Carl's bad ass mofucking list of movies mofucka's

A lot has happened on the blog since the last time I have been on here. It appears as if I now need to create a list of my favorite movies of all time, and so it begins. ( In no order of course)

The Crow- I remember the first time I saw this movie. It came on HBO around 3 in the morning and I started watching it and just couldn't stop. I was still pretty young at this point, but I remember thinking that it looked really shitty but for some reason I just couldn't stop watching it. I'm still not sure why I love this movie but for some reason I do.

Se7en- This was a movie that I had never heard anything about, and I picked it up after watching Fight Club because of the badass Fincher Pitt combo. I was hook line and sinker after the opening credits.

The Shining- There is just something about Stanley Kubrick that you either love or hate. For me, it's usually love. Any many that spends two days and 30+ cans of film on one shot is alright by me as long as I'm not the AD.

From Russia with Love- This movie brings back a lot of memories. My grandma introduced me to this movie when I was about 7. Probably explains why I am slightly different. This is still my favorite Bond movie. This movie really did the job of defining Bond for who he is.

Almost Famous- God I love this movie. I've always enjoyed Cameron Crowe movies, but this is by far my favorite. The characters really sucked me and never let me go. The music drives the movie from start to finish. The underlining theme of follow your dream really kind of suits all our personalities.

American History X- This movie really taught me to appreciate character pieces. The black and white really kind of draws me in and was a perfect fit for this film. Ed Norton owns this movie. (Literally)

Terminator 2- What is really left to say about this movie that John didn't already cover? JAMES CAMERON IS A MAN.

this is harder than it sounded

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid- This movie has always had a special place in my heart. My dad has always loved westerns, and I'm not sure where this ranks on his list of movies, but it's deff my fav western. The end kind of blows you and every one else away.

Jaws- Something struck me as horrifying the first time I saw this. I think it's because my sister made me watch it before I went on vacation in FL. This movie really taught me that scary movies don't have to suck.

Vertigo- I've always loved Hitchcock movies, but this one more than others. The stairwell shot is half the reason I went to film school. It still amazes me that he could pull that off with the general lack of technology he had.

Blade Runner- Sir Ridley Scott introduced me to sci-fi kind of with this movie. I mean I had seen them before, but this one really made realize once again that not all sci-fi movies have to suck. O Harrison Ford.
