Favorite Movie of All Time (Blog Post FC #1)


In response to the link above, my favorite movies are "The Call", "The Fault in Our Stars", "She's The Man", and "21 Jump Street". My favorite movies are my favorite for a reason. I can watch these movies over and over again and never get tired of them. I particularly love the movie "The Call" because the plot is so intense. You don't know what is going to happen next and you're on the edge of your seat the whole time. I also love the fact that the main character in this movie was played by actress Halle Berry. She's one of my favorite actresses because she does an amazing job in every movie she's in. The best movies I've seen in the past year would probably be Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper", “The Maze Runner”, and “The Giver”. I think all of these movies were great, especially American Sniper because usually when movies are based on a true story and events, they over exaggerate what happened and what didn't happen. But in this movie, the director and actors get as close to the real story as possible and in my opinion, that’s what made it a great movie that I would definitely watch again and still be impressed with it each time. The way I view it, for a movie to be a good movie, it must be suspenseful. Not all genres of movies are suspenseful, but even romantic movies like "The Fault in Our Stars" can have suspense. I also look for humor. In the movie "21 Jump Street", I couldn't stop laughing. Movies with suspense and humor are the best movies because they leave you wanting more. The only movie I saw that was nominated for the Oscars was American Sniper. I think this movie deserved to be nominated because it was very inspirational. I think to win an Oscar; a person would have to go above and beyond in their movie, TV show, songs or whatever they thrive in.
