Top Ten Movie Countdown Blogfest!!!
Here’s the sitch…
I tried, really tried, to come up with my Top Ten Movies and the only way to do it was to cheat my ass off and bundle movies into groups or decades.
Since I didn’t want to completely fail at this blogfest I had to change tactics.
So... this is a list of my Top Ten Movies that I get sucked into every time they're on the TV.
It’s so true!
If I see any of these gems in the channel guide I will immediately begin to watch them no matter what I was doing and no matter where in the film it might be!
It’s not my fault!
I'm only human.
Here they are...in no particular order...
***
The Day After Tomorrow
i, Robot
The Matrix
Jurassic Park
The Princess Bride
Forrest Gump
Aliens
Jaws
Independence Day
i, Robot
The Matrix
Jurassic Park
The Princess Bride
Forrest Gump
Aliens
Jaws
Independence Day
Speed

Awesome list, right?
Oh, come now, don't tell me that none of these ever sucked you into a TV black-hole where you found yourself standing in the living room, remote still in hand, totally needing to pee, watching one of these bad boys.
Just me?
Damn.
One last thing...my current favorite movie?
The Avengers.
What about you?
Thank you, Alex, for hosting another great blogfest!
the princess bride - love that movie
ReplyDeleteYou chose some really great ones! I had The Matrix on my list, too.
ReplyDeleteiRobot was one of those films that tested humanity, but from a robot perspective..

Avengers and Princess Bride are on my list too! And though I'm not a horror movie fan, I preferred Aliens out of all the Alien movies as well.
ReplyDeleteYay for The Avengers. And The Princess Bride. Most of the movies on your list are the ones I get sucked into anytime I come across them on cable too.
ReplyDeleteAvengers is leading the pack so far. Great movie and the one I neglected to add to my Top Ten list.
ReplyDeleteI get sucked into The Princess Bride every time. And just watched Jurassic Park again for the fiftieth time because I was sucked in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in my blogfest!
Seriously, I own half of those movies. Great list! :)
ReplyDeleteWe overlapped on three films, and overall I agree with every one of your selections. So hard to narrow it down to just ten! :)
ReplyDeletegreat picks! I loved the avengers, too!

These are good movies!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the majority of your faves at least 20 times, if not more. Way, way more! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHave seen every last one of those films. Got to love Speed and Jurassic Park! :)
ReplyDeleteSpeed. I never seem to get away when I fall over it on the TV.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
ReplyDeleteI think your movie list truly is totally awesome! :)
I will say, probably due to my age, when I think of "The Avengers", I think of that old British TV show I know was shown in North America.
Be well, my friend.
Gary :)
I completely agree with your list! All great movies=)
ReplyDeleteYES. Yes to all of it.
ReplyDeleteMy God I watch a lot of tv O_O
I must be one of the few who was not bowled over by the Avengers.
ReplyDeleteYou have some interesting choices, and definitely are a fan of the summer blockbusters.
I did like Independence Day a lot...would be torn over Alien vs. Aliens.
And you can't go wrong with Jaws!

Funny thing is, I have all these movies in my DVD collection except I, Robot and Jaws. Would love to have both of those in my collection too though :)
ReplyDeletei could totally see why you get suckered into watching speed...you just gotta wonder if they'll ever slowwww downnnnn!! :D
ReplyDeleteTrisha F - Need to check the $5 bin at the WalMarts! I bet you'll find them there.
ReplyDeleteTammy - I know it. It has nothing to do with Keanu!
Thanks for coming. Heather
Hehe, we've all been there, Heather. And apparently there's one movie in the world that does it for both of us ...well, really two, but Princess Bride ended up having to get bumped from my list for Goodfellass...ooh, I should've said "whacked."
ReplyDeleteThat us a very interesting and unique list!
ReplyDeletehe was a the hero...
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love The Avengers?! So awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Nicki - Whacked would have worked too! Great to see you!
ReplyDeleteAndrea - Thank you! Thanks for coming.
Jeremy - It's true. I cried.
Ashley - I only heard one person during this blogfest say they didn't like the Avengers as much as the rest of us. Strange but true.
