I haven't reviewed a movie in awhile. So to make up for it, I decided to tell you my favorite movies of all time. At least all my time. Please feel free to leave any comments to tell me some of your favorite movies.
1. The Iron Giant PG
Why: This is the first movie I remember seeing, and it's still my favorite. It's every kids dream; finding a robot from outer space and making it your friend. I thought the movie in general was awesome. Hogarth is probably my favorite movie character ever. It's also from one of my favorite directors ever, Brad Bird. He has a way of making every movie so real and so entertaining. He also directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille (two of my favorite Pixar movies). The writing is so creative. If I had to chose one movie to watch for the rest of my life, it would be this movie.
Who: Brad Bird (director), Eli Marienthal (Hogarth Hughes), Harry Connick Jr. (Dean McCoppin), Vin Diesel (Iron Giant), Christopher McDonald (Kent Mansley)
2. District 9 R
Why: If you read my favorite movies of 2009 you'll know this was my favorite. It's so thought provoking, and directed perfectly. The acting is amazing and I hope Sharlto Coopley gets nominated, if not wins for best actor. It was made for a relatively small amount (30 million) whereas Avatar was made for about 400 million plus. I wish it would have had a better run than it did. But it was a great movie nevertheless.
Who: Neil Blomkamp (director), Sharlto Coopley (Wikus Van De Merwe)
3. Toy Story 2 G
Why: Toy Story 2 is my favorite Pixar movie. It's such a fun movie. As you might have guessed, it's the sequel to Toy Story. It was a close race, but Toy Story 2 turned out to be my favorite. I liked how they introduced many new characters, as well as brought back some of the favorites. I loved the plot and everything about it was great.
Who: John Lasseter (director), Ash Brannon (co-director), Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear)
4. Ghostbusters
Why: This movie has one of my favorite comedic actors in it. Bill Murray. This movie is hilarious. I have never seen so many funny lines packed into one movie and not have it get cheesy. I saw this movie and I kept laughing about the lines after it was over. The plot is New York gets infested with ghosts. That alone is laughable (and not in a good way) but the actors find a way to make it funny.
Who: Ivan Reitman (director), Bill Murray (Peter Venkman), Dan Aykroyd (Raymond Stantz), Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler).
5.The Prestige
Why: I've never seen a movie that made me think more than the Prestige. The plot is, two magicians - who had been friends - keep trying to one up each other when one of their wives gets killed and one thinks the 0ther did it. I wish there had been a sequel. I think Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale give their best performances of their life.
Who: Chris Nolan (director), Hugh Jackman (Robert Angier), Christian Bale (Alfred Borden).
I hope you see all of these movies. They are each amazing and insanely awesome.
