Movies Have Always Been a Part of My Life Part 1

I am asked so many times, "What is your favorite movie?" and I
always just stare, not knowing what to answer. This is usually followed
by, "Okay, your top 10?" I have been going to the movies as far back as I
can remember and probably before that! I was raised by the movies--I
ran to a movie theatre when I needed to be alone-- when I needed to know
that not all families were like mine--movies made me laugh, cry, gasp,
escape the world--here I am, at 76, still believing in "Happily Ever
After", still crying in movies, laughing, being astonished, getting
caught up in other people's lives and learning about the world. I might
have a 500 favorite movie list
but then I would add 500 more knowing I still left some off the list. All these would certainly be on the list:

     

       

           

         

 

          

 

            

 

               

 

                

 

I know all of you won't recognize at least one of these but I am sure a lot of you won't recognize more!

"Men give me credit for some genius. All genius I have is this:

when I have a subject in mind, I study it profoundly. Day and night

it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it...the effort

which  have made is what people are pleased to call genius.

It is the fruit of labor and thought."

Alexander Hamilton 1775-1804  American Statesman

As you know, I am pretty cynical about movies. But there are some good ones--maybe one in 100 made. Some day, I'll write about "why I don't do movies". Posting all those pics took some effort--impressive!

I would love to read that post as I am such a movie fan!
Actually it was east posting the pics (didn't do it here where it would be hard) it was selecting the movies that was an effort!

Good job finding all those pictures. I can't pick a favorite anything - movies, books, songs, colors, you name it - because everything has its advantages.

I agree--even when it comes to food!
