This is going to sound very random, but I want to give a little more insight into my mind. I will start today's "things I think are awesome post" with my top three favorite movies. Please remember that this is my opinion, I am not a film critic, I just chose movies that evoked powerful emotions.
#1 Movie of All-Time: Braveheart (1995)
Uh...seriously...this is the greatest movie of all time. It has everything I need. Historical relevance? Check. Great Acting? Check. Great battle scenes? Check. Inspiration to stand up for what you believe in? Check. If you are a man, and you don't like this movie, we have issues.
#2 Movie - Star Wars Episodes IV-VI
Now I know I picked three movies here, but they are meant to be watched one after the other. I am not a huge fan of the newer installments although I did watch them. As a kid I wanted to be Luke Skywalker more than anyone else, as an adult I want to be Han Solo.
I know this trailer has some of the new movies interwoven with the old ones, but it is the coolest one I could find.
# 3 Movie - The Godfather
Is this a cliche choice? I am a quarter Italian but watching this movie makes me wish I was 100% Sicilian. No cool special effects, nothing special when it comes to production, but the story and the actors...Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert Duvall. Great Movie.
