What are your top ten favorite movies?

1. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride

This stop motion animated film has been a favorite of mine since I was ten-years-old. It’s spooky, heartfelt, and the colors and setting really set it apart from any other film of its time. The music is incredible as well!

2. The Phantom of The Opera (2004)

The time period and setting in France, the beautiful colors and music, and the talent of Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum in their various roles all make this film amazing to me.

3. Sweet Home Alabama

It could be considered a rom-com or an early 2000s classic, but either way I love this movie. The southern American setting, the long-term love story, the twists and turns, it’s a comfort film for me.

4. Scream

The original Scream movie is one of the best horror films made in the past thirty years. Such a great cast of actors, an unexpected plot twist, and it’s one of the rare horror films I enjoy that doesn’t involve a paranormal element.

5. The Lost Boys

A 1980s classic with elements of both horror and comedy, this one holds a special place in my heart. It has all the feel of a great 80s movie with a supernatural twist.

6. The Breakfast Club

Going along with the classic 80s theme, this film meant so much to me as a teenager and still does today. It gives a voice to the misunderstood younger generation and has themes and parts that I think people of all ages can relate to.

7. 10 Things I Hate About You

Another comfort film of mine, this movie retells a classic Shakespeare story but in a 1990s setting. The late Heath Ledger really shined in the role he played, and the movie as a hole is like a nice dose of 90s nostalgia.

8. Crimson Peak

This movie checks off almost every requirement box for a good film to me. The cinematography and plot are entrancing, the classic horror themes seen in 19th-century literature are something I love, and the three main actors, including Tom Hiddleston who is a favorite of mine, go above and beyond in their performance.

9. The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Though it’s not the type of film I expected to enjoy, this classic enthralled me from the age of fourteen. It’s such a strange, almost psychedelic film, but I can understand why it’s a cult classic. Tim Curry and Richard O’Brien’s performances alone make it great to watch.

10. Disney’s Hercules

This movie was my favorite as a young child. Despite the inaccuracy of Ancient Greek and Roman mythology portrayed in the film, the animation and music make it enjoyable nonetheless. And the talent of the voice actors really make this film memorable and great!
