Top Ten Movies
Top ten lists are unnatural, arbitrary, and usually reflect the mindset of the creator only for a brief window of time.
That said, here is a list of my top ten most favoritest movies of all time, ever... At this particular moment... With a little bit of padding:
- Gattaca
- "I never saved anything for the swim back." Watch this movie. Now.
- Emperor's New Groove
- Kronk. HA!
- Kung Fu Hustle
- Life is Beautiful
- The DVD's special features really ought to include Roberto Benigni jumping up and down on the seats at the Oscars.
- Count of Monte Cristo
- I'm aware that the movie bears no more than a passing resemblance to the book. I don't care. I enjoy both for different reasons. Also, the book is depressing, and unnecessarily so.
- The Island
- Light and fluffy, like a 3 Musketeers.
- Mirrormask
- Fiddler on the Roof
- leHayim!
- Solaris
- Two too many shots of Clooney's butt, but a great movie to make you think.
- Frequency
- Serendipity
- A perfectly tolerable Chick Flick with John Cusack, who is always easy to relate to.
- The Empire Strikes Back

So I have seen all of 3 of those movies; however, I do have to say that Serendipity is a great movie (surprised that you picked it but a good movie none-the-less). But even better than the movie is the restaurant, you must go there sometime and get their frozen hot chocolate!
1. Gattaca
I also enjoyed this movie both for the entertainment and scientific value. Are we simply the sum of our DNA coding, or can we break out of our "predetermined mold" to attain our greatest desires.
4. Life is Beautiful
Love this movie! As a parent I am acutely aware of the lengths you will go to to protect your child's innocence and happiness. Also a great example of choosing joy in all circumstances.
5. Count of Monte Cristo
A favorite for me and Randy.
10. Frequency
Good
11. Serendipity
Like pretty much anything with John Cusack but semi weak plot line.
12. The Empire Strikes Back
You know how I feel about this one : )
How did I know that you would be on the same page as me with Gattaca? And Katie, yeah I gotta go check out this frozen hot chocolate!
And Katie, which 3?
"easy to relate to" = man crush
Also, I have had the frozen hot chocolate Katie refers to. It is delightful.
