I watched A.I. again tonight and at the end thought this had to be in my best movie of all time list. Then that got me thinking about the movies on my list and why. I think the movies I like say a lot about me so here’s the list:

1) Cast Away- I was on an island. I had a Wilson. I had a Kelly. The tide brought something in. It’s really hard for me to watch.

2) The Matrix- An incredible story with cool technology and cool characters. It’s very immersing and I can watch it over and over and over.

3) Clue- It’s so over the top stupid that I love it. I remember the first time I saw it in the theatre with my family on new year’s eve in 1985. A classic.

4) Forest Gump- Completely unbelievable but a great story. If you didn’t cry at the end, you’re not human.

5) A.I.- It made me think about what “real” and “love” are. When the aliens find New York under ice, it made me think Spielberg stole a dream I once had.

6) Joe Vs. The Volcano- Everyone laughs when I say this but I just love it. The Waponee Woo with the orange soda addiction is a high point. It’s a great feel good story.

7) Titanic- I didn’t ecpect much when I went into the theatre but once it began, I forgot I was there. I’ve always been fascinated with the Titanic and I thought it was incredibly done. Even the love story was cool.

8) Wargames- The first thing to make me think about computers and what they could do. I really liked the NORAD scenes too.

9) American Beauty- The tagline “look closer” says it all. Great dialogue.

10) Groudhog Day- Wouldn’t everybody love a day where they could do anything they wanted and wake up the next day and start all over? Another great feel good story.

There are others I really like but the above are my all time faves. Hands down. What are yours?

I slept pretty well last night but didn’t get to see Amy much. I barely remember her getting ready for school and her spanish camp thing. She’s speding the night with some high school students in North Bend. She won’t be back until tomorrow night :( My ride today sucked. It was warm with little wind but I just couldn’t find a decent tempo and my heart rate was way too high. I look forward to tomorrow.

I miss Kiersten already!
