Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God
Five of my favorite movies (in no particular order):
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Benny and Joon
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
The Tourist (remake)
Skyfall
Thank you, Lord, for all the creative gifts you give. May each one using those gifts realize from whom they came. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Hmmm..will have to give it some thought. I can’t think of five. My runaway favorite is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. That’s the movie I’d want with me if stranded on the proverbial deserted island.
I was always a TV watcher more than a movie watcher. Always enjoy re-watching the Wizard of Oz. Even the western genre, which is my favorite, I haven’t seen many movies of.
In recent years the Kendrick brothers have been doing a good job with movies like Courageous and the recently released Overcomer.

I’m thrilled that the Kendrick brothers are starting to make good Christian films. I’d love to say and hope to add someday a Christian film to my favorites list. I loved the raw honesty and pure professional production of The Passion of the Christ. It was superb, but to say it was a favorite – and this is strictly for me – is like saying I could enjoy watching Jesus getting crucified again. However, I have friends who watched it over and over again and others who could barely make it through the initial watch.

Oh, I love The Wrath of Khan and Wizard of Oz! I own a copy of The Passion, but haven’t been able to convince myself to watch it. Someday …
These five are in my top 10 probably, but that list is every changing depending upon my mood!
1) Gone With the Wind
2) Ever After
3) Galaxy Quest
4) The Avengers
5) Captain America – Winter Soldier
6) Captain America – Civil War
7) Avengers: Infinity War
8) Avengers: Endgame
9) Iron Man
Oops! Got a little carried away there. I just couldn’t choose a favorite among my Marvel movies, so I began to list them all!

Hahaha! List away, Bren!
You owe it to yourself to watch The Passion, Bren. I know: when you’re ready. It’s so well done. I saw it twice right after it came out. Then purchased it and never watched it again.

Nicole, you don’t have a thing for a guy named, Johnny, do you??
Okay, I like the Bourne movies, so I’m just listing the whole set as one. That’s fair, right?
While you were sleeping
Last of the Mohicans (with Daniel Day Lewis)
The Patriot
Kate and Leopold (or just about anything with Hugh Jackman)
The Horseman on the Roof (French movie, so I get to read and watch)

Who, me? Hahaha! (Edward Scissorhands; From Hell; Secret Window; etc.)
There’s a story behind all of this which I’ll be happy to share with you if you’re interested.
Loved the Bourne movies – and, yes, I’ll accept the set as one ;). I almost listed them but went for Skyfall instead. I’ll add Blow Up – an older film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave.
