Star Wars is more than just a tale of good vs evil, it is a culmination about everything we love in storytelling and it has left a legacy that will last forever and ever.
- DirectorJohn LasseterStarsTom HanksTim AllenDon RicklesA cowboy doll is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as top toy in a boy's bedroom.Truly, this is an amazing movie that was not only groundbreaking for its time but it still manages to be an endearing movie even after decades have passed. It's fun, it's charming and it's probably my favorite Pixar movie.
- DirectorJames AlgarSamuel ArmstrongFord Beebe Jr.StarsLeopold StokowskiDeems TaylorThe Philadelphia OrchestraA series of eight famous pieces of classical music, conducted by Leopold Stokowski and interpreted in animation by Walt Disney's team of artists.This fantastic artistic experiment continues to please me even after all this time. It truly has shaped my life and it has given me an appreciation for aesthetic beauty and helped me recognize that there is magic in the world if you look hard enough.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.My all time favorite superhero movie and one that I will re-visit time and time again because of how amazing it is. It is for lack of a better term the "Citizen Kane" of superhero movies and I am very grateful that it exists.
- DirectorVictor FlemingKing VidorStarsJudy GarlandFrank MorganRay BolgerYoung Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto are swept away by a tornado from their Kansas farm to the magical Land of Oz, and embark on a quest with three new friends to see the Wizard, who can return her to her home and fulfill the others' wishes.Probably one of the most endearing stories I have ever watched. It is simple but charming and it encompasses lovable characters perfectly. This movie is so much fun to watch and I still know the songs even today.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsSam NeillLaura DernJeff GoldblumA pragmatic paleontologist touring an almost complete theme park on an island in Central America is tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose.One of my all time favorite summer blockbusters. This is not only an amazing adaptation of the outstanding Michael Crichton novel but it's kinda better in some areas. It also has outstanding visual effects and amazing tension throughout!
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.The quintessential action flick that has done everything right. Lovable characters, amazing action, and high intensity. It gives you an adrenaline rush and it never fails to keep you engaged in the narrative. Terminator II will not be forgotten anytime soon.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.My personal favorite out of this epic trilogy by Peter Jackson. My life wouldn't be complete without having seen these movies and this one stands out the most to me. I find it the most interesting and unique. I love this film and nobody can make me think otherwise.
- DirectorTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseMichael PalinBorn on the original Christmas in the stable next door to Jesus Christ, Brian of Nazareth spends his life being mistaken for a messiah.Probably the greatest comedy ever made. I still laugh when I see these scenes and think this is a fantastic comedic gag. A movie that is self aware yet still fully committed. Wouldn't trade this film for the world. Really genuine and bold, deserves praise.
- DirectorRob ReinerStarsCary ElwesMandy PatinkinRobin WrightA bedridden boy's grandfather reads him the story of a farmboy-turned-pirate who encounters numerous obstacles, enemies and allies in his quest to be reunited with his true love.Probably my favorite romance ever and it is done so perfectly. This comedic romance is a film that can be enjoyed by pretty much anybody. It has become a cult classic and one that deserves its place on my list of favorite movies. It still wins me over.
