Movies are one of my favorite things. There is little better than sitting down in front of a terrific film with a good friend or two and some hot popcorn. Of all the movies I've seen, there have been a few that have stuck with me. Some of them have made me think and examine the way I look at the world. Some have inspired me and spurred me on toward a myriad of possible futures. Some have had that rare ability to reach inside and stir my soul. Some have shown me men of profound character, and have shown me what it is that makes a man virtuous. Finally, some have just been brilliantly entertaining diversions for times when I've just want to be whisked away from reality for a little while. Here is the list, with the rottentomatoes aggregate ratings in brackets, so you can all see how mainstream I am.
