Movie List
So it’s about that time of the year again when family and friends start calling you randomly and sending you emails asking about your holiday wish list. Well, at least with my family it’s like this. Throughout the year I always seem to find really cool electronics or toys or equipment that I would love to have, but when the holiday season rolls around, I always seem to draw a blank and can’t remember what any of them were, and thus, my list is empty. I’m sure this happens to many people besides myself, including my own family and friends that I’m purchasing gifts for. The only thing worse than having to search countless hours for a gift to buy someone, who doesn’t have a list or hasn’t given you any ideas, is to surprise them with something they absolutely hate. It’s happened to everyone, both on the gift giving side and the receiving end. What I’ve learned from all of this, is that you can never go wrong with a good DVD. No matter who you are, everyone enjoys the time to relax and watch a good, quality movie. In my quest to help you buy a DVD for that special someone, I have listed my 5 favorite movies off all time. Because I too have trouble buying gifts, I would love to hear your top 5. Here it goes…
1. American History X (1998) - Edward Norton, Edward Furlong
2. Dumb and Dumber (1994) - Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels
3. Blow (2001) - Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz
4. Shawshank Redemption (1994) - Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman
5. 21 Grams (2003) - Sean Penn, Naomi Watts
Others that almost cracked the list would include:
Back to the Future, Dazed and Confused, Memento, Seven, and Die Hard
Comment, critique and post your own listing.
