Top 50 FAVORITE Movies #7,6, and 5

Before I go into my 7th, 6th, and 5th favorite movies, I would just like to update you on the best night of my job which was last night.

For those of you who don't know (which is probably all of you) I sell peanuts at my local minor league baseball stadium. I usually earn about thirty dollars a night seeing as I get paid by how many bags of peanuts I sell per night. Well last night I made the most money that I ever have in one night... 75 dollars. Now that may not sound like much to some of you, but seeing as I'm 14 that's a lot of money. But that's not the best part... I MET BILL MURRAY AGAIN! And this time it wasn't just a simple handshake. Nope, this time I actuallygot him to say a line fromGhostbusters,which was one of the coolest things that's ever happened tome.

Well, enough about that. Let's get back to the movies

This is easily my favorite Star Wars movie. And that's not to say that the others are bad... well, two of them are, but I just think that this one is superior to the rest. Not because this is when you first meet all the characters or because this movie itself was such a breakthrough in cinema, but because it's just the most fun to watch out of the saga. I don't really know what else to write about this movie because I figure that pretty much everyone here has seen it so... there's my seventh favorite movie of all time.

I love for things to be gritty and raw. And The French Connection is the perfect example of that in a film. It's about a tough NYC cop named Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle who does everything for a good cause, but does it recklessly. The tagline for the movie Dirty Harry is that you just "set him loose", but I think that that statement applies more to Popeye Doyle. Which is what makes him such a great character, as well as the tremendous performance given by the great Gene Hackman.Everything about this movie feels 100% real. And not justbecause of the gritty way in which it's filmed, but also because all of the actors give very believable performances. For anyone who likes intense crime movies, you're not going to find much better than The French Connection.

Just like with Lord of the Rings, this counts as all three movies. Now I know that the Toy Story movies are much easier to seperate, but in terms of my all time favorite movies... I can't seperate them. I love all three of them equally and that's never going to change. I honestly don't think that any one is better than the others, they're all perfect movies and the first two are huge parts of my childhood. I honestly don't think that there's any better trilogy in the history of cinema. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Man With No Name, those are all masterful trilogies as well. But you can't top the Toy Story trilogy.
