Top 10: Favorite Movies :)

Hello All!! One of the sections that I am hopeful to share with you is the top 10 section.   This will itemize my personal favorites on topics, subjects that make us tick as humans.  Even if I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a professional, at the end of it all, I am still human being with hobbies. 

I would like to start by sharing with you my Top 10 Favorite Movies and in no particular order.  This list contains a wide variety of movie genres. 

Hope you enjoy reading this! Thank you!!

1.      The Godfather Trilogy:  This movie tackles the rise to success of the Corleone Family.  Al Pacino was amazing here as an actor.  Actually the acting of the cast here was awesome!! James Caan as Santino, Robert Duvall and of course the late Marlon Brando as the patriarch was cool.  And also, this movie amazed me on how the characters, the Corleone alpha males were able to “disguise” their livelihood. 

2.      The Lord of the Rings Trilogy:  This movie to me is breakthrough in terms of visual effects and technology advancements.  The script was a genius! I did not read any of the books but the storyline is straightforward that you are able to follow the movie plot right away.  My heart immediately feel for Lord Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen).  Elijah Wood (Frodo) was amazing especially on the scenes that he was trying to resist the temptation of the ring of power. 

3.      The Harry Potter Series: Who wouldn´t want to watch this movie?  We saw the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione grew from wizard kids to adolescents.  The cinematography was excellent!! I hope one day I get to travel to the Studio where this was filmed.  The storyline ad script were great!  It was a roller coaster ride of emotions for Snake, considering that he was strict and rigid when after all, he was just being protective of Harry. 

4.      While You Were Sleeping:  My favorite chich flick movie of all time.  Shot in the beautiful city centre of Chicago with the flawless acting of Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman.  It was so touching when the character of Sandra Bullock was talking to the unconscious Peter Callaghan in his hospital bed and she blurted “Have you ever been so sad and lonely that you do not mind speaking alone to a man in come?” (well something like that… And also, the way Jack (Bill Pullman) and Lucy (Sandra Bullock) looked at each other was just love.  This makes me all giddy!!! 

5.      Serendipity:  Love will find its way.  I love this movie because of its soundtrack, the emotions associated with it that makes you glue tied in your seat and of course! This movie was shot in New York during winter.  Beautiful!!

6.      The Prince of Egypt:  A religious animated movie that tackles the life of Joseph, the Dreamer.  This movie is beautiful because it talked about faith, prayers and the love and power of God.  Nothing is indeed impossible with God.  The scene where Joseph (Ben Affleck) was detained, he had to grow a plant and he sang “For you Lord, know better than I, you know the way.. I can´t know the reasons why, I´ll take the answers you will supply, for You know better than I” was very emotional. 

7.      Elsa y Fred: A Spanish movie that talks about finding love almost at your twilight stage. It showed the city center of Madrid and Rome.  The banters/exchange of dialogues between the 2 lead actors was funny, witty and also touching. 

8.      Love Actually: an ultimate feel good love story that took place during my favorite time of the year Christmas!!! 

9.      Cinema Paradiso: An Italian movie that talks about the friendship between Alfredo and Toto, a man and a young boy, who eventually became like father and son.  This is no love story at all but the pure love between Alfredo and Toto is just commendable.  The soundtrack is to die for!!!

10.   Ever After:  This is a Cinderella story. Jejejeje
