Recently in Mr. Noto's room I noticed a list of the Top 100 movies of all time. Inspired by this list, I began a list of my favorite 100 movies of all time. One of my top sports movies is Miracle, which is the story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie for several reasons. I am easily annoyed by overly exciting or unrealistically portrayed sports action scenes. I much prefer to see the action as it was, and the movie Miracle steers clear of exaggerating the action.
What is one of your favorite movies? What about it do you particularly enjoy? Make sure to use a few adverbs in your response!

one of my favorate movies is called cloverfield. its about a monster that destroys New york city. it dose'nt sound realistic but the whole movie is captured on a hand camra so it's very diferent from other monster movies.

My most favorite movie in the whole world is The Persuit of Happyness. The movie is about a guy who lived on the edges of poverty with his son. They would sleep in subway terminals an the men's bathroom just to save money. Anyways, he turns his life around when he applies for a job as a stock broker and then the position manager tells him he has been excepted to go to paid training. He excells and is able to have his own cubicle before everyone else in training. I don't want to give away the end but you should really see this awsome movie!!!

One of my favorite movies is the Harry Potter searies because it is always thrilling to watch and enjoyible. It also is very cool to see the spells and the creaturs that they put in so it will always be my favorite movie to watch.

One of my favorite movies would be Marly and Me......i cannot decide which i like better so I will tell you about 8 below too. Marly and me is a very good and fasinating movie because they make you fell like you are growing up with marly.Also when you feel like you know the dog when the sad ending happens it makes it that much more dreary. 8 below is a movie I watched not to long ago and it is a bit far fetched because the sled dogs wouldnt have made it off their chain but I still love those two movies..

I think that one of my favorite movies of all times is either Flyboys, Saving Private Ryan, or The new Star Trek movie. What I really like about them is that Flyboys really talked about what it would be like to fly in a plane and what they are like in WW I. Saving Private Ryan is mostly about the D-day landings and how much likely you would survive in the first wave and about some of the after days of D-day. Star Trek is a really cook sci-fi movie and what space battles might be like.

One of my favorite movies is "Miracle on 34th Street." My family and I love watching it every year. What makes re-watching this movie enjoyable is the marvelous acting and gorgeous scenery. The actors seem to move naturally across the screen, and the scenes proceed seamlessly. The scene I love the best is when little Susan jumps for joy when she sees the house that she receives. The delight on her face is so much fun to watch. The whole entire movie is incredible! I would recommend this movie in a heartbeat.
I often change my favorite movies and right now the two at my list are Up and The blind side .I enjoyed Up because it was hilarious with lots of funny lines and so enormously impossible you could never guess what happens next. I also think that it is a movie that you can watch again and again in a very short period of time and still find it funny. I liked the blind Side because it was based on a true story and it made you beleive that it really happened and almost as if your there. (I almost cried. )Also the actors were extrermly good and it made you beleive in the power of one and how all acts of kindness pay off.

I don't really have a favorite movie, but some movies I thourghly enjoy are the Harry Potter series, and Star Trek. I like these movies because they are action packed and not to sad. I don't like sad movies because if they are sad enough I will cry.

My favorite movie would have to be Sherlock Holmes. My reason for selecting this movie is because of the great humor, mystery and, amazing fight scenes. The reason I liked the fight scenes was because in his head he explained the cause and effect of each blow before he did it. I was fond of the humor because of how even though it took place in the late 1800s the humor is still funny.
I have not been to the movie theater for what feels like an extremely elongated amount of time, although the last time being perhaps about three months ago. I also do not give much thought to which movie I think is my favorite, nor would I very much like to because there are likely a good handful that I have seen, perhaps only a few of which have been considered "good" by myself and others. Also, even though so simple of a question, I find it particularly difficult and irritating to answer.
When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was the animated Anastasia. The animation was very beautiful, and I used to love to watch it when it was winter, when night had fallen outside, and when the snow was the prettiest when it fell. I used to love watching it at this point of time because I have this odd, misplaced vision or memory of being outside while it was dark, and there being street lights making purple, blue, and orange reflections on the snow. And this memory I do not relate much to anything, only the movie and a few of the songs that are played in it (because many animated movies, especially those that are Disney, included in them are songs that the main characters usually perform, although Anastasia is not a Disney production). The image is also so cozy because I do not think much of it being at all related to the cold and bitter nights of winter.
About the animated movie Anastasia, I also like the slight hint of history/mystery in it, although it is mostly based on fable because I do not believe any man sold his soul for an ancient relic that sent forth green-like demons and bugs to destroy the Russian princess's family, although it is fun to believe so. I also agree with how antique everything in the movie seems -- I like dusty books, ceramics, and old parchment paper.

