A Post for the Movie Lover in me

So, anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that right under the surface there resides a first class lover of all things cinematic... buttery popcorn, milk duds, theatre seats, the dimming of the lights...ok, so maybe i don't love previews...but ahhhh...give me a good movie and for 2 hours (give or take) life is fabulous. I am sure that this love of movies was bred while I worked behind the concession counter at a movie theatre~ and it probably grew bigger than life when I learned how to run a projection machine. For the time that it lasted, there was nothing better in this world to me than those moments right before the movie began when I would dim the lights and turn the machine on and see the movie hit the screen! I loved every second of it.

For no real reason this morning, I was thinking of all the great movies I have seen. You know the kind that I am talking about, those movies that you could watch again and again because they spoke to some part of your life, or they are just that great that you have to see them again. Maybe get one more chance to relive that moment... So, I have compiled a list. A list of must see movies. You don't have to see them , and if you see them you don't have to like them...but These are my must see movies. The ones that I have loved time and again.
