What’s your Favorite Movie of All Time?

People always ask me this question mostly when they finds out that I’m a movie blogger,”what’s your favorite movie ?” And I don’t need to think about it before answering the question, if I can see any movie over and over again I know just the exact movie to choose. Don’t get me wrong though, choosing a favorite movie is very difficult mostly for someone like me who see series of movies daily. I always say you can tell a lot about a person from his favorite movie :).

A friend once told me his favorite movie is The Matrix,and another was really confused about his choice but finally had to settle with The Saint by Val Kilmer. I was surprised because I have so many movies i think it is better, if am to choose what’s my favorite movie I know it should be between Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars. Everything about Star Wars makes me happy , George Lucas did a great one there but anytime I think about Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield I automatically port to my emotional state, Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit trilogy. This movies should be kept in every museum in the world it is more than a movie. This is magic, unrefined art.

Lord of the Rings is phenomenal, I cannot honestly find a flaw, never have I shed tears just at the sight of hills before, J.R.R. Tolkiens epic fantasy novel has been brought to life. J.R.R. Tolkien would be proud. The music is great, the shire theme truly fits its image. The scenery is breathtaking and the action is amazing, this movie is full of emotion, emotion on a level I never knew existed until now. But the most heart-warming, eyes-teary thing is the powerful friendship between Frodo and Sam. Never have I seen such a loyal friend, it is truly moving, it brings tears to my eyes every time I see LOTR. Sam and Frodo defines what friendship is all about, ever since I saw Sam and Frodo’s friendship I said to myself I want that. To know that such a powerful bond could exist brings warmth to my heart and I hope I am not the only one. It has been done J.R.R. Tolkiens epic novel has been brought to LIFE. What had been deemed “impossible” has been done. This is more than just a film, it is an art and a MUST watch for all human beings ( Oops was that too much ?) I stand corrected, it is a must watch for all human beings.