One of my favorite movies is The Game Plan. The Game Plan is about a star NFL quarterback whose daughter comes to his house to live with him. He never even knew that he had a daughter. It is interesting that he starts out as a selfish, cold guy. When his daughter comes, he surprisingly learns how to not be selfish. He turns out to be a warm, caring guy. In one of the parts, he does ballet clumsily. I like that part because he is the biggest one in the class. While he is in the class, his cell phone rings loudly and he pulls it out and starts talking. The teacher got really mad. It is a football movie but it is also about a family. I thought it was great and extremely well done. If I had to rate it on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the best, I would give it a 10.
One of the best movies that I have ever seen was..... THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!!! It is an action- packed movie about global warming. It was definitely the coolest movie I've seen that could happen in real life. I think it is exaggerated, but thats what makes it awesome! In the movie 7 tornados destroy Hollywood, a huge sunami floods New York City, a giant hurricane starts on land, and an ice age covers the entire northern hemisphere!! Those are just a fraction of my favorite advenures in this movie! If you dont want to see this movie you are a WEIRDO! Alex W period 5
One of my favorite movies is Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince. I liked this movie because it did well at acting out the story of Harry Potter and the halfblood prince. There were some very exciting and action-packed scenes in this movie, which kept me enthralled. All these scenes went by quickly, and excitedly in the movie. I also like the fact that the characters look how you would picture them if you read the story. Also, each scene seem realistic to me. Harry Potter and the half blood prince is a great movie and I would recommend seeing it. It is also a great book. So before you see the movie, you might want to read the book.

I really don't have a favorite movie, but I do like football movies. Remember the Titans is a great football movie. I like it beacuse it teaches that whatever you look like you are equal. The first time is saw it was last year and I loved it. It is also is really funny at certain times. It is hard to belive that people were that treated that poorly in the 70's.
I also love The Game Plan. It is hilarious. It also has it also is extremely heart warming. I like it because Peyton Kelly (Madison Pettis) turnes her father Joe Kingman's (Dwayne Johnson) world upsidedown.
My favoeite movie is Return of the Living Dead 5 Rave to the Grave. I frequently wathc this every week. My favorite part is when Jeramy sticks his pinkie into the jar nof the stuff that was in the cannister of stuff that turns people into zombies (but they don't know that yet).He starts to freak out but he doesn't turn into a zombie.....yet.

Overall, currently I have two favorite "movies". The first is actually an HBO miniseries called "Band of Brothers". I like it because it is extremely packed with historical information. It is all true, based on an actual company in WWII called "Easy Company." At the beginning and end of each episode, the actual solidiers who are portrayed in the series discuss what the War was really like. In the series the special effects are extraordinarily realistic for 2000. The series motto is that 'they started fighting for their country and they ended up fighting for eachother.' It clearly expresses that war isn't about glory. It shows the crucial decisions made and the emotional and devastating impacts of war. Characters you get to like can instantly be tragically killed. Since overall it is 10 hrs long you understand what it was like for the living soldiers when the soldiers die and how they felt emotionally devastated. You also are able to see others act heroically. The series covers the soldiers timidly jumping airborne at Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge through to the valiant capture of Hilter's Eagles Nest.
The other movie is "District 9." It is an alien movie, but it is not your normal one. There are alot of underlying themes which are very deep. An alien spaceship completely loses its energy over South Africa and the aliens are starving. Humans start off on a rescue mission to save the aliens. However, they put them in an area called District 9. At first this was supposed to be a quarantine. It ended up turning out to be more like a prison camp. One of the very interesting parts of this movie is that it is almost like an alien version of the trail of tears/holocaust. It shows how the humans attitudes changed dramatically when the aliens didn't happily conform to the ways humans thought they should act. It also shows that main character who at first treats the aliens ghastly - like "things"- slowly changes his view and personality when he begins to learn more. (I don't want to give the story away). The aliens are not human and are treated worse than animals. It also shows how the humans are just killing the aliens almost for sport at times, and experimenting on the aliens for financial gain. The humans take the bodies and to perform horrific testing because the aliens have special weapons that can only be used by someone with their DNA make up. Even if you don't get the deeper themes, on the superficial level the movie is incredibly enjoyable as a fun alien action movie.

my favoeite movie is called glory road. I love it because it shows how african americnas were diarespected back in the 50's and 60's. I love how they come from the small school of Texas southern and start 5 african americans and beat adolph rupp who was very pregitous and his Kentucky team.

