My Favorite Movies Part 2

#5


One of the few movies that will make me cry. Anyone who loves movies and baseball should not be without this movie.

What is this movie all about? This line says it all.

"Hey dad... you wanna have a catch?"- Ray Kinsella played by Kevin Costner

#4



How can you not love this movie. I mean if you believe the Holocaust was the most terrible and unnecessary loss of human life the world has ever seen, you can't help but love the story of hope that this movie is. And if you deny that the Holocaust even took place you can rejoice in the loss of that life because you are a Jew hating piece of shit.



Anyway this is another of the few movies that make me cry, and I think the reason is quite obvious.Sum up line for this work of art.



"The list is an absolute good. The list is life."- Itzhak Stern played by Ben Kingsley






#3



Brando, Pacino, Duvall, and Caan, how can you possibly miss. Now I know that most of you will probably say that the second installment is better but I have always been partial to #1.



This movie is very difficult to sum up in a single line but if put on the spot I think that I would have to go with.



"It's not personal, only business."- Michael Corleone played by Al Pacino





#2

Just an unbelivable movie. And I did not pick out a single movie in the trilogy on purpose because they are essentially one large movie and should be viewed as such.

Gandalf will now recite the sum up line for this movie.

Upon Frodo saying that he wishes the ring had never come to him, Gandalf has this to say.

"So do all who live to see such times but that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."- Gandalf the Grey played by Ian Mckellan

And my #1 favorite movie of all time is.

Okay if this comes as a suprise to anyone who reads this blog I will be severely dissapointed. However I feel I should clarify that I am not speaking of strictly Episode IV. This trilogy (notice I said trilogy and not saga as I cannot in good taste include the prequels in this entry) is, just like LOTR, meant to be viewed as a whole. I know that this is probably a bit anti-climactic but so what.

Anyway I had to truly rack my brain to find the line from these movies that truly sums them up and I believe it can be found in Episode IV.

"You must do what you feel is right of course."- Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi played by the late great Alec Guiness.




So there they are. I know that many movies on this list would not make most top 10 lists but for the moment this is mine. I expect it to change as other movies come out or I see others classics that I have not seen before.
