Now my number 1 all time favorite movie is...











*Drum Roll*

















1.Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

What can I say, I grew up with Star Wars, my father is a Star Wars fanatic seeing all the sequels in cinema as a child and seeing all the prequels with me as an adult. I have watched the Star Wars saga so many times I have lost count, I have a place in my heart for each of those 6. But to sum it up in one movie and to hold the place for greatest movie ever, it has to go to The Empire Strikes back. Everything about this movie is exceptional in every way.

I could write 60 page essays on this movie. I will do no justice to my liking of this movie by writing about it in this blog. Its that good!

You all know the story, so I'm not going into it. The story is legendary and chains up with all other 5 movies, The characters are superb, feels like they have been with me for a lifetime, acted out perfectly as if they were living thier roles. The directing is excellent, George Lucas is the man and created a beyond a masterpeice film. It has the most memorable scenes and quotes in this movie, my favorite scenes are;

1. The Hoth battle
2. Luke Vs. Darth
3. meeting Master Yoda

Whoever you are I'm sure you have heard of Star Wars. They Truly are magical movies that will be a milestone in cinema to be talked about for thousands of years ahead. Here's the order I would put the 6 in, you already know 2 of them.

1. Empire Strikes Back, 2, Revenge of the Sith, 3. A New Hope, 4. Return Of The Jedi, 5. tie Between The Phantom Menace and Attack Of the Clones.

The Empire Strikes back truly has it all and honors the saga and film. Revenge of the Sith was great but The Force is strong with this one...

That Concludes my Top 11 Films of all time, hope you enjoyed it

Make sure to Read Part 1 if you missed it.

Part 2



3.The Dark Knight (2008)
This may be a cliche among top movie lists, but still this is one top movie, pushing the boundaries of cinema and making a cinematic god of a film. This heavyweight title was a blast from beginning to end. This is truly the ultimate Batman film overshadowing all predecessors and in that fact the ultimate Hero/comic book flick. Christopher Nolan has brought Batman back to its peak following the disaster of the Joel Shumacher movies (also in my "to kill list")

The plot follows the vigilante Batman (Christian Bale) as he follows the chaos and destruction of the anarchist and ultimate arch nemesis of the dark knight...the joker (Heath Ledger), this is the darkest batman movie out and it shows. The roles are acted out perfectly and Heath Ledgers performance is exceptional being the outshine of the bunch. The Cinematography is beautiful giving wide and awesome shots of the recreation of Gotham city. And the music and score is just phenomenal and really gives more weight to the movie. All these factors contribute to the excellence that this movie is, that's why i love it and that's why it deserves the number 3 spot.

2.
Aliens (1986)
James Cameron is a brilliant director not only giving me my number 5 spot but now second place. Aliens is an example of a perfected movie, this is the greatest sequel ever made ( except for my #1 spot ) It gives the perfect mix of horror, action and suspense. I completely love this movie, in my eyes it has no flaws, it is just a perfect movie which I feel cinema has learned and developed off, you could even say games as well like Dead Space.

The plot continues from Ridley Scotts Alien, when contact is lost on the colinized planet LV-426, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and highly trained colonial marines initiate a rescue mission. Sigourney Weaver seriously kicks ass in this movie, every line and facial expression is done perfectly. The story is mindblowing, the twists and turns the plot takes is incredible. The Aliens are so terrifying in this movie and the effects have stood the test of time. This movie is incredible to say the least, I could go on and on about how great the film is...but I think you get the point.

Number 1...Part 3

Enough about games...until Mass Effect 2 of course, pre-ordered and all just to let you know. Time to explore the realm of Cinema, specifically my tastes...Not yours!

Im splitting this blog into 3 parts
Part 1: 11-4
Part 2: 3-2
Part 3: 1

Here it goes, my Top 11 Movies of all time. Why 11?, cause I like to go one step beyond!
In honor of my favorite Movie critic; Doug walker (AKA the Nostalgia Critic)

Part 1.

11.Se7en (1995)
Se7en was just exceptional, it did one hell of a number on me and left me speechless at the end. Its a movie that keeps you alert but vulnerable to any shock that comes along the way. The plot involves two cops hunting for a murderer using the 7 deadly sins as his motives. Its edgy and its dark and really affected me, following a perfect cast as Morgan freeman and Brad Pitt as the investigators. The story is pure genius along the same lines as Death note and Saw.

