"Everybody is less mysterious than they think they are." A Top 5 To Be Shameful Of!

As a film student you would think that my top 5 favourite films would be a diverse mixture of cinematic greats and cultural blockbusters. But sadly not... My top 5 looks more like a top 5 guilty pleasures list. But anyway here it is...

Number one! My favourite film of all time is.......

"We go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong remembered for ever like shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom"...

Grease!


Yes I know its sad but its a musical and I have loved it since i was about 5! I even have the soundtrack... Although I have alot of soundtracks!

Number 2! Another classic! First watched at a sleep over when I was in primary school! I fell in love instantly! ...

"Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you."...

Dirty Dancing!


Number 3! Romantic in its own fucked up kinda way!...

"People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."...

The Crow


Number 4! Some of the best music picked for a soundtrack ever! ...

"If it wasn't this... it'd be something else"...

Elizabethtown


Last but not least ... Number 5! The film with my other obession in life! John Cusack...

"Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny."...

Serendipity
