Subject: movies

just as mike started the post about current CD interests, i would like to do the same with movies. so the deal is the same. five of your current favorite movies.

1. unbreakable (saw it in the theatre long time ago when it first came out. this was back when i didn't really appreciate movies much. didn't think much of it. then saw it again a few days ago. i am what you might call a "movie buff" now, nothing compared to marty, but i really get into them now. long story short, unbreakable is fastly becoming one of my favorite movies. saw it at mike's house, then bought it the next day)
2. beauty and the beast (i'm on a disney kick right now)
3. two towers/fellowship of the ring
4. mortal kombat 1 and 2 (cheesy and fake in some parts, but still really good i think)
5. american history x (there are a bunch of movies i could have put here, but i picked the one that seemed to affect me the most. i really like this movie's message about racism. hate is baggage)
other movies that almost made this list:
shashank redemtion, star wars, minority report, matrix, gladiator, x-men 2

thats all for now. see you guys later, and happy posting!

p.s. if you are into magic the gathering, there are some really cool articles about the role of the colors and the 5 color wheel availble to read. they have done three of them, blue, white and green. very interesting. www.magicthegathering.com
check it out.

These are my all-time favorite movies, not ones I like right now.
1. Fargo (Absolutely the epitome of movie greatness. Everything seems perfect.)
2. The Godfather/The Godfather II (I find it impossble to seperate these two. However, I like The Godfather more.)
3. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Another Coen brothers gem. Funny stuff.)
4. Gosford Park (One of the best ensemble casts you will see.)
5. Dr. Strangelove (Very good dialogue and perfomrances)

Honorabe mentions: Any other Coen brothers film (The Big Lebowski, Barton Fink, Blood Simple, Raising Arizona)
Any Stanley Kubrick film (A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, 2001: A Space Odyssey)
American Beauty, Snatch, American Psycho, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs.
I can't think of them all, I feel like I would be cheating a movie that I don't list here. Here's a link to my DVD collection. Ignoring any of the TV shows and Little Nicky and Eyes Wide Shut, those are my favorite movies.

ok kids, 5 favorites:

1. Unbreakable

There is a ton of others, maybe I'll list some more later, I love movies: Sci-fi, Comedy, Drama, whatever, and I watch a ton of them. I think the five I listed are the ones of the many that I like that I've seen the most and don't get sick of.
