Edition #16


Thirteen Movies that I love.....
1. Top Gun... Yes I know its cheesy. But I love this movie. Besides its pre-crazy Tom Cruise. You know back when he was still just a good looking guy and didnt have the silly beliefs he presses on every one and any one who will listen...
2. Selena... Im from Texas and yeah I know some spanish music. She was one of those singers that could just capture the beauty in a song, even if you couldnt understand the words. The movie will always make me cry.
3. Over the Hedge... I love kids movies. As long as they arent, you know, like Barney or of the such. But this movie cracked me up. I love it.
4. Peter Pan... This is the one that was released Christmas a few years back. Its got cool effects and the crocodile is larger than life. I can watch it over and over.
5. Little Women... The Hepburn version. I love old movies. This movie makes me cry and laugh. Plus heck I loved the book.
6. Red Dragon... Totally one of the coolest movies. I love the Hannible Lecter stuff. It kept me on edge through out the movie, even though I had read the book.
7. About a Boy... I love Hugh Grant. I have to admit though, the first time I started watching it I turned it off. Then my best friend sat down and made me watch it with her and I loved it.
8. Love Actually... Like I said I love Hugh Grant. This movie is so funny. The old rocker guy reminds me of my birth father. He looks alot like him, acts like him, and talks alot like him. It makes me laugh.
9. Benny and Joon... This is an old, old Johnny Depp movie. It makes you really want these people to be able to love each other with out their barriers. I dont know how else to explain it if you havent seen it.
10. Secret Window... Johnny Depp again. Mix him with Stephen King, you got one heck of a movie. All I have to say is I look at corn a little differently now....
11. A Walk to Remember... Another book I just loved, turned movie. I cant help it the story grabbed me and I still cry every time.
12. The Notebook... Do I read too much???? What can I say other than "sigh." Who doesnt want a love like that???
13. Walk the Line... I cant stand, I repeat, cant stand Johnny Cash. But this movie just kills me. I really loved it. I dont think that they could have cast that movie any better. I am still at a loss for words at how well this movie was done.

Great list. :) I enjoyed Top Gun back in the day. As you said, it was pre-crazy Tom Cruise, and just about every girl my age had a crush on him!

Happy T13. :)

I feel the same about Top Gun. I don't pay attention to anything that guy does anymore, but that was a good movie.

I love B & J. I haven't watched it lately but I've cried to it several times.

What a coincidence! I listed movies this week, too. I remember Benny and Joon. I pretty much love Johnny Depp.
