Ninja Captain Alex's Top Ten Movie Countdown Blogfest

I didn't sign up earlier because my life's been a bit on hold. Since the edits haven't come in yet and I'm off work today, I decided to hop on board.

I don't think I could pick my favorites of all time, so I'm going to go with my favorites at this moment. Many of them would probably still be on the list, but there are others that could be nudged out (for the moment) by others.

These are in no particular order.

No comments necessary

I'm a Trekker (not a Trekkie) and have been since I first laid eyes on the classic series when it was still being broadcast. When this film came out, I saw it six times in the theater--and I grinned all the way through the film all six times.

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and I loved this movie. It was out the same time Star Trek was, and I was dismayed to find I'd seen ST six times and HBP only five. I immediately went to the dollar flicks and watched it again.

Any surprise that a spoof on Star Trek would catch my attention? LOVE this movie. So quotable and I still laugh.

I'd always meant to read the trilogy but didn't until Fellowship came out (saw that one in the theater six times, too--thank heavens for the dollar movies). And the extended edition is the only version worth your money.

I remember stopping by a neighbor's house while she was flipping through channels. They came to this and I ahhhed. They said it looked stupid and I said it was awesome. So they left it on, and I stayed, and they became huge fans. Sometimes I think it can depend upon who you're with when you watch a movie that can impact how you take it.

I'd never read Austen until my daughter introduced me to this one. Now I'm a fan, and I own three versions of this. I think I'll donate one to the local library.

I missed this when it was in the theaters and borrowed it from a neighbor. Watched it every night for a week. My family used to watch this series when I was a kid. The filmmakers did an incredible job of bringing in bits from the TV show (including using the same TV announcer) to the film.

My youngest son and I saw this movie eleven times in the theater (I saw it twelve times--went with a friend and her daughters).
