Favorite Types of Movies
I love to go to the movies. I could go twice a week if my schedule allowed it and there was enough for me to see. And there are some movies that come out in the previews and I put their release dates on my calendar. I don't necessary have to see them on the first day of the release but I do rush to the theatre so that I don't procrastinate and miss the opportunity to see it on the big screen.
1- surfing movies- I have never surfed in my life. I cant even swim. In 1990, I got caught in a riptide and my confidence in hanging at the edge of the ocean waves is shot to hell. But I am enamored with surfing movies ever since I saw The Endless Summer in 1964. I loved Into the Liquid.
2- Mt. Everest themed movies- I must have 20 DVDs on this topic.
- In Thin Air
- Everest
4- Wes Anderson- I have seen all of his movies and I own most of them (on DVD) and I watch them over and over again. Darjeeling Limited is my favorite.
5- Werner Herzog- he takes on mundane topics and makes them come to life. I've watched his movie on Antartica about five times. I loved his movie where he followed trappers in Siberia.
- Grizzly Man
- Encounters at the End of the World
- Cave of Forgotten Dreams
- Happy People: A Year in the Taiga
- Wings Migration
- March of the Penguins
- Born in China
7- All Harry Potter movies and the new offshoots of this magical theme- I have seen them all and I love the magic.
8- Movies made from my favorite female books, where the women are the heroes.:
- The Joy Luck Club,
- Eat, Pray, Love,
- Color Purple
- Freid Green Tomatos
- Hidden Figures
- Babette's feats
- The Devil Wears Prada
- The Help
10- IMAX movies- I particularly like these moves when I am traveling to different regions of the USA and the tourist welcome center offers one of these movies to show me what is ahead for me to see. I just saw on on the Grand Canyon a few months ago and we flew right in to the heart of the canyon. It was thrilling.
