My personal top five? Ie: My favorites?


Wow... how to narrow that deep.
Let me say that I have a fondness for John Williams, and a great deal of my love for these films is his scores.

Schindler's List (1993)
No contest, it has to be on the list. I saw this Christmas Day in the theatre, and was amazed. Visually, stylisticaly, musically... I was wow'ed.

Jurassic Park (1993)
In my opinion a decent adaption of Chritons work to the screen. The casting worked for me, and I beleived the dinosaurs.
And I cried. Yes, every time.

Empire of the Sun (1987)
I watch this film at least once a month. Sad that it's not really Bale singing, but I can live with that.
For some reason that movie resonates with me.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
It's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nothing else needs to be said.

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
This was a hard choice. I pick this film because it was the turning point in my fandom. This was where I went from mere movie watcher to movie geek.
And for the record, the ORIGINAL version, thank you.

I do like Hook, but it didnt make the top five, for the record.

I detest:

Artificial Intelligence: AI
This film was all wrong in my book. Maybe it was the change in directors that made it horrible for me.
I almost walked out.
Horrible horrible film, that I figured out entirely too early to continue to enjoy.
