Well it has been just about a week since my last post. I just felt like I needed to give everyone even myself a chance to take in the last post which was almost a book long. And now I'm going to lighten things up with this post and talk about a topic that is near and dear to my heart, and that is movies. To be more specific we will be talking about my desert island movies. These movies being the top five movies I would take with me if I was stuck on a desert island for the rest of my life. I am a firm believer that you can found out everything you need to know about a person by the movies that they watch, and more importantly the movies that they love. And here are mine.
1.) Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The thing about this pick is this. If I could take the "holy trilogy" itself I would, and I have always stated that I think that Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is the best of all the movies and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is the most fun, but for me there is something special about A New Hope. It was the first. I can still remember the first time that I ever saw it. It was one of the most magical experiences of my life, and for the next two weeks I swore that I was a Jedi Knight. I truly believe that this movie is were it all started for me. This is the movie that made me love movies. This is the movie that opened up my imagination and made me believe that anything might be possible. I think there is something important about the relationship that a kid has with the first movie that they fall in love with. I myself was a very shy kid and was always more comfortable being by myself, and I believe that this movie allowed me to do that. It allowed me to be in this whole other world and not really notice that fact that I was alone, because I had Han Solo, Chewy, Yoda, and Obi-Won all there with me. And as I've grown up and my love for movies has blown up I can now look back at this movie and appreciate just how great and a head of its time that it really was. How this epic story only gets better with time. So for all these reasons A New Hope ranks right at the top of my desert island movie list.
It has just now come to me that if I spell out all five movies and the reasons why I love each this post with be longer than the one from last week so I will be unleashing my list one day at a time this week, so stay tuned for the rest of the list.
