Top 10 Lists -- Movies

Ok, since I now have a blog I thought I should post some Top 10 Lists, purely for conversation.

I will start with Movies since everyone seems to have at least 1 favorite.

Some of these are obviously franchises themselves but I like to think of them each as one complete "movie" since they really encompass one entire story.

10. Forrest Gump
A marvelous tale of what an innocent unselfish mind is thinking. T Hanks truly sells the character and the numerous cameos make it fun to track through time.

9. Wizard of Oz
Amazing special effects for its' time and the music is known around the world. The teamwork from the 4 main characters obviously inspired many movies to follow.

8. Holy Grail
Monty Python hit the nail on the head with this humorous look at Camelot and you can't shake a dead cat without knowing someone that can recite almost the entire dialogue.

7. The Matrix
A revolution in film making and of course introduced us to the bullet effect. What were they thinking with #2 and 3?

6. Pulp Fiction
Tarantino's masterpiece and the intertwining story lines were each alone very captivating.

5. Saving Private Ryan
To me, the best war movie of all time. How can you not feel a little patriotic after the realistic opening sequence?

4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
The first movie my parents actually owned, on Beta Max no less.

3. Braveheart
Mel Gibson truly sold the idea that one person can make a difference.

2. Star Wars
Episode 4 launched a billion dollar franchise and still remains my favorite.

1. Lord of the Rings
'Nuff Said
