One of my favorite movies has to be the first Pirates of the Caribbean. My personal favorite character, and I am sure many others, is Jack Sparrow. Just the comical action he brings to the movie makes it one of the most enjoyable films I have ever watched. Unlike other movies, Pirates of the Caribbean’s action and plot scenes flow seamlessly together and make the events seem more like random chances then a scheduled plot. I really like that style because it keeps you guessing on what kind of random event might happen next. A perfect example of this is how the movie keeps you guessing whether Jack Sparrow is a hero or a villain until the very end.

                The next three on my favorite movie list have to be the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Ever since I read the books in middle school, I have been completely captivated by the sheer magnitude of story in the movies. The scenery makes it an absolutely spectacular film experience that really draws you into the world of Middle Earth. A movie tops my list when it can get me so involved I forget about the stresses of everyday life. It might sound a little like I am trying to write less for this blog but in all honestly there are not some specific scenes that are my favorite within the 9 hours of footage present in the trilogy. I really do enjoy everything in those movies and cannot pick out one scene as my favorite.

                Finally, if I had to choose another top movie it would be Shrek. At first I actually did not thing that Shrek was that good of a movie but over time it grew on me. The parody of childhood fairytales is like any other of its kind. My favorite aspect of the movie is how the film makers put a non familiar character into a fairytale world. As they did this they turned Shrek himself into a modern day children’s fairy tale along with preserving the classics. This preservation makes the movie sort of like a time capsule for the classics and introducing another generation to the story’s enjoyed by so many other generations.
