  2. My Favorite movie was the Book of Eli. A story about a man who tries to keep the contents of a book safe for future use. The movie also has a great twist at the end, but i'll leave that for you to figure out.

  12. My favorite movie of all time is Inception. I really liked this movie because it made me really think about dreams and how dreams work. Even though it was a confusing movie, its definitely a movie you have to see two times. It's really good!

  13. Its kind of hard to pick a favorite movie of all time for me, but if I had to pick one movie it would be The Warriors. I like the movie because of it's great theme on how there is tension between other gangs in the late 1970s of New York. And I admire that the idea of of the movie comes along story of courage.
