There are so many movies to choose from. I like several different movies for several different reasons. As far as classics go, these are my favorites:
Beauty And The Beast = The storyline is cute and romantic. It comes from a very old fairytale and was uniquely and amazingly done. I love the soundtrack in that movie. The songs really do assist in creating the mood of the action. I especially love the song, "Something There."
Snow White And The Seven Dwarves = It was the first full length technicolor film and it still beats some later films. The songs are timeless and the movie portrays humor, romance, compasion, and friendship. The fact that the huntsman didn't take the heart of Snow White was just one of those moments where you can't but say, "awww".
The Lion King = One of the most popular of the Disney movies with reason! This movie gives people the tast of every kind of emotion. Grief, laughter, romance, happiness, anticipation, and hopefulness. Timon and Pumba really give the people some comic relief after such a tragic event in the movie. The songs are unforgetable and like any other Disney film, the villian becomes instantly well known.
Peter Pan = Simply amazing with all it means! Knowing the story behind it, it is incredible. The author of Peter Pan originally wrote his heart in this story. Some parts of this movie are even true. The symbolism is incredible!!!!!
I love others too but those are three of my top five.
As for modern movies:
Shrek/
Shrek 2 = These movies give all ages something to laugh at. Mike Myers does an excellent job as the voice of Shrek and what would the movie be without Eddie Murphy as Donkey? lol. What makes this movie so great to watch over and over again are the little things people may not notice after watching it the first time. This movie is more involved than some may think lol.
Pirates Of The Caribbean = This movie is just too awesome for words lol. Johnny Depp's acting is brilliant and his unique inspirtion for it really sets the scene. The film was well created and really is very entertaining to watch!
One thing I love about ALL these movies is that there are little things to watch for in all of them. Symbolism is present as well as metaphors which lead on to mean more than what is evident.
