A close friend of mine asked around about a "movie bucket list" (not to be confused with THE movie bucket list...lol). She wanted people to give her their list of movies they believed should be see before you die. I, sadly, (and shamefully) despite my wide WIDE range of movie knowledge, have yet to respond to this request. The fact is, you see, that I have watched quite a number of movies and am having trouble deciphering the good from the great, the great from the extraordinary, and the extraordinary from the epic. I may be overthinking it of course, and then I have to wonder if I should be going based on any sort of scale? As it is, I am working on this list, and have decided that different movies are great for different reasons. Therefore, I will be presenting my list, in many pieces (as I think of them), and will hopefully end up posting an updated full list eventually as well. And these will be in no certain order (except the very first, which is my all time favorite movie and should be watched first and foremost) and you may find that some are very very different. Some may be academy award winning quality, and some may just hold a very dear place in my heart.
Without further ado, I present the first few on my list:
1. The Crow (the original with Brandon Lee, not the disappointing sequels that followed, for the original is great. And by great, I mean totally utterly completely EPIC and cannot be outdone.)
2. Practical Magic (starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock)
3. The Labrynth (with David Bowie)
4. Hachi (I hope I spelled it correctly, lol. This is a movie about a dog that is loyal even after the death of his owner. I cried just watching the preview. It's inspired by a real dog from the 20's)
Okay, that's it for now. I'm tired and I have to work tomorrow, so this will continue as I come across them. And if you should choose to watch them, thanks for taking my advice, and enjoy!
