There are movies we love, movies we hate and movies that we will absolutely treasure for a long time. We will love them even if nobody else does, and we will watch them over and over until we know everything about them, because that is just what we do.
They are our classics.
Here are mine, and a bit about why.
The Sandlot 2 - i first watched this when i was 11 or 12, and immediately fell, in love with the story...and of course the main guy. So i watched it again and again over 10 times in the space of the weekly rental time, and again when i was older too. i began to see more of it, and it became a simple movie which i loved.
Balto - Apart from Disney movies this was probably my all time childhood favorite, as well as it's 2 sequels. I love how i can still remember how uplifted it makes you feel at the end, a real sense of joy, that is hard to find these days. It warms the heart.
Robin Hood - my favorite Disney movie of all time and who can blame me. Disney movies are some of the greatest of all time, and this one is know different. A daring hero, who was a fox. How i loved it. It will never leave my heart.
Peter Pan - the non animated version. What can i say, this one sprouted much love. One that has lasted from the time the movie came about. <3 i have been a hopeless romantic my whole life. I always pictured myself as Wendy, she likes making stories, so do i.
City of Ember - This one is just classic me, Fantasy, a post apocalyptic world. Yes classic me. I love studying the world and learning about it, following the story and the trials the characters face. I still need to read the books.
Flipped - I think this one surprised me. I only watched it tonight. A story of First love, like the sandlot 2, and set in the 60's. i don't know why but i like those movies, the ones set in the past, but in our world. It was a sweet tale, and it has captured a place in my heart.
Oh, there are probably so many more that i could say, if i could remember them. But These are the ones that have truly stuck. And you know what? i think they always will.
So now i will ask you:
What movies are your little treasures?
I would really love to know.
