Top ten favorite movies...

I've decided to venture into frivolous territory for a little while and list my top ten favorite movies of all time and why I like them so much. Here goes:

10. Mamma Mia!--just went to see this with Mom yesterday, because she and I share a mutual love for the music of ABBA. I didn't know Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan could sing and sing well, and I recognized Amanda Seyfried from the HBO series Big Love.

9. The Other Boleyn Girl--I saw this on my birthday and I also have the book. What can I say? I have a weakness for Natalie Portman with an English accent.

8. Saints and Soldiers--I picked this up on DVD last summer and while I'm not a huge fan of war movies, this one caught my attention because of the subject matter. It's also a good get a group together to watch movie.

7. The Work and the Glory series--I had actually read the books before seeing the three movies, so I had an idea of what to expect. The acting was great but I was a little let down that there was only one LDS actor in it (and that was during the third movie).

6. The Singles Ward--This was the very first LDS comedy I'd been exposed to, and also the first movie I'd seen Kirby Heyborne in. The first time I'd seen it, I laughed so hard I was in TEARS!

5. The Singles 2nd Ward--This was a Christmas gift from one of my friends at church. Another good group to get together to watch movie.

4. The R.M.--This was my second exposure to Kirby Heyborne's acting and the beginning of my fandom of him.

3. The Star Wars saga--I really got into this a couple years ago. What can I say? I'm a late bloomer. Ewan McGregor is a very HOT Obi-Wan Kenobi. *purrs* :)

2. Sons of Provo--An LDS boy band! 'Nuff said. :)

And the number one fave movie of mine for all time is...(drumroll please...)

1. The Lord of the Rings trilogy-extended edition--The perfect way to spend a day off from work, especially if you're sick. Nice to have as background noise when you're trying to recover from the flu (and I should know; I've used it for that purpose a few times). Nice to have Orlando Bloom as the elf to drool over, or even Sean Bean and Viggo Mortensen if you prefer older men. Not to mention the underlying messages in the movies themselves; about tolerance for those different from you, and the damage of war, and the dangers of addiction.

There you have it; my one venture into frivolity for a little while.
