Movies!

So, I totally stole this idea from a Facebook friend's status today but I felt like it would make for a good blog.  And what kind of blogger would I be if I wasn't constantly on the lookout for new topics for my blog?  That's right, I wouldn't be a blogger!  By now I bet all your faithful readers are on the edge of your seats waiting to know what this exciting edition of my blog will be about, yes all three of you matter to me :)
Anyway, the status on Facebook was, "Pick 5 movies you would have to have if you were stranded on an island and just so happen to have a DVD/VHS/Blue Ray or some other contraption to play movies.  Well, I got to brainstorming and I have come up with my five movies.  To some of you they may not be much of a surprise.  I have put them in order by my absolute favorite first.

1.  The Notebook.  I feel like this is a pretty obvious choice for me.  I have seen this movie more times than I can count.  Whenever I start to feel pessimistic about love I pop in The Notebook.  Also, Ryan Gosling is my soul mate he just doesn't know it yet.  One of my all time favorite movies...Once I watched three separate times in one week.  Being trapped on an island, it may be nice to know that somewhere love still exists.  Yes, I will be sappy but, "If you're a bird, I'm a bird."  "It still isn't over"  "We fight"

2.   Lonesome Dove.  Another quite obvious choice.  One of the best Western movies ever to have been made.  Well technically, it is a television series but on a deserted island it is 6 hours worth of movie that will keep me intrigued.  Also, Lonesome Dove is my favorite movie to watch when I am incredibly sick.  It really helps to pass the day away.  Also, Gus, played by Robert Duvall is my favorite character.  Not to mention that 19 year old Rick Schroder is easy on the eyes :) One of the best scenes

3.  Tombstone.  Yes I know, it is another Western.  But hey, this is my list...NOT YOURS.  One of the reasons this is on my list to have with me while I'm stranded on an island is the memories of the movie.  One Christmas break when I was probably 9 or 10 I got up and put Tombstone in.  Then Allie, got in bed and was watching it with me.  And a little bit later, Tony, who was home from Wyoming on Christmas break climbed into bed with us and we all watched it together.  My favorite scene is with Doc Holliday:  "I'm your Huckle Bearer"

4.  Bridesmaids.  Just saw this movie the other night and I fell in love with it.  I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.  This probably won't be on my favorite movie list in like five years.  But right now if I was on an island I would want it to make me laugh hysterically.  The car scene is my favorite and I laughed until I cried, but here is the trailer to watch.  Bridesmaids   Absolutely adding it to my movie collection!

5. Okay, this is where things become difficult... I couldn't pick just one movie.  So I picked several.  All of which I can recite incredibly long portions of the script.  When these movies come on, you can bet I'm watching.  And I know, I said only five but, I feel like I could substitute any of these in on any given day.  Here they are :) (also they are all links to my favorite scenes)  Titanic / Signs / The Goonies /  Harry Potter /  Finding Nemo /  Beauty and the Beast / To Kill A Mockingbird / Wizard of Oz / Field of Dreams / Sweet Home Alabama

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my movies... I know I sure do.  I'm actually going to pop in The Notebook or Sweet Home Alabama right meow.

Until we meet again blogosphere :)
