M is for Movies

I love movies. I like them action packed, chick flicks, comedies, classics, documentaries, indies, martial arts, thought provoking--you name it. I like the theater experience--in the darkness, big screen and popcorn--or at home in a cozy blanket. I like watching movies with friends or alone. Heck--whenevah!

Like books, we share a human experience through film. We learn something from every movie--it's a communication and an art. Discovery, exploration, expression and sometimes catharsis!
I don't have a "favorite" list-- that's too hard. But I will list some movies that I really enjoyed a lot --for various reasons.

1. Moulin Rouge-- the music!
2. The Mission-- epic, and heart wrenching
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-- quirky, thought provoking
4. About a Boy-- made me smile, made me think
5. Jane Eyre (2011)-- good adaption of a great book
6. Star Wars--because it is awesome
7. War of the Buttons--fun and adorable
