As promised, here is a list of my favorite movies. I heard somewhere that you can tell a lot about a person by the books s/he reads and the movies s/he watches. If this is true, I have no idea what my list says about me, other than that I like them. Some of my favorite movies started out as books. By the way, in my experience the book is always better than the movie. I have seen most of the movies on this list more than once. In no particular order:
1. Little Big Man (book and movie)
2. The Karate Kid (just the first one)
3. The Grapes of Wrath (book and movie)
4. The Edge
5. It's a Wonderful Life
6. Mountain Man (book and movie)
7. Avatar
8. The Rocky movies (especially the first :)
9. Forrest Gump (book and movie)
10. Rainman
There you have it. Many other movies I love didn't make the cut and perhaps on a different day I would choose ten different ones. Favorite books tomorrow.

You have a long list of favorite movies, Lamia.
DeleteWho are you? I like these movies too. I have never seen Troy.
ReplyDeleteHi, i'm Lamia. Troy is an epic historical war film. it's dramatic too. Brad Pitt is the hero; he is a strong Greek warrior.Troy is interesting. I encourage you to see this film.
ReplyDeleteBrad Pitt is one of my favorite actors; young Brad Pitt and older Brad Pitt.
DeleteLamia. Thank you for your comment. I know about the historical event called Troy, but I have not seen the movie. I will try to watch it. I like Brad Pitt.
ReplyDeleteyou welcome Mr B. Brad Pitt is a strong actor, but Will Smith is the best for me; his movies mostly have meanings.
