Day 3 of the 31 day blog challenge and I am still going strong. Today’s topic is a bit short and boring “List your 5 favourite movies”
First of all, I don’t watch movies as much except for my year and a half in UK when I became a total addict thanks to CineWorld and their wonderful CineWorld card for movie lovers everywhere (at least everywhere with a CineWorld cinema).
My taste in movies might be a bit abnormal but bear with me.
My top 5 favourite movies are:
- Kung Fu Panda: Anyone that knows me will know my obsession with this movie. I can quote almost every line from the movies.Why do I like it so much? I have no idea but then the love everyone has for those God awful minions never makes any sense to me either.
- Lucky Number Slevin: The whole movie is based on the “Kansas City Shuffle”. The general idea that you can totally misdirect a number of people on different sides of an issue without none of them being the wiser. The storyline absolutely is amazing to me and one of the movies that got me interested in studying the human mind.
- Exam: If you have not seen this movie then you obviously have been wasting your eyes. This is low-budget, straight-to-DVD movie which I downloaded by accident. Very long story that I will not tell here, at least not today. I decided to watch this movie since I had nothing to do and it totally blew me away. It is absolutely painful that the producers of this movie did not take the risk of bringing it to the big screens because they would have made a killing.
- Devil Wears Prada: The cast = Brilliant. The writing = Brilliant. The fashion = Brilliant. I am not much of a fashion guy or drama movie guy but this movie has stuck with me for a very long. Meryl Streep was so deliciously evil and Anne Hathaway blew my hat away 😀 Plus the movie has the Mentalist himself Simon Baker who made an appearance and mentally seduced the crap out of poor Andrea.
- Number 23: This movie is the reason for my neurotic habits of counting and doing everything is 3’s, 5’s and 7’s. Walter Sparrow played by Jim Carrey finds out everything in his life could be broken down to 23. He got married at 23, his birthday was February 3rd (2/3), his social security number added to 23, the movie length is 1:41:08. 14+1+8=23, Jim Carrey was paid $23million for this role and some even crazier facts discovered along the way but then the movie ended with the 23rd and final act. It’s a thriller and not the usual Jim Carrey comedy and it was done great.
I have 3 movies that did not make it to my top 5 favourite but I’ll just list them anyways.
- Wanted
- The Usual Suspects
- Se7en
There you have it. My 8 favourite movies of all time. I like Star Wars but I wouldn’t call it my favourite.
As a bonus, here are a few of my unfavourite movies if you will.
- Absolutely cannot stand Indiana Jones.
- All Transformers movies are just noise in my ear and the most recent one was partly racist.
- Batman Trilogy
- Superman movies.
- Despicable Me 2
