Super Duper Double Done Top 10 Movie List

Super Duper Double Done Top 10 Movie List

So not wanting to feel left out I will through in 10 movies that have effected the way I look at film, and one extra that was AWESOME…And here we GO!!!!

Avatar- WOW. James Cameron is awesome. I saw avatar will JQ at midnight opening night in IMAX and when I walked out of the theater JQ asked me what I thought and I literately couldn’t speak. The shear epicness of this movie just blows me away. The story was simple but the visuals and the amount of detail that went into everything was mind blowing.

Inglorious Bastards- I was like Tarantino fan but this movie really defines why I like him so much. The writing, acting, Christopher Waltz, WTF. Even though John and I were nearly stabbed by a drunken idiot sitting behind us, it was still awesome.

Gladiator- Oh yes Gladiator. We all have that one movie growing up that made us want to make movie and know that it was truly was what we wanted to spend the rest of our life’s doing. Dan’s was Dragonheart, Johns was Children of Men, mine was Gladiator. Just loved everything about it.

Blood Diamond- Loved it!!!! I love movie that not only have a good story and acting, character development…but teach us a lesson and enlighten us to a subject that maybe we’re al not aware off. To be honest this movie is a lot like the way I dream off seeing The Cost; A movie that is not only entertaining but teaches a lesson.

Slumdog Millionaire- I can remember the day that John forced me to go see Slumdog Millionaire. I think this movie affected me the way Gladiator did. There isn’t one thing about it that I would change or didn’t like. It was perfect in everyway, and I believe it deserved the academy award even though Benjamin Button was good. Like Blood Diamond I found it interesting to see the culture of India and their way of life. Spectacular Movie.

Forest Gump- Im pretty sure there isn’t a soul on planet earth that doesn’t like Forest Gump. And if there is someone they should find a new planet cause there’s something wrong with you…jk. But seriously once again a movie that balanced all the key ingredients that go into making a good film.
Memento- This movie really opened my eyes to the power of editing and what you can do with it. And how it can change a movie. Christopher Nolan is AWESOME. (and on a side not the new Inception trailer was amazing.)

Jaws- I fucking hate sharks, but I love this movie. Pretty sure I can thank Steven for my fear. But this movie struck a new age in film the age of the Blockbuster and without what this film did for the industry, movies today wouldn’t be what they are now.

Man on Fire- Had to mention this film and give Tony Scott and Paul Cameron credit. What an a great film. I remember when Dan got his PS3, we watched it on Blue Ray, which was my first experience with the ray, and it was awesome. I think the Color Reversal Bleach bypass…or was it cross-processed… idk john would know… anyways the way the film looked just sucked me right into. Not to mention the great story and acting.

In the Name of the Father- I have to agree with Dan on this one. I remember being in Tapia’s class and him being like “ we’re going to watch a movie today” and we we’re all like FUCK… cause he just showed us that In the Bedroom movie, boring, and that Behind the Sun movie, which was ok. But this movie made up for all that. Daniel Day Lewis was outstanding in this film, as he usually is.

Well that’s 10 that come to mind. All the movies mentioned but everyone are excellent and im glad me did this cause there a few I haven’t seen that I need to rent. This Christmas my mom rented Joyeux Noel, not sure if anyone has heard of it but it’s a foreign movie that premiered at Cannes. Its about a ceasefire between that Germans, Scottish, and French during WW1, and stars Diane Kruger and Daniel Brühl from Inglorious Bastards. I know its not Christmas anymore but if you get the chance to see it, its very good.
