First Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
With the coming of a New Year it’s always been tempting to make a best movie list. But I have a hard time. Which is the best of all. I think many on my list could easily be top movie. The only reason The Crow made it number is, for many years back. Every Halloween I would watch The Crow at midnight. I really love it. So I asked myself what movie would I see again. Actually in my list I have seen each movie many times some more than others. You really have something dear to you when you can tolerate watching the same movie over again. Looking at this list I get the feeling I really have a thing for movies. HaHa! It would have been easy to make a top 100 list to include many more flicks I love. To make it a challenge I kept to only the top 50. It’s up for debate for sure. Being the sentimental guy I had to squeeze Fast Times at Ridgemond High. It was hard not to put the Matrix number one. You see my problem each movie has a special place in my heart. Enter the Dragon has got to be one of the best films ever. Bruce Lee forever Martial Arts Icon. Some movies perhaps not well known really hit me of what is special about movies. Films like Collateral, Road to Perdition, Black Book and A River Runs Through to name a few. I dream that 2012 means an opportunity to discover great new movies.
