Movies that I Like, the ever growing list.
Movies I like
Justin asked a very intresting question. While is offical question was “What Movies do you like?”. I will extend that question to “What movies do you like and why?”. The 'why' part, at least for me, is really important. I like a lot of things but i don't get emotionally attached to much. I tend to seperate good into two groups. There is Good as is in basically “ I felt something” whatever the emotion was I know it was honest emotion that resunates and stays with me long after the film is over. These are the films I usually can watch over and over and never get bored. Then there is 'good' as in “ it was well made”. I intlectually understand the parts that make up the film and why they work well but that doesn't mean i have an emotional response. I liken this to writing a good reseach paper. Sure, the paper takes a lot of work and energy and can be very impressively presented but i doubt it's going to be a new york times best seller. These films I tend to watch once and never watch again until they come out on DVD.
To sum this up I remeber the old saying “A craftsman works with his hands and his head, and artist works with his hands and his heart.” Many people work with there head, very few work with there heart.
