My Top Five Movies =]

5. Saving Private Ryan
Why?
There are a few reasons Saving Private Ryan is number 5 on my top movies list. For one, it has Matt Damon in it, and oh my gosh he is goregous. Also, although graphic at times, it has a great pace and plenty of action. I never get bored during the entire film. In fact, the first time I saw it, I experience many emotions. At times I was in tears, and other times I was shouting at the screen. I tend to get really angry when a character does something pretty stupid. This movie has a greet script, has amazing actors, and overall is just a great film.

4. Romeo + Juliet (1996)
Why?
I love this movie to death! First of all, the acting is incredible. Leonardo DiCaprio amazes me in each and every film he is in. Plus, he is just absolutely goregous. The director did an amazing job because he was able to use the original script that William Shakespeare wrote, and modernalize it at the same time. He blended it together so perfectly, that the old fashion talk did not bother me at all. I love a good romance film and action films. This movie was both. I also just love the story of Romeo and Juliet. This movie makes me sob every single time I watch it. It holds my attention for the entire film.

3. The Bourne Movies
Why?
Well, of course Matt Damon is just goregous. Also, I love how the movies are filmed. The way how it is filmed, it's like you are right next to Bourne, getting in with all the action. I don't know which one my favorite is because, they are all so amazing! The plot just keeps me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The rush is incredible. I only just saw these movies about a month or so ago, and I am in love with them!

2. Pearl Harbor
Why?
This film was one of my major obsessions during my childhood. Only one other film was a much bigger obsession for me than this one. I cannot even begin to count how many times I have seen it. I love this movie because it is well paced, and the story line is very clear and enjoyable. Plus, Ben Afflack and Josh Hartnett are really hot. Once again, it has romance and action. The music is great! Hans Zimmer did an amazing job with the score. Even though this movie is long, it holds my attention throughout the entire film. The special effects are simply incredible. The first time I saw this movie, I was completely blown away.

1. Titanic
Why?
I first saw this movie when I was in third grade. When I finished the movie, I knew I was in love with it. I then proceeded to learn everything I could about the true history of the Titanic and all about the movie. I watched the movie almost every single day. For over three years, this movie was my major obsession. To this day, I still know the whole movie by heart. The acting is amazing. The story is just wonderful. Once again, action and romance all in one. Leonardo DiCaprio not only looks so hot, but he performs beautifully, along with Kate Winslet. Throughout this entire movie, every single time I have seen it, it has kept my entire attention. I have never seen a movie so many times, I have seen this movie hundreds of times. I never got sick of it, and I am still not to this day. I don't watch it everyday now, but I do watch it at least once a month. This movie was a major part of my childhood. Even if someone didn't know me very well, they knew one thing, I loved the movie Titanic. James Horner did a brilliant job with the soundtrack, it was so moving. James Cameron did a magnificant job with this film. Last year, I made my sister buy me the 10 year anniversary DVD edition of Titanic, which is packed with bonus features. There are deleted scenes, and so many behind the scenes looks. There are special programs, the features just can go on for hours and hours. My favorite special feature, is probably the skit done by Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller, along with James Cameron. They propose to him to make a sequal to Titanic, and it is just hiliarious. An SNL skit is also included that is very enjoyable.


Those are my top five favorite movies, if you haven't seen them...you really should watch them, because they are incredible films.

Titanic is really good, but really sad. The only thing that bothers me in that movie is we all know what happens before we watch it.
