This a new avenue for me, but I figured it would be an interesting way to express myself and share my feelings on things that matter most to me in this big wide world that we live in....chiefly among those being my massive collection of DVDs. Now...just to illustrate what I mean by massive...my collection currently maxes out at about 2574 titles spread out amongst 3361 discs, thanks to the helpful calculators over at DVD Aficionado. Here's the link to my site there... http://starchaserva.dvdaf.com. Every week, I will log what I've watched,be they in-theater, new releases, or old favorites. Feel free to take a look at my DVDAF site to make any suggestions on what I should watch and review! Also, from time to time, I'll be talking about anything that catches my fancy, which may lead to a rant or two every now and again. So...to start off this week, I'll have my first reviewed film starting tomorrow, and now I'll fire the first shot by giving a list of MY top ten favorite movies.
1. Star Wars - Undeniably my favorite film ever. A timeless classic, and the film that first inspired me to become a creative writer.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark - Everything that makes action films great, not to mention my favorite action sequence of all time That being where Indy single handedly lays waste to a Nazi Convoy. Dr Jones may very be my idol.
3. Jaws - This has scared and excited me since I was a young enough to even watch movies. Probably responsible for why I love sharks so much now as an adult.
4. King Kong - Pure Movie magic. One of my first cinematic memories was hearing about the Eigth Wonder of the World from my grandparents who had seen this in theaters. Wore out my VHS tape of a junky colorized version.
5. Casablanca - In my view, the most perfect american film ever created. You can't call yourself a film fan if you don't like this movie. Here's a hint...see this with your girl.
6. Alice in Wonderland - The Disney version. My favorite out of all the Disney films, animated or otherwise. Also happens to be my favorite book.
7. Yankee Doodle Dandy - Call me a flag waver, but I can't watch this classic musical without getting goosebumps at least once or twice.
8. Saving Private Ryan - As visceral and realistic a war film as you will ever see. I first watched this with my grandfather, who was there, and he attested to just how close Spielberg got to the actual event.
9. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Started my twenty year love affair with the atomic ray firing, city stomping monster. Many an afternoon was spent cheering on a man in a rubber suit, beating on another man in a rubber suit.
10. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - High Fantasy at its action packed, legendary best.
