Reflections of The Heart

Blame Kara

Posted by: johnnahood on: November 29, 2008

So the challenge:
1. List your top ten favorite films in no particular order.
2. If you’re tagged, post your list and tag 3-5 other people.
3. Link back to the person who tagged you.
4. Give a hat tip (HT) to Dan.

1.  I don’t know how to tag people or link back (well I’m sure I used to but I don’t want to think about it right now)

2.  This has to be the 2nd hardest top 10 list ever (beaten only by top 10 songs of all time) but I’ll give it my best shot

3.  See Kara’s site (link on side) she’s who tagged me and I love her list too :o )  I’m pretty much going to use her criteria for this list though take it a step further…she said she could watch her list over and over…I could watch my list EVERY DAY and never get sick of them.

ok so my top 10 in no particular order

1.  Princess Diaries 2…She gets the “prince”, manages to still look beautiful AND change the law to abolish the “Princesses must marry before they can become queen” rule…I love it…could watch it over and over and over and over

2. LOTR trilogy…prolly…no definitely actually #1 if I had to say favorite movie of all time (and yes I have to include all of them as one b/c quite frankly it’s one movie it’s just a long one…it makes no impact and little sense without all of them so it’s one movie darn it).  People in a nutshell.

3.  Under the Tuscan Sun…I know I’m stealing some of Kara’s stuff but see post from this summer as to why this movie means sooooooo much to me and has such and impact…I LOVE it

4.  A Charlie Brown Christmas…Linus drops the security blanket for his FABULOUS rendition of the meaning of Christmas…nuff said

5.  Scrooge (the musical)…I love musicals and I love pretty much any rendition of A Christmas Carol…combine the two and it’s perfect

6.  The Quiet Man…while I love McLintock as well…I enjoy this John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara flick better than the Western…Ireland…small town…sassy heroine…stubborn hero…sparks fly…tempers flare…the whole town gets involved…Funny stuff :o )  Also reminds me of Sunday morning tv time with Daddy…That and any of his war flicks…not a war flick girl…but love John Waynes war flicks :o )

7.  The Three Musketeers (disney version with charlie sheen, keifer sutherland, oliver platt and chris o’donnell)…If you haven’t seen it…stop reading RIGHT now and go rent it…best version ever…FUNNNNNNNNY…Love it…classic 90’s adventure flick (including a GREAT soundtrack):o) which leads us toooooooo Robin Hood Prince of Theives which didn’t make the list by a HAIR behind Three Musketeers…RHPoT is a bit more serious and I love my humor but I can’t express how much I love this film…for nostalgic great times with Tracey…for the underlying themes and lessons it teaches…for the fabulous love song from Bryan Adams, oh and Kevin Costner wasn’t too bad looking either ;o)

8.  The American President…Michael Douglas is the best movie Pres ever….seriously…and Annette Benning????? OMG love her!  But my fav part is the speech at the end…I’ve posted about it before and I can’t over emphasize the fact that that minute and a half speech is what America is all about!  Love it!

9.  Dark Knight…I love superhero movies but it’s pretty hard to “wow” me on them (i.e. the Xmen trilogy…loved all three but still had nitpicky issues about them and how they portrayed their characters etc) but I LOVED Dark Knight…no complaints at all about anything…thought the whole evil for no reason theme was fabulous loved several lines…simply loved it

10.  Twister…I LOVE LOVE LOVE disaster movies like ID4, Day After Tomorrow, 10.5, etc…I know that probably makes me weird or something but really I love them…Twister has special meaning for me but beyond that I love it for it’s soundtrack, humor, happy ending…it makes me happy :o )

So anywho there’s my list which took me forever to come up with…not because I wanted to add a lot more, but b/c with my criteria I had a hard time coming up with movies I truly could watch every day without hating them after a while :o

Love and peace out!
