Shall we blow them to pieces, shoot them repeatedly, or give them flowers?
It occurred to me the other day while chatting with friends around the world, that I am one of a few people who actually have diversity in the movies they watch.
Some people watch a movie for special effects, some for romance, some for plot, some simply for the mental stimulation of watching a story unfold.
I don't really know why I watch movies, but my range of favorites is quite diverse. Now, an example, with just a few of my favorites.
Band of Brothers: Television miniseries about E Company in World War 2. Way too much cussing, and watch out for part 9, it has a "scene" (as my Mom calls them) in it.
Rio Bravo: A John Wayne movie with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. You just can't beat Ricky Nelson throwing dynamite to John Wayne.
Actually, you can, but it has to be Lion King.
Lion King 1 & 2: For some completely unexplainable reason, these are two of my all-time favorite movies.
While we're at cartoons, one of my other all-time favorites is The Swan Princess.
The Swan Princess 1: I loved it. When we originally got it, we got the special edition with the 30 minute "Making of" documentary. Wonderful movie, but the sequel was terrible.
Sense and Sensability: This movie is one of the best I've ever seen, and I'm inspired every time I watch it.
Anne of Green Gables: This movie had terrible acting, but the rest of it was awesome. This is probably the only movie I'm ashamed for having enjoyed. I haven't seen the sequel(s?), but Kelly Reins tells me it is equally enjoyable.
Conspiracy Theory: Starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. This movie's absolute incredibleness cannot be described in human words!! I LOVE this movie. I have watched it only twice, but it is AWESOME!!
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Great Story, Enough Said.
Terminator 2: Very strange addiction. I don't really recommend it though, due to the unreasonably high amounts of cussing. The soundtrack was excellent though.
That is just a very brief list, and I'll eventually get more detailed, but right now it's as good as it's gonna get.
What are your favorite movies?
Enjoy!