I truly don't go to the movies so I truly don't have a favrite but if i were to pick it probably be the new jackie chan movie mostly because it's really funny and totally action packed.
One of my favorite movies os I Am Legend. I liked it because of its suspensefulness and its action pack scenes and the story that make you on the edge of your seat. Thomas Period 1
I have alot of favorite movies, and one i really like is I am Legend, this movie is about a virus of what they thought cured cancered that actually infected all of Manhattan and turned its hosts into zombie like creatures. After three years, there is only one man left in New York city and he is trying to find a cure. I liked this movie because there are scary parts, sad parts, and happy parts. although the story line is kind of grim, there were parts of it that mad me happy. I thought the movie was amazing because they had to make the streets of New York look deserted and abandoned, to do this they had to use special effects of the street normally and alter it to look different. Throughout the movie, the lighting and filming was really nicely done and well put together. Something about how quiet and calm the city was really made the movie scarier, and then they had scenes of zombies jolt out from random places, with screaming and crying. I won't give it away, but there was a very suprising ending to it also. This movie actually came out in 2008 but it is still one of my favorite movies. I would recommend it to anyone who likes movies that are scary, but have inspiring parts that make people feel like there is hope, even when it may not seem like it.

I have three favorite movies
1)Scary Movie 1 because it's funny, but some parts are discusting.
2)Hoot because it shows how building resturants like Ihop isn't always a good thing because you could be building it over animals.
3)The Dark Knight. I don't know why I like that movie, but I just do.

My favorite movie is Ferris Bulers Day off. It was made in the 80s and is about a clever boy who comes up with ways to skip school and almost gets caught doing it. He does everthing you could do when you are not in school. It is a funny movie with a good ending.
Jimmy Period 3
My favorite movie are Hotel Rwanda. Hoel Rwanda ia a movie that takes place in Africa there are rival groups called Tutsi and Hutu The main character is Pual and is Hutu but his wife is a tutsi. He manages a hotel called Sabena Hotel des Mille. As the government turns into anti-Tutsi his wife and family are in danger of being killed. Pual comes home one day and finds that his wife is hiding several families and relatives in there homes, because the Tutsi being found are being killed and cruely beaten. (note this is not a fictional movie,there are all sorts of events that happen every day.)This movie inspired me to completly apreciate how lucky we are to have a government that we are not in life threatening situations every day.
My second favorite movie is called the untouchables and takes place in the 1950's in Chacago when the mobster Al Capone ownes about all the companys, and basically the police work for him to. A man named Elliot tries to put this ruthlewss person into jail.

I really like 17 again but I also like the Harry Potter series. 17 again is a funny movie, it is about a grown man who wishes he could relive his senior year and can kept his family together. Harry Potter is just a moive I have been watchinng for years, its a magical world with wisards and witches and dark magic and good magic. They are both great to me. If I had to chose one
I would chose the Harry Potter series. KatieF Per 5
Usually I just watch the same old movies over and over again. I haven't been to a movie theater in I don't know when. They always scared me though, movie theaters.
I really can't think of what my
favorite movie is right now. I don't really have a favorite movie, so instead I shall just pick a movie that comes randomly into my head.
I remember two years ago that this movie came on called Howl's Moving Castle. It was on constantly. Me and my sister Eleanor watched it every single time it came on (which was around 9 times). I don't remember what animation it had. I like to imagine it having beautiful animation, but I don't really remember. I do remember that it was an anime, though not quite. They always showed it either them speaking English with Japanese subtitles or vice versa. But it always had subtitles.
It was extremely interesting. The main character was this young girl who was changed into an old lady then tries to break the spell. Not a very detailed description nor a good one(it makes it sound very boring and stale) but I don't want to spoil it for you who read this.
I read the book this year at the library and it was wonderful. The author (I forget her name) is a wonderful writer. It's exactly what I thought it would be.
I love both the movie and the book, which is rare for me.

My favorite movie is Sherlock Holmes because it has some interesting special effects and it has some off everything like drama and action and humor.

My two favorite moves are Avatar and The Blind Side. Avatar is my favorite move because the effect would just take away anyones breath. The people of pandora were so amazing they had blue cat striped tails with a brown puff of fur.
I liked the move The Blind Side because I love moves that tell true stories about peoples lives that turn around. This move was exactly that and it also has action. My family all loved it and many more people too.

