Even among things you like it's hard to choose 'favorites.' What is my favorite movie, for example? Well, sometimes I want to watch one thing. Sometimes I'd rather watch another thing. If I chose to watch one movie over another, it doesn't necessarily mean I like it better. It just means that's what I'm in the mood for.

 

Someone once said your favorite movie is one you can pop in on a rainy day and thoroughy enjoy it. It's an okay definition, but again, it still depends on mood. So to answer this question, I don't really base it off mood. I have list of five favorite films that are chosen because all had an effect on me. I love all five of them. So while I won't always be in the mood to watch any one of these at a given time, they are all my 'favorites.'

 

Raiders of the Lost Ark - I am a huge Indiana Jones nut. I love the series, even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which some people refuse to even acknowledge. Being the first in the series it will naturally have a special place, but it is also the first movie I remember staying up past my parents' bedtime to watch. I felt so cool staying up late to watch it. And I had a rollicking good time doing so. The truck chase thrilled me to no end, and always does so every time I watch it again.

 

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - I credit this as the movie that got me into movies. I credit it as the movie that got me into film scores. It was the gateway movie, so to speak. I loved its slow pace, lengthy run time, and the fact that it was a character study. It set the bar for what I look for in a great, attention grabbing movie.

 

Lawrence of Arabia - I've seen long films before, but unless I'm mistaken this was my first real foray into what I can only describe as the 'historical epic' films. It's amazing how the film covers such a large scope yet it still manges to tell such an intimate story of the central character. This is also the quintessential 'falling from grace' story, in my opinion, which is a storytelling archetype I particularly enjoy.

 

Once Upon a Time in the West - If Assassination was my gateway to film and music, this was my gateway to westerns and Ennio Morricone. It's not the first film I've seen of either (The Dollars Trilogy was), but I found it to be the most memorable of their work. It set the standard from which I judge most of the westerns I watch.

 

Tangled - There was a time in my life when I thought I was too cool for animation, around high school, not surprisingly. In my first year of college, though, Princess and the Frog came out. It grabbed my attention with its obvious throwback to the more enjoyable Disney films of old, and it got Disney back on my radard. When Tangled came out, Disney shot to the top of my interest list, and from that day forward one of my main interests in film has been animation, with a strong focus on Disney. The film is funny, charming, romantic, swashbuckling, it's everything I want in a Disney movie. If there's one movie I can pop in and watch at any point, it's this one. I've seen it countless, countless times since release, and it never gets any less enjoyable or emotional.

 

Are these the only five movies I love? No. Heck no. There are lots, but if I have to narrow it down, these are the movies had the biggest effect on me.

 

I am also a big fan of chocolate. That is my favorite food.
