MY Top Ten "Favourite" Movies

Yes, I know, Conrad has already done this. But i saw a couple of the comments and was about to say, "everyone is entitled to their own oppinion about movies" but i decided that a couple on the list would not have been my choice picks either. So i decided to share another list of my own. This could be considered as my own addition to conrad's list or as an individual list by myself of movies that in my oppinion should have a mention. They are not really in any particular order.

10) Top Gun: I used to love watching this movie when I was around about.... 9 or somethin... Mainly because it was this movie that made me want to be a fighter pilot. But a simple yet effective Tom Cruise classic had to make the list and probably much to some people's disgust. Mixed with fast flying, buzzing the tower and explosions, this is definitely a movie to see before you die.

9) Into the Blue: Though not a really well known movie, but thinking of how movies has influenced my career choices has made me think of how this has influenced what will probably be my final future career. Filled with sharks, treasure and gold as well as a full camera view of leftover leg after a tiger shark had a nibble makes this movie one of my favourites. Plus Jessica Alba is epic in this film!!! :D

8) Jaws: Now we are on the subject of sharks, this is also a series (bunch of far fetched movies) that you must see before you die. Filled with great underwater photography of real sharks and many other interesting mechanical crap and weird story lines, I think it is a must see.

7) James Bond 007: The best Bond movies are not the latest ones. To be real honest, the best is Die Another Day. Daniel Craig is doing an OK job as being Bond, but the storyline is absolutely horrific. What is with the new drink? No vodka martini, Shaken not stirred? The cars are a bit on the odd side and the storyline itself has been made to go back to when he was made an agent yet "M" is still the same woman as in Die Another Day (Pierce Brosnan as Bond). Tsk Tsk... Yet still a set of movies that you must see.

6) Harry Potter: Deserved some sort of mention even though the latest movie was not the greatest (in my oppinion). I would say its because they want to make the last 2 movies AWESOME. Still, watch and read!

5) Dark Knight: I think this was a really good movie Tom. Sorry. Good on you Connie for it being on your list ;)

4) Transformers: Awesome set of movies! I loved the latest one and I think it was better than the first. It had a really good storyline and great camera work etc. The music was somehow epic but I dunno how... ;)

3) Ghost Rider: Another good movie with Nicholas Cage in it. Ghost Rider was a pretty good adaptation from Marvel and I particularly love it on BLU-RAY!!!

2) Underworld: Deserved a mention because the latest movie (prequel) was actually a really good movie. After seeing it, I watched the first two and everything tied itself together.

1) Shooter: Running out of movies to think of but I really like this film... Always respected Snipers in general and considered being a sharpshooter but I don't have the money to get myself into shooting as a sport. The cost is out of this world just for a scope...

0.5) Iron Man: I forgot Iron Man!!! He is epic and I have squeezed him onto my list by defying counting down from ten :P
