My Fucking favourite movies

I actually love blogs with list in it.... It is especially fun and relaxing to read. This is my top Ten list of Fav movies that i have watched.... I know a lot of ppl will ask where the fuck is The Godfather..... But fuck can u believe it.... i have never gotten the chance to watch it... So its not on this list... Anyway, this list is in no particular order.... These movies all ranked pretty equally in my book.... Take note that these movies might not have been great(Some of them) of popular.... But mostly it is quite big movies....

What Dreams May Come
Released : 1998
Cast : Robin William, Cuba Gooding Jr
This is truly the ultimate love story of a movie. If you are a romantic, you have to watch this film. How much more can a guy express his love when he travel through heaven and hell to find his wife. And then decides to give up an eternity in heaven just so he can be with his beloved wife. Talk about romantic.

Star Wars Saga

Release : 1977, 1980, 1983, 1999, 2002, 2005
Cast : Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Liam Neeson, Ewan Mcgregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Llyod
I had to place all of the 6 movies here. Firstly i absolutely love science fiction. But not only is it science fiction, it has other elements in the movies too. Drama, Love, Politics, Action.... Plus a buttload of cool Light Sabre fights. How can anyone not like these movies.

Schindler's List
Released :1993
Cast : Liam Neeson, Ben Kinsley, Ralph Fiennes
This is one of the few movies that are actual true stories. After watching this movie i realised that just one person can actually make a difference in any situation. If you have watched this movie and you didn't shed a tear while watching it at all there must be something seriously wrong with you. Oskar Schindler is truly a great man.

Scarface
Released : 1983
Cast : Al Pacino, Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
This movie is a just one classic gangster flick. It show the rise and fall of the one and only Tony Montana, a cuban "political" refugee who comes to the US and makes a name for himself in the underworld by overthrowing his then drug boss. And to top it off, it has one of the best shoot out scenes of all time with Tony Montana shouting "Say Hello to my little". Now that is truly gangster.

The Pursuit of Happyness
Released : 2006
Cast : Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Thandie Newton
This is another movie that i feel really can inspire anyone when they are down and out. Because if you think you got it tough, Think Again. It really shows how if you truly want something in life, no obstacles or difficulties should stop you. But my favourite part of the movie is when Chris Gardner tells his son that " No one has the right to take away your dreams".
Pay it Forward
Released : 2000
Cast : Haley Joel Osmont, Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt
Pay it Forward is a movie based on a book of the same name written by Catherine Ryan Hyde. If everyone on earth was like Trevor Mckinney who is a 11 year old boy, a lot of the suffering in the world would be avoided. The basic idea is then he start a system where he performs good deeds for 3 people and they then in turn do a good deed for 3 other ppl instead. What a simple yet brilliant formula for changing the world. I truly believe this concept is beautiful.
Men of Honor
Released : 2000
Cast :Cuba Gooding Jr, Robert De Niro, Charlize Theron
Yet another true story in this list. This is about how one man " Carl Brashear" becomes the first Navy diver and also defeat the odds to be come the first amputee master diver. This is a position that has less members compared to the Navy Seals. That alone say a lot. It is truly one motivating and touching movie.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Released : 2001, 2002, 2003
Cast : Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Ian Mckellen, John Rhys Davies, Liv Tyler, Hugo Weaving, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Sean Bean, Andy Serkis, Christopher Lee, David Wenham
Damn. Now thats a lot to put in the cast. But have to give credit where credit is due. each member of the cast contributed to the movie adaptation of the book. Eventhough there are lot of stuff that were left out from the book, overall this is one kick ass movie. And who doesn't love the fantasy world. There are just too many things in these movies to say which part was my favourite. But up there would be Boromir's Last Stand. What a killer scene. No pun intended.
Braveheart
Released : 1995
Cast : Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau
I really am not sure how accurate this film is about William Wallace and the scottish fight for independence but it is one kick ass movie. There are some truly memorable moments in this movie. On the lighter side would be the flashing of the asses to the opposing army. But the end scene where William Wallace screams for freedom show a mans undying quest and resolve of a man who will not back down. Truly amazing.
Blow
Released : 2001
Cast : Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz
This movie is just about the live of George Jung. A man who was responsible for bringing cocaine in large amount to the US. It is truly a sad story of a life that could have been anything but the man end a wreck in prison alone. I really am just speechless about this movie. Johnny Depps portrayal was brilliant as always.
