My favorite films
December 29th 2008 05:03
There are those films that you just love. The ones that you can watch over and over again and still get the same out of it the millionth time as you did the very first.
I have a few films like this. Some are by no means "greats" but they are ones that no matter what I know if I watch it I will love it, here they are (in no particular order):
1) The Lost Boys - One of the best, cheesy, vampires. Great sound track for fans of the eights and Mr Sutherland is quietly fantastically evil in it.
2) The Shawshank Redemption - Great movie I think in most peoples books. Not one moment in the movie does it let off the tension and the acting is great.
3) Dumbo - I love elephants. Dumbo is an elephant. And yes I do cry, still, when he visits his mother in "jail" and sits on her trunk and swings.... damn getting chocked up just thinking about it!!!!
4) Stand by Me - One of the first movies I ever watched and thought - gee, that is a good movie. River Phoenix is great in it as, again is Mr Sutherland.
5) The Chronicles of Riddick - I also like Pitch Black but this one I think has more action in it, it's one of the few Vin Diesel movies I actually like (I do like XXX as well).
6) Walk the Line - I love the sound track and am a fan of Mr Cash. Very well acted I think by all, including those in smaller bit parts. I took my mum to the cinema to see this movie about 4 times lol. Happy times for me those. Good one to have the bass turned up loud for!
7) Legends of the Fall - A classic in my eyes. Well written and excellently acted.
8) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - This one of the trilogy is the only one I can actually watch all the way through without fast forwarding over any (which is mainly the bits with Frodo and Sam...) But I love the action scenes and the battle at Helm's Deep. Also, of the three I think this is the closest to the book.
9) Tombstone - When this first came out on 'video' I hired every week from the video shop for a good six months (I then bought it lol). I love all of this movie, Val Kilmer is great as Doc Holliday. Great story, very well acted. 'I'm your huckleberry' hehehe.
10) The Magnificent Seven - My favorite movie. The cast, the story, the acting, the scenery, everything. Love it.

Thanks! I think alot of my favs would make it on to lists of many. But your right about Lost Boys, I think its coz it was from the 80's really, alot of movies from that time are considered "cheesy" lol.
Thanks!
