I started watching movies (grown up movies, mind you) at the age of 7 years old. I can remember as far back as being 5 or 6 years old sitting in my mothers lap watching Friday the 13th (on Friday the 13th.) It was a tradition. I use to pretend I was the screen writer for whatever movie I was obsessed with at the time. I use to rewrite certain parts of it in my own words. I started doing this around the age of 10.
I started this out by only listing 50 of them but I couldn't leave out any so I just kept on going. I stopped at an odd number but I just couldn't put a limit on it. Every single one of these movies contributed to my love and passion for them. Every one of these movies, no matter how cheesy, silly or dumb, I have watched over and over and never got tired of. Some you may have heard before...others you may not. Hope you guys have time because this is going to be a long one! I wrote this with intentions that you guys would enjoy this just as much as you all did the post I wrote listing my all time favorite horror movies. And would you believe that there is not one single horror movie listed in this post. Thrillers - yes. Horror - No.
Enjoy!

Hope you have enjoyed my List Honoring
some of the best movies of all time.
Have I left out any that has always followed
you throughout the years? If so leave me some I may have forgotten in the comment section below! Looking forward to your feedback!
Nice list! I am still totally obsessed with Andrew McCarthy. If I'd been born just a touch earlier, he could have been mine!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, very nice list. You certainly have a grasp of 80s and 90s movies, though I think I would have been able to grasp this better if they'd been in alphabetical order...so many movies
