Alright, so this week we have to write our blogs about our top 10 favorite movies. Instead of talking about what I like about them, I'll talk about the strongest memory I have associated with a couple of these movies, or what each makes me think of, and where I was when I saw it for the first time.
So the list is:
1. Pan's Labyrinth
2. Stardust
3. Harry Potter 4
4. Enchanted
5. The Labyrinth
6. Premonition
7. Mean Girls
8. Alice in Wonderland
9. Definitely, Maybe
10. P.S. I love you
I saw Pan's Labyrinth when my mom rented it from Netflix. When she first told me it was in Spanish i immediately decided I couldn't possibly get anything out of it, even with the English subtitles. But I walked into the living room a couple minutes into the first scene and never left...It was just that good. So I basically associate this movie with my mom, especially because every time I watch it, I'll ask her to repeat a few specific words that I didn't catch...
I found Stardust on a complete whim. I think I was going to blockbuster before one of my friends was sleeping over, and I just picked it up because the cover looked pretty. But once I watched it, I decided it was fantastic...I then proceeded to force most of my friends watch it at least once...the main time I remember this was when I projected it on my garage for one of my birthdays...I'm still convinced it was totally worth it.
I saw the Labyrinth for the first time at my cousin's house when I was around 7 I think. I remember liking it, but for the longest time I couldn't remember what the movie was called. When I was around 10 or 11 I figured it out, and ever since then I'm pretty sure I must watch it at least once a year...
I don't even remember the first time I saw Alice in Wonderland. My parents had this live action version I ADORED. And still do love. I would read the book all the time, my mom had given me a version with both the first book and Alice in the Looking Glass in it. I remember watching the movie, and my biggest criticism was that the Alice in it wasn't blonde. How on earth could this be right, when the cartoon CLEARLY showed that she had gold hair, not brown! I secretly wanted to be Alice...just a little bit.
