WILL'S GOLD STANDARD OF MOVIES

So it comes time to make my favorites list.  The subjects I choose may seem a bit out of the ordinary but I feel it expresses my tastes in movies.

TOP 5 MOVIES. (in order)

Gattaca

I’ve loved this movie for years.  I’ve seen it many times and every time I rewatch the movie it is with the same awe as the first time I watched it.

Waking Ned Devine

I laugh at the same jokes every time and anticipate them eagerly.  The movie is just fun from beginning to end

Big Fish

I love the story this movie tells and have always loved voice over.  The fact that this movie is heavy with it doesn’t hurt and uses it well.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (representing all 007 films)

From high points such as On Her Majesty’s Secret Service & Casino Royale to low points such as License to Kill I have and will remain a loyal fan of James Bond.  I always eagerly await the latest 007 mission while sitting on the edge of my seat when I re watch the archives. 

Casablanca

A movie that always reminds me of the magic of movies.

SEQUEL: Aliens

A sequel should always continue the story of its predecessor without requiring the viewer to have seen it.

GENRE: Documentary.

I just love them.  Enough said.

FAVORITE DOCUMENTARY: The Cove

The Cove works beautifully as a documentary but also crosses genres as a great suspense movie.  The movie marks its success beyond box office dollars but the positive events that happened after.

WHY I LIKE GOING AT MIDNIGHT: I love being one of the first to go see a movie.  More importantly I enjoy passing the time in the company of friends.  I cook dinner first and we pass the time in each others fellowship before the movie and all seem to enjoy the evenings.
