Ten?

What are your top ten favorite movies?

How to choose ten movies?

I can’t imagine putting these in any order,  and they won’t be profound or too subtle. I’m a sucker for weepy films, but I like interesting ones too.

1, Always, a fire fighter crashes his plane and dies, then haunts his girlfriend as she finds a new love.

2. Close encounters of the third kind. Friendly aliens arrive on Earth and one man gets to go off with them.

3. The theory of everything. The story of the life of Sir Stephen Hawking.

4.Its a beautiful life. The tale of how a man’s life was changed for the better, and how Clarence earned his wings!

5. Harvey. Where is that giant white rabbit?

6. How to train your dragon. The original animated film of the book by Cresdida Cowell.

7. The sound of music, a nunnery, a governess, love and escape from the Nazis.

8. Ring of bright water. A story of otters, watched as a child.

9. Hidden figures, the story of how 3 African American women were working for NASA. They were deeply involved in the Moon landings and beyond.

10. Lawrence of Arabia. I saw it years ago and fell in love with Peter O’Toole.

That was quite painless. Tomorrow I might choose differently.

  1. Lawrence of Arabia — I saw it when I was 10. That was it for me. Peter O’Toole was lovely but the idea of a wild adventure in the desert? I read Seven Pillars of Wisdom and The Desert Revolt and every biography I could find. The best was a book I read a few years ago, The Desert and the Sown by Gertrude Bell.
