I've got a few favorite movies myself, and they include...
...for its man vs. naure manliness...
...for its man vs. man insanity...
and last but not least...
...for the letter Ben Chapman wrote to my son. (Remind me to tell you the story some time.)
My favorite movie is Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. The reason is that it is filled with real life events that keep you hooked on the movie. By real life events I mean, things that could happen.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is Pineapple Express with James Franco. The reason it is my favorite movie is because it is full of humor and has many comedic actors. It is not very realistic but some of the things in the movie could happen.
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite film would probably be White Oleander. It's not very well known, but it's raw and it's probably one of the best movies I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is Freedom Writers directed by Richard Lagravenese. I think this because it gives us the view of a different group of students in Long Beach California. It helps us become thankful for the gifts that we have such as a great school, rather than complaining about the things we want. The movie creates an emotional effect, which makes me value the movie the most.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time would have to be Zoolander with Ben Stiller. It's the one movie my friends and I love to watch, no matter where or when. Ben Stiller, who plays Derek Zoolander, is hilarious in this movie and plays his role as an idiotic male model very well. His signature looks, "Blue Steel" and "Magnum," have me laughing every time. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who needs a good laugh. I also like Kung Fu Hustle and Shaun of the Dead.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie would be, "Final Fantasy: Advent Children". I recognized this movie as my favorite because it featured one of my favorite video games of all time. Having rumored that every video game based movies are horrible. This movie was very successful, and became an example to many movies base on video games. It was very entertaining to watch; and Gamers can relate to the movie, having played the game beforehand.
ReplyDeleteJohn - Gran Torino is great. Are there any other Eastwood movies you like?
ReplyDeleteKatie - Zoolander is funny. Tropic Thunder is VERY funny. But have you ever seen the Ben Stiller Show from the 90s?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is probably The Notebook with Rachel McAdams. I lke this movie because it is set in the 1940s/50s and the story line is interesting and romantic. The ending is bittersweet but throughout the movie the events could have acually occured at the time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is "Bridesmaids". I chose this as my favorite movie because I instantly fell in love with it and I could not stop laughing. This movie was nominated for many awards, and I can clearly see why it was! In conclusion,"Bridesmaids" is my favorite movie because it makes me laugh every single time and is a great chick flick. I would greatly recommend this movie to everyone!
ReplyDeletemy favorite movie of all time would definitely have to be "17 again". This is my favorite movie because the lead actor is Zac Efron and i love him! i also instantly fell in love with this movie 10 minutes into it, because it is the perfect romantic comedy. It made me hysterically laugh, while it also made me feel melancholy.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite movie has to be "Step Brothers" with Will Farrell and John Reilly. Not only is Will Farrell a legend, he is also the funniest man in the world. The movie is filled with humor and it has you laughing at almost every scene. I've seen this movie plenty of times, and there will definitely be more to come.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is Letters to God. It is my favorite movie because it allows me to feel a mixture of happiness, appreciation, gratefulness and unfortunately, sadness. The main characters are also, magnificently played. All in all, it is a cute and beautiful movie that is not as cliché as the title might make it out to sound.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time would have to be Elf. It is my favorite movie because the way that Will Ferrell I think executes the role of an elf very well in this film. Elf also features some phrases that I use sometimes like cotton headed ninny muggin or You sit on a throne of lies. Because of the humor in Elf, I would say it is my favorite movie
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is probably Green Street Hooligans, because the movie is very inspirational. Also Elijah Woods had a great role in the movie. My favorite part about this movie is that it isn't too well known and that it's really raw for a movie.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I love this movie because John Hughes is one of my favorite directors and it was filmed very close to where we live. Also, because I love 80’s movies, and I have always wanted to live in that time period.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is Sherlock Holmes. I love this movie because it is hilarious and exciting. I also think that Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor and really helps make the movie great. But I love the second one even more than the first!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time would have to be Finding Nemo. I mean you cant help but feeling bad for Nemo who has a boss like small fin. Also the storyline always seems to captivate me. Also there are really funny parts in it.....especially since there are CLOWNFISH in it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is "Warrior". This movie has a great plot and shows how anything is possible. This movie is full of action and excitement. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fighting and action-packed movies.
ReplyDeleteI love Star Wars. So my favorite movie of all times is Star Wars Episode 4. I love this movie because it kicked of the best trigoly of all times. Packed with action this is a movie for all ages.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is Scarface. Al Pacino is an awesome actor in the movie. It had a great plot and is one of the greatest movies ever.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is Old School. Mainly because this movie is a classic. Will Ferrel and Vince Vaughan and Luke Wilson mix together to create a great movie. The movie is not really realistic but could very possibly happen and that is why it is such a good movie.