10.
Bladerunner (1982)
Bladerunner is amazing, this movie presents a haunting depiction of LA in a punk future, Corruption and fear spread the city as all respectable beings have fled to off world colonies leaving all the scum and villainy on earth to rot, Harrison Ford plays a Bladerunner a bounty hunter specializing in killing Replicants, artificial humans programmed to serve. Something about this movie seemed so Dark and even chilling, it presents themes like what it means to be human and what is the meaning of life in an evil reality. The cinematography is mind blowing, every shot is dark and bland with rain immersing you in the feel of hopelessness among the people. Even though this movie is a tad dated, it is still a movie the proves movies get better with age.

9.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of the Sith (2005)
Let me explain, This movie was Excellent and seriously was so much better than I had anticipated, The story is complete Hysteria and showed the downfall of Anikan Skywalker and how he turned to the dark side of the force. You know why I love this movie so much, cause when comparing this to the first 2, this is a masterpiece. The first 2 weren't THAT bad even though 2 characters from the movies made it on my "To kill list" (one small annoying boy and one CGI alien) its just that they did no justice to the sequels which Episode 3 did. In all seriousness this was a well done movie I will always cherish

8.Lost In Translation (2003)
This Movie is just so unique, it keeps you thinking, even now as I'm writing I'm still thinking about it, Bill Murray plays a depressed middle aged married man tied down by life who goes on a business trip to Japan(perfect setting much) to shoot commercials for this foreign city, and in the midst of loneliness meets Charlotte played by Scarlett Johansson who is a neglected wife searching for life's answers. This isn't a romantic love story, its like a life experience through connections. I was so surprised how much I liked this movie. Its a movie I can relate with and in which defys the moral principals in set. I love this movie and whats not to love; Japan, Scarlett, dialogue, its all there.

7.Back To the Future (1985)
Pure Entertainment, this movie is just so enjoyable and fun. Micheal J Fox plays Marty McFly a 80's teenager sent back to the 1950's by a time machine built by his mad scientist friend, Dr.Emmet Brown played by Christopher Lloyd where both performances are so brilliant they provided me with plenty of laughs and acted this movie out so well. The whole premise is so smart and witty involving the space time continuum and contrasting the past to the future, where Marty accidentally prevents his parents from ever meeting leaving is whole existence at stake. And surprisingly the story adds up quite well with little to no plot holes. This movie is a classic and will never get old.

6.Saving Private Ryan (1998)
This film is a genuine masterpiece, no words can really describe the intense feelings I felt through this film, The film showed the dirty realism of World war 2, the realistic violent way Spielberg portrays this film makes the messages he sends very powerful. The camera work is inspiring adding more weight to the story, Tom Hanks plays Captain Miller who he and his band of US soldiers travel across enemy infested territory in Normandy to rescue a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action. This is tom hanks finest film and it shows

5.Avatar (2009)
Ok, ok this is kinda naive for me, I feel bad for placing this film so high since its pretty recent, but truly this was a fantastic movie,I'm a fan of James Cameron so I knew that it would be good, but not this good. Its a revolutionary movie not only visually spellbinding but how the world JC created feels living and breathing is amazing. The story and characters revolve around Jake Sully who travels to a planet called Pandora to negotiate with natives using Avatars. Its clear that this is a instant classic and alot of effort was put into this. Not only was this a great movie but an amazing experience.

4.Watchmen (2009)
I cant tell you enough how much I like this movie, I was always a fan of the graphic novel having read it quite a number of times. The movie is very faithful to the comic having very little differences besides the ending. The Characters are the best Ive seen in any movie each having a psychological flaw, each actor playing the role perfectly for the movie. The movie is set in 1985, the threat of nuclear annihilation is in notion, a former colleague of the vigilante Rorshach is killed which sends him to uncover the truth, unraveling conspiracy's along the way. The directing and screenplay is terrific and it looks so good. The movie questions justice and right and wrong, and what it means to really save the world in a alternate 1985.
