Movie Buff (Chapter 1)

I know u ppl must b wonderin why im comin up wid chapters for every post.But i have so much to write bout on 1 topic that 1 blog wud not b enuf.
Neways,im a movie buff.The biggest 1 there is.I cant help it.I love to watch movies so much,i can actually watch the same movie a million times n still manage to cry,or laugh at the same scene over n over again.HBO n Star Movies r a boon.Dont kno what i wud do without them.Bottomline,the movies iv seen have a lot to do wid what i am 2day.Now this blog is basically meant to educate ppl who dont watch great movies mayb coz they havnt heard of them,or they dont have the inclination to,or whatever other reason.Believe me, i kno ppl who still havnt watched 'Chocolat'!So in this series of blogs im gonna write bout the movies i love,n y i love them.Ppl who dont watch movies,this blog can b pretty boring for ull.
Here's a list of the movies im gonna b writing in the next few days:
Forest Gump
Uv Got Mail
Chocolat
Kill Bill (Vol 1,2)
Fight Club
Jerry McGuire
When a Man Loves a Woman
Phsyco (1,2,3)
Sleepless In Seattle
The Ring
Monster
Chicago
Never Been Kissed
Rear Window
Life,Or sumthin like it
Pirates of the Carribean
Catch Me if U Can
Edward Scissorhands
Traffic(actually ne movie by Steven Soderberg)
Dumb n Dumber
My Left Foot
The Village....the list is endless.
The first movie im gonna talk about,is Uv Got Mail.Now ppl who know me well,know how much i love this movie.Its the greatest romantic comedy of all time.Have seen it 15 times!
The story is about a young book shop owner Catherine(Meg Ryan) in Manhattan,who falls in love wid this guy she meets on the internet,Joe Fox(Tom Hanks) who is actually her real life buisness rival ie they hate each other.Joe's multibillion dollar bookstore chain, causes Catherine to close down her shop.Joe soon finds out who her internet love interest,actually is.The rest of the story is bout how he wins her over.I love this movie because
1.Its set in New York which is 1 of my fav cities(hope to go there someday).
2.Meg Ryan looks great wid the haircut every1 wants
3.Its a love story which gives u that warm fuzzy fellin inside.
4.Tom Hanks owns a dog in the movie.
5.Tom Hanks looks hot in the movie.
6.Tom Hanks.
7.Wenever ur frustrated wid life,this movie makes u hopeful
So ppl who havnt watched it,get the dvd 2day.
More movie reviews comin soon.

hmmm.. i havent watchd few of the listed movies. so i should wait for your reviews. Life is beautiful is ONE movie that will make you cry, it is a must watch. How come none of the classics on your list? (Casablanca, The Great Escape, Guns of Navarone, Makennas Gold, Singing in the rain, Chitty chitty Bang bang, Chaplin movies, One flew over.., Roman holiday, The Yearling, Eagle has landed, The Fountainhead etc? they are my all time favourites)

Recently (ie in last few years) I loved Memento, Pulp fiction, Mulholland Drive, Shawshank Redemption, LOTRs, Back to the future series, Saw etc. Most recent one is "If Only.." No mention of them?!

hullo... and what happened to all the animations? Disney Pixar stuff? Lion king, prince of egypt, Shrek 1-2, Ice age, Monsters Inc, Final Fantasy, A bugs life, Finding Nemo, Shark Tale etc? How can you forget them??

List is endless i must agree. This was just to make sure you dont miss out some of my favs and just to make you write more and more reviews ;)
