Here is a Top Ten list of my favorite movies (to date of course). It might take a while to change the whole list since most of them came out more than a decade ago. Some of you may not agree with the list. I understand. We do have different tastes and preferences.
10. Speed. An appropriate title. The movie came out in 1994. It starred Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, and Sandra Bullock. There are very few movies with almost non-stop action and this is one of them. The sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control came out in 1997 but the boat ride wasn't as exciting as the bus ride.
9. Bad Boys. This is an action film that was released in 1995. It stars Martin Lawrence as Marcus Burnett, a married, straight edge Miami-Dade cop; Will Smith as Mike Lowrey, a rich boy Miami-Dade cop that doubles as a chic magnet; and Tea Leoni as Julie Mott, a witness to an execution. A sequel, Bad Boys II, came out in 2004. Though the main antagonist of the sequel died with a land mine blowing up on his face, I still liked the first movie better.
8. Pitch Black. This is a science fiction, survival horror film that came out in 2000. This is the only film in this list that came out in the 2000's. It stars Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick, a very dangerous criminal who can see in pitch black darkness. A sequel and an animated movie came out in 2004; The Chronicles of Riddick and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury respectively. Unfortunately, the sequel became more science fiction fantasy and lost its appeal.
7. The Transformers: The Movie. I'm talking about the animated movie way back in 1986 not the Michael Bay films. Sure, Optimus Prime sounds right but the animated movie had a lot more Transformers and lesser humans.
6. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. This is Kevin Costner's portrayal of the prince of thieves. The movie came out in 1991. Believe me, I watched this over and over back then that I almost memorized the dialogues. Hence, I consider this one of my favorites.
Second half of the list comes out on the next post.
