not hard to see why.

4. John Wick


This action movie, on the other hand, is a much more recent film. It turned out to be one of his most highly acclaimed movies in years, and the sequel was just as much of a success.

5. A Walk in the Clouds


Unlike all of Keanu’s many action-filled movie, this romantic comedy highlights his more tender side. Believe me-- I’m all for it.

6. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

This comedy put young Keanu’s name out there. Filled with silly humor, the movie and its sequel will have you laughing and wanting more. You might actually get more, for that matter- Keanu has said that a part three is in the works!

7. 47 Ronin

Another of Keanu's most recent work, this is a beautiful film telling a beautiful and powerful story.

8. The Lake House

Did you like Keanu and Sandra Bullock together in Speed? If so, this film is for you. It's not another action thriller, but this romantic comedy is a touching one to remember.

9.The Day the Earth Stood Still

I don't care what the critics say- Keanu did a great job. Take my word for it. That is all...

10. The Devil’s Advocate

Take a moment to appreciate the fact that Keanu cut millions of dollars off his salary so the producers could afford Al Pacino. He's truly admirable. Al Pacino or not, I am glad that Keanu stayed in the film.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
