Top Ten Favorite Movies

I sit down, thinking I don’t need to do the writing prompt- only to end up doing the writing prompt. It is hard to choose my favorite movies. But I have several in mind. The list might be longer than just ten.

Top Gun: Maverick because I really feel like that was Tom Cruise’s masterpiece- although Vanilla Sky was pretty good too.

Sound of Music, its interesting, because the older I get, the more I get out of watching that movie. Especially the History. Well, I am a History Major, so that makes sense.

Saving Private Ryan. I remember watching that one, in the theater when it first came out. The opening scenes were just so traumatic. But in the end, it ends up being a good story.

Sweet Home Alabama I really liked that one. It was a cute film, about a girl who lives in New York who returns to her home in Alabama. After re-connecting with everyone, she marries her old lover from High School. Starring Reese Witherspoon.

The Ring is my favorite scarry movie. I like how, the film makers made it scarry without any gore, or blood. Just such a brilliant film. Some of the antics from the film have made there way into Popular culture.

The Guns Of Naverrone with Gregory Peck is another great war film. It shows a story about a little known action, to silence some German Guns.

Star Wars I love the original Star Wars movies. There were books written about what happened after. I always enjoyed reading those. Not sure what Disney was thinking, when it made its version of Star Wars, but as a series I think it worked out though, to be alright. My friend Billy introduced me, and my brother to Star Wars. I was hooked, as a child.

Jurassic Park is another one I like. Even as an adult, many of the scenes from the original are still scarry, with the lighting and everything. It was impressive, the very first time too.

Star Trek IV I am not as big of a fan of Star Trek, as I am of Star Wars. I just don’t get, most of Star Trek, is why. But each time I watch it, the fourth film is enjoyable, and it came to mind when I saw the writing prompt. Thank you, WordPress!

Chronicles Of Riddick. I really enjoyed that movie. I know, it is supposed to be an alternative to Star Wars, which it could never truly be. I love the way the film ends, even though I get a little sad when she dies. It is such a surprising ending though. Riddick goes from a fugitive, on the run. To leading a powerful “ghost” army.

Pitch Black not as much as I enjoy Riddick, but I like how you get to know some of the characters in Riddick, especially the girl, and how she helps Riddick.

The Passion of the Christ, which I saw in Perth Australia.

Also Battleship which I saw in Japan.

Well, that makes thirteen films. But I had to really think about the last two, but here it is. My top ten favorite movies.
