Promise's top 10 fave movies :)

   In the words of my dear friend Grace, "Hey y'all!" I was reading Grace's post about her fave books (heaven knows how much I love those) and thought "Hey, why not do a movie post?" So, let's give this a whirl, shall we?

10. Sense and Sensibility. I'm a HUGE Jane Austen fan! I love this charming story, and find the characters to be very authentic for the time period. I really enjoy the sense of honor in this story, and how Jane looks out for her little sister.

9. Emma. This movie was so delightfully complex! Emma is just a scream (she reminds me of miss Grace...). I love how she seems to be a good matchmaker, then ends up getting into a horrid mess, and falls in love herself.

8. Fireproof. A great movie, if ever there was one. This movies really is about true love, and the fight for one man, who has messed up his marriage, to win back his wife's heart and save his marriage.

7. Tarzan. The music in this movie alone is worth a watch. I think part of the reason why I love this movie is because of Jane Porter. We're so similar, like we're both kinda dorky, and we're artists. Plus  we both fall out of trees...

6. The Emperor's New Groove. I like the transformation of Kuzco in this story, plus it's filled with deadpan humor, and one of my fave villain combos, Yeezma and Kronk.

5. Courageous. Okay, this movie is pretty intense. Not for kiddos. But, it's still an amazing story. This movie has it all, tears, scenes that will have you gasping for air because you're laughing so hard, and a good christian message about how important it is to have a father.

4. Narnia, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I love Narnia with a burning passion. Unfortunately, I was horribly disappointed in Prince Caspian. I think they turned it into a Disney princess love story thing when the original was perfect. Granted, the other two movies aren't always true to the books, but they are still relatively close, and keep to the message. I really love one of Aslan's  last lines in the Dawn Treader, "In your world, I have another name..."

3. Pride and Prejudice. One of my most beloved movies! Elizabeth and I are quite similar. I love how, in the story, you can see the inner workings of the characters, and see them changing into better versions of them selves, also, you HAVE to love Mr. Darcy...

2. Starwars, episodes 1, 2. Those are my favorites in the series. I do love the others, but I like to see Obi wan, Padme, and Anikan.

1. Drum roll, please!!! I'm sure you're wondering what my favorite movie is, right? Well, this one, to me, was a no brainer. The Lord of the Rings trilogy. What can I say? So many things to rave about! The valor, the symbolism, the love, the triumph of good over evil, and the sacrifice. These movies are NOT for children, seeing as they are horribly violent, but once you deem them old enough, these are pretty much a must watch.

Thanks for joining me! Hope you enjoyed it! God bless you! ~Promise