One of my favorite movies is Avatar. What I particularily enjoyed about that movie was that it had the most beautiful colors in it I thought. It was extraordinarily done.

Well I think my favorite movie ever is SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. It was such an amazing movie. It is about a boy from the slums of India who goes on India's version of who wants to be a millionaire. He gets the answers right and is accused of cheating. He then must tell his life story to prove why an unedicated slumdog knew the answers. I love this movie because many of the themes are real problems in the world, it is also a interesting one. Not like your average movie. My favorite part is the music. Its absoulty incredible. Great energy fun bollywood. Best sound track of the year.

My favorite movie is The Blob. The
Blob is a 1950s "horror" movie.
I love this movie beause it is trying to be scary but ends up being a hilarious and very cheesy movie. It is a B class movie. I also like The Blob theme song.
Below is the link to The Blob theme song.

One good movie that I saw due to my father was Enimey Mine. It portrayed a human and alien were forced to put aside their differences for their survivle on a hostile unknown planet. In the end, the alien gave birth and died, however, the human raised the alien's child as his own son. And broke the barrior between the two speices.

I cant decide what my favorite movie is but one movie that I liked was Role Models. Its about two friends who work for a energy drink company and do shows at schools to tell kids not to use drugs. But at one of the schools they go crazy from drinking the energy drinks and vandilieses the school. The two either have to spend time in prison or take care of a certain kid given to each of them, but if mess up they have to go to jail. It is a funny a creative movie.

I love movies,I am easily entertained. So I have two favorite movies, the first is Remember the Titans and the other one is Rocky. In the end I think that I like Rocky better. I love this movie because Rocky worked really hard to earn his money and to be a star and earn it all himself. This is a true story of a pro boxer who grew up not very wealthy. His father was an Italian Immigrant. He came to America for a better life but found it very hard. He worked in a shoe factory. The shoe factory was very dangerous. When Rocky was about 9 he promised that he would not have to work there. Rocky started out just boxing people in his home town and then he worked his way up to the pros. Rocky is known for his right punch (its a killer, literally!) Rocky accidentally killed a person with his famous right punch. He felt really bad and almost stopped boxing. His idol, Joe Leous kept him going. It's all about how you should work hard and keep going and you will have success. There is a line in the movie when Rocky's dad is telling Rocky when he was a kid his dad said "a boy spends and a man saves." I think that is very deep and a really good point. I like this movie a lot.

I do not really have a favorite movie but I did like the movie Saving Private Ryan. The movie is about WW II and I think that war was extremely awesome. The movie was action packed and it showed what it was really like in the battlefield of war. I particularly enjoyed that it had some great battle scenes and a very good story line. I loved the whole movie because it showed how the battles of Normandy, and other battles were actually fought. An extremely sad part of the movie that I enjoyed because it helped me learn what it was like for the parents, was when some of the parents who sent their children to fight in the war found out that one of their kids got killed. One of the other really sad things in the movie was when a veteran went to Arlington Cemetery, he saw the names of some of his old friends who had died in battle on one of the white crosses.

~KARA~ P3
My favorite movie was Avatar. I like it because it has a combinattion of drama and some comedy. Many people believe that the movie was a relation to Native Americans. The movie is about the humans, who have ruined their planet come to Pandora. Pandora is a planet already inhabited by a tribe, but full of resources, including a mineral that is worth $20,000 dollars a kilogram. A soldier named Jake Sully uses a machine to get into a body that looks like a body of one of the tribe members, in order to negotiate with the tribe. It is a great experience, and I highly recommend it -Vaughan 5
My favorite movies are The Dark Knight, Transformers 1&2, and Toystory 1&2. i like the Dark Knight because i have always enjoyed the Batman vs. The Joker contraversy, I like the Transformers Movies because it has alot of action and some parts are quite funny. and last but not least, Toy Story 1&2, i have enjoyed these two movies ever since i was very young.

One of my favorite movies that I would like to pun into this Blog comment would be P.s I love you because it was very sad and touching, it was about these two lovers that had been together for a long time and the man had a tumer in his head and had only so many days to live. He told his engaged girlfriend about what was going on but he said he wouldnt die and it was giong to be over with even though he knew what was going to happen so he wrote all these notes that came into the mail after he died to make everything better and stuff because the women was devistated about what happened but yeah I love romantic comedys and you should deffinitly go and see p.s i love you because it is a very well movie!
