Top Ten Movie Countdown BlogFest

Ninja Captain Alex is hosting the...

And I decided to participate.  A true countdown requires ranking, but I cannot, in all fairness, truly rank these.  The rankings would change with the wind.  These are ten OF my favorites today.  Listed in no particular order, they are...

 Lord of the Rings trilogy (duh!)

The Two Towers was my favorite movie, but the Mines of Moria was my favorite scene.

Star Trek (the entire gambit)

But nobody does bad as good as Ricardo Montalban does.

Star Wars (yeah, all six!)

Let's hear it for the Wookie!!

The Avengers

I don't believe they could have done a better job with this movie.

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars

I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this. I so miss the series.

Serenity (The Firefly movie)

From a series that died before its time. Not shiny!

Merlin

Several Merlin/Camelot adaptations vied for this slot; Sam Neill's portrayal won.

The Bourne Series (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum)

Not Sci-Fi/Fantasy, but close enough. My favorite changes with time.

A Knight's Tale

This one starred an actor that died before his time.

The Sixth Sense

The best thing (IMHO) Bruce did after Moonlighting.

I have watched these movies so many times.  I can quote way too much from way too many of them, and there is much within them worth quoting.

Any of these make your Top Ten list?

Twenty-seven years of marriage and still dating...

Yep, took the wife to the movies Friday.  Watched, of course, The Avengers.  (Was anything else showing?)  The wife did a lot of grinning.  (Me thinks she found all those muscles and all that testosterone appealing.)

I had high expectations going into it.  They've been building to this for quite some time now.  I braced myself  for disappointment, but doing so was unnecessary.  The movie was really good!  Lots of action.  Lots of strong characterization.  Fantastic humor.  This is one I can recommend to any who like action.

And as always, the popcorn was to die for, the weight of which increases in direct proportion to the amount of butter in which it floats.  Everything's better with butter!  And I'm getting somewhat accustomed to wearing 3D glasses and eye glasses all at the same time.

Life is grand!
