My Favorite Movies

Back to the Future 1985,  PG)
Back to the Future
BTF is one of my all time favorite movies. I can see a lower star rating than what I've given it, after all it's not THE best movie of all time to a more objective eye, but it's one of MY best movies of all time. My g/f found it a little slow and a bit too involved...not enough stuff happening....I disagree...but can see her pov.

I can/do watch these movies over again...

Back to the Future Part III 1990,  PG)
Back to the Future Part III
Thankfully BTFIII was not made to "finish the franchise", it was done quit well.

BTF I-III are one of the few trilogies that don't fall out. To me #2 faultered a little but #3 was able to pick it back up. Not as good as the first of course, but still worth seeing over and over.

Back to the Future Part II 1989,  PG)
Back to the Future Part II
I'm a BTF freak...I love these movies.

The second installment used to be my most favorite because of the futuristic world they percieved. Honestly though I've reverted to #1 being my fav.

Either way I love these movies and watch them over and over with the same level of enjoyment.

The Princess Bride 1987,  PG)
The Princess Bride
A classic...you can't beat this one.

It is a comedy and a love story, triumph over evil, conquering your adversaries be they physiological or external.

I love the creatures and the characters. Good for all ages. I can't say enough about this movie...it's just GREAT!

Stand by Me 1986,  R)
Stand by Me
One of THE best "coming of age" movies.

I love these kinds of movies. It tells the story (VERY WELL) of a group of boys and how they grow together. The main subject of this movie is finding a dead body...but the theme is these boys growing together and becoming closer.

The main story is there lives and how they influence each other.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 2006,  PG-13)
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Honestly the better more realistic of the trilogy.

The story line is good...of course it is lacking somewhat...it's a car movie, but for a car flick it's deeper than you'd expect. You really get to know the characters and feel with them, though you do wish for more history on some of them. You can relate to them somewhat. The movie is about them...the cars...are merely a reflection of them instead of taking on a life/personality of their own.

Overall I see why critics don't like this movie...cause it's fun, entertaining, and they don't challenge the mafia or go into detail as to how the mafia has hurt so many innocent kittens the world around...and those can stick their opinions back where they pulled them out of.

Good movie...worth seeing on the big screen.

Bruce Almighty 2003,  PG-13)
Bruce Almighty
Jim Carrey has begun to do some more serious movies...like Liar liar...and he's done them well.

I like the way God is portrayed here. You get a more realistic view of His job.

While this movie reminded me of God and His love, this is not a deeply religious movie. As a religious person I took that from the movie...if you are not so, then you would still get a kick out of the movie and you won't be overwhelmed with dogma.

My favorite scenes...I can SO relate when Bruce is just having a bad day...everything goes wrong...he's on his last legs...pleading to God to help him...and then he wrecks his car...it feels like life is like that sometimes...of course dramatic irony we realize as the audience that Bruce has caused some of his own problems...however many he has not. In the end he realizes what it takes to be honestly joyfull in your life...he resets his priorities and loves living.

Another scene...to me it speaks libraries of insight to what God must feel...is when Bruce is doing everything he can to keep his love from leaving him...after talking and using words fails...he jumps onto a table, holds out his hands and begs...
"love me love me love love me"
It doesn't work...free will...no matter how much God wants us to love Him and no matter how many signs and knowledge He gives...some will still choose not to.

Austin Powers in Goldmember 2002,  PG-13)
Austin Powers in Goldmember
I love Austin Powers...while Mike Myers's characters are arguably...strangely familiar to old sat. night skits...I get more than a little kick out of it.

For me this was one of the better movies in the trilogy...I seem to dislike the second installments but love 1 and 3 when it comes to trilogies.

The movie leave us hoping for a sequel but at the same time...the set designs and other little things make us wonder if that will ever happen. I think the series is dieing down and some of that can be seen...

Over all it's funny...packed full of slap-stick comedy...if you like that kind you'll love it...if you don't...you'll hate it.

The Fast and the Furious 2001,  PG-13)
The Fast and the Furious
A good movie for car guys...to pick apart piece by piece going...they really don't know what they're talking about...case in point...double clutching is a practice for older cars without synchornizers...and it's done on decel not accel...

Any way if you can see past the incorrect car information that is rampant throughout and only pay attention to the storyline, you'll get a kick out of it. It's pretty good though I prefer the 3rd installments storyline over this one. It's still a good movie and I've seen it a few times.

History of the World -- Part I 1981,  R)
History of the World -- Part I
Funny...typical Mel Brooks.

It isn't a very slow movie...not to be watched with my parents for sure...or my g/f's parents.

It's funny...there is NO part II...sucks

Liar Liar 1997,  PG-13)
Liar Liar
Great movie...funny...I love it
12
The Terminator 1984,  R)
The Terminator
ok...the film is shot badly...the acting is horrible...the special effect suck...for goodness sake look at the movie poster...that's about how the filming is throughout...

But it's become one of my classics...my favs...if you watched T2 and liked it then watch this one...you'll get more understanding of the storyline.

It's good...I did like it
13
Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991,  R)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
GREAT MOVIE...good filming quality...good special effects...just GREAT overall...I've seen in numerous times...

The best of the trilogy
