Top Ten Favorite Movies of All Time

Have you watched a certain movie over and over again until you lost count how many times you watched it?   Do you have a copy of that movie that you are watching over and over?

I am a movie lover and I watched variety of movies. I have more than a hundred favorite movies in mind but I have this top ten movies that I never get tired of watching.  I used to have this habit of collecting the original copies of my favorite movies.

I have the list of these movies in my manual journal and you will find that some of them have check marks.  The check mark means that I already acquired the original CD of that movie.  My best friend has her own list of favorites also.  Whoever between us finds a copy of a movie from our lists, we buy it in behalf of each other.  These original CDs used to be expensive and it was not easy to sustain our habits.  What we used to do before was to wait for these movies to be "on sale", then we buy the original copies.  If the movie is not so popular, I checked on video shops and buy their extra copy.

'My purpose for collecting these movies was for me to be able to watch these movies anytime that I want to.  Well nowadays we all know that there are several easy ways to find the movie of your choice.  But before torrents and downloads became popular, I almost have all the original copies of my most favorite movies.  “Almost” because I can not find the original copies of the other movies which are not very popular or not too commercialized.

Here’s sharing the Top 10 list of my most favorite movies of all time according to my own ranking.  You may  noticed that it’s a kinda weird combination but that's what makes it an interesting list.
  1. Speed (1994)
    Starring: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock
  2. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
    Starring: Tom Hanks, Matt Damon
  3. Meet Joe Black (1998)
    Starring: Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Claire Forlani
  4. Pirates of Silicone Valley (1999)
    Starring: Noah Wyle, Anthony Michael Hall
  5. In the Time of the Butterflies (2001)
    Starring: Salma Hayek, Edward James Olmos
  6. 13 Days (2000)
    Starring: Kevin Costner, Bruce Greenwood, Steven Culp
  7. Rules of Engagement (2000)
    Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Tommy Lee Jones
  8. The Big Hit (1998)
    Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Philips
  9. Nick of Time (1995)
    Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken
  10. Patch Adams (1998)
    Starring: Robin William, Monica Potter
Later along the blogging way, I hope I could share my own point of (re)view to each of the movies from my list.  Who knows, you might find my reasons and (re)views interesting.

What about you? Do you have your own top ten favorite movies of all time?

    I need to watch more movies to start I think. I'm fairly fond of anything with Robert Downey Jr. and Joseph Gordan-Levitt though.

      I think you should so you wouldn't "worry to much" :) ha ha

      I've been to your site and I got hooked reading your candid thoughts.

      I love robert downey jr movies, charlie chaplin is the best for me, but am not much of a fan of Levitt.

      Thanks for dropping by and I hope you'll come back :)

      Speed? I think I memorized the scenes and I can make a re-make from my memory lol

      six of these movies are based on true story and they were not very commercialized.

      at syempre, si Zaicy pa rin ;)

    I thinκ ωhat you ѕаid was actually very reаsonable.
    But, cοnsider thіѕ, ωhat if you wгote a catchier title?
    I mean, I ԁon't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added something to possibly get folk's attentіon?
    I mеan "Top Ten Favorite Movies of All Time" is kindа ρlаin.
    You ѕhould peеκ аt Yаhoo's front page and watch how they create post titles to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everything'νe
    ωritten. In my ορinіon,
    it woulԁ maκe yοur websitе а
    lіttle lіvelier.
