Hello everybody. Hope you are all having a fantastic Labor Day. I am enjoying mine here in sunny Los Angeles relaxing and just enjoying the day. I have another Top 10 today. Being that I'm near Hollywood, the movie capital of the world, I have decided to make a list of my Top 10 movies that I have seen. So, here it is:
1. Remember the Titans
Just a tremendous sports movie that features some great acting, a story about a football team overcoming racism in their town and on their team to complete a memorable season. Watching this movie gets better every single time.
2. The Hangover
If you like comedies, this movie is for you. The acting in this was hysterical as each person played their role tremendously. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis all did a great job trying to find their lost bachelor all over Las Vegas. I could not stop laughing the entire movie!
3. Psycho
Horror/murder mystery movies don't get much better than this one. Janet Leigh provides the perfect character for Marion Crane as she tries to escape town and ends up at the Bates Motel. The music makes the movie as it provides a creepy backdrop to the chilling storyline. A must-see if you are a murder mystery fan!
4. The Rookie
Another one of my all-time favorite sports movies. Dennis Quaid does a great job filling the role of former Major League pitcher Jim Morris, who goes from teacher in Texas to pro pitcher for the Devil Rays in a matter of months. Just a great story to hear if you don't already know it, and a fantastic, heart-warming movie to watch even if you do.
5. V for Vendetta
It took me a couple viewings of the movie to understand everything that was going on, but it's totally worth it to watch it again and again. The extensive plot and awesome special effects make the movie even better. It's a great story to follow as the movie goes on and the acting was superb.
6. Superbad
One of the all-time funniest movies. From start to finish, the movie theater was cracking up at each joke. The storyline was another hilarious tale of trying to get to a party and buying alcohol with a fake ID. All of the tangents the actors had to encounter really made the movie worthwhile. Pure laughter in this one.
7. Independence Day
This movie could be higher up on the list, but we'll slide it in here. Still one of the great movies that can be watched over and over again. Will Smith does a great job in the movie and the special effects are awesome. When the movie came out, it was a thrill to watch it in a movie theater. Definitely a quality action movie with some drama thrown in as well.
8. Wedding Crashers
Another classic storyline in this one featuring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Two guys who go around crashing weddings and sleeping with girls at each one. Then, they both fall in love with people at one specific wedding. Funny moments all the time in each movie but there's a heartwarming tale in it too.
9. Pulp Fiction
This classic featuring the likes of John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, and Uma Thurman, provides multiple storylines and interesting twists the entire movie. I really liked the acting by both Travolta and Jackson as they made the movie funny and action-packed at the same time.
10. Friday Night Lights
Based on the true story of the 1988 Permian Panthers, it was great to see what high school football in Texas is really like and how much pressure these kids are put under when playing the game. The story is a little dramatized, but the emotion that you can see and feel as the movie goes on really makes it great to watch.
Honorable Mention Award Winners
Major League
Anchorman
Happy Gilmore
Miracle
Animal House
That's all from me...might come at you with another Top 10 tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the new background. I'll try and change it up every so often. This is of Dodger Stadium.
