Movies That Move Me

Recently, I was asked to list five favorite movies. Not necessarily my top five, you understand, just five favorite movies. And to put the list in writing.

I fretted over this for daayysss. Somehow, my brain would not allow me just to choose five movies I really, really liked. Oh, no. I had to come up with my five favorite movies. My anxiety level increased steadily for more than a week.

Finally, I made my decisions. I wrote them on the back of a postcard and sent the card on it's way to China. (I'll explain all that in a future post).

As soon as the postcard was gone, I started thinking of other movies that I should have put on the list. I know I've reached ten by now, but I haven't been writing them down, so who knows? Evidently not me!

So here are my five that are in the top ten. But I don't really have a most favorite, 2nd favorite, etc., so they aren't in any order.

Journey to Shiloh, 1968

James Caan, Harrison Ford, Michael Sarrazin,

Jan-Michael Vincent, Paul Peterson, Don Stroud

The Breakfast Club, 1985

Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald,

Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez

 Cinderella, 1965

Lesley Ann Warren, Stuart Damon,

Ginger Rogers, Celeste Holm, Walter Pidgeon

Inception, 2010

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Lukas Haas

 12 Angry Men, 1957

So many of these wonderful actors and actresses are gone now.

But I remember you.
