Hows that?

Well, you post a list of yor favourite movies. And behind the title you post a quick reason to why you think the movie is good. Well, obviously, you think The Departed is a great movie -- since you placed it a the #1 spot in your list. And then, the explanation you give to why it's great is ''Just pure greatness and just great all around'', which in a way is just repeating the opinion -- it's great, because it's great.

The Departed- It has been my favorite film since I've seen it, and will probably be my favorite for a long time. I love the scene when Costello has Costigan alone and is eating dinner with him, and talking to him about there being a rat. Whenever I watch this movie, I am on the edge of my seat the whole time, even though I've seen the movie tons of times.

Finding Nemo- Amazing animation. I love the sense of adventure I feel when watching the movie. This is probably the dvd that I watch the most. It never gets old. I love the way the different fish are portrayed (The sharks in the meeting trying to stop eating fish, the group of fish giving them directions, and It always amuses me when I see the swordfish fencing). This movie has a lot of real emotion and suspense as well. To me, this is one of the most brilliant movies ever made.

Spider-man 2- This is the perfect comic book adaptation to me. It makes you truly feel the weight of being a super-hero. This movie made me really feel for Peter. The ending of the movie probably had one of the biggest payoffs for me, when Peter and MJ FINALLY get together. The train sequence is probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

The Incredibles: Amazing. One of the best superhero movies out there. It is really funny, and the animation blows me away. It has some really cool fight scenes also. I think it is way better than most of the comic book films coming out now.

The Empire Strikes Back- The best part of one of the best trilogies of all time. I remember the first time I saw the trilogy for the first time as a little kid, and I was left in so much suspense after Han was put in carbonite. He was the coolest person in the world for me when I was between the ages of 8 and 15. One of my favorite lines in any movie:
Leia: I love you
Han: I know (as he is being lowered into carbonite)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: One of the best book adaptations on film that truly captures the essence of one of my favorite book series. I love the books, and this is the only movie that I loved as much as the book. (Also, Goblet of Fire is my favorite HP book)

Toy Story: I grew up watching this movie. It has a lot of sentimental value. I even saw Toy Story on Ice as a kid. I love this movie now as much as I did when I first saw it.

Kill Bill: There is so much that is good in this movie, I don't know where to start.

Cinderella Man : A very excellent movie.

Saving Private Ryan: This movie is really sad, and shows the brutality of war.
