Toss Up

How can I pick a favorite movie? There are more than one genres which each match a mood, and when in doubt pinky out. Classy movies have never been my forte, but I love action and thinker films. Pulp Fiction is definitely right at the top or a spot down. It's non stop "what just happened" feel and camera angles that put you in a certain mood just tickle my fancy. Not only that, but the chopped and diced story line add a sense of accomplishment when you actually understand what just happened.
The Lion King is also right there at the top. Growing up a young kid in northern florida, on a farm, riding cows, eating grass, listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, ripping plaid T-shirts, and taking long walks through the fields, I loved Disney movies. I never did any of that stuff, but it sounded good. Disney movies are awesome, and The Lion King is a great flick. A love story, a tragedy, a comedy, a musical. I laughed. I cried. I even turned a step or two. When Mufasa died, I believe my childhood ended, but was recovered when Simba retook Pride Rock.
One other all time favorite is Alice in Wonderland. No. I haven't ever read the book. No. I don't care to. I don't care that the book is better and more grown up. I like the Disney movie. The Chesire cat was my hero when I was a young warthog. I always like animals and wanted super powers, so I clung to him. And the Mad Hatter made me roll. I had "very merry unbirthdays" everyday. Sure it has massive drug references in it, and that's a giggling matter to me now, but then I figured the mushroom was like pizza mushrooms, and the caterpillar was smoking the stinky stuff in cigarettes. I was but a wee lad, not havin' no knowledge of such trifles.
If I were to venture into the department of pure musicals, I would have to say that Rocky Horror Picture show takes the cake. When in history has a movie been made about a singing alien family that poses as human transexual transvestites that kills lost travelers? Oh, yeah. Rocky Horror Picture Show was brought to creation about thirty years ago. It also starred Tim Curry, who is, even by modern means, one of the greatest actors in existence. The man can can-can and play a child-eating clown, and still pull off a suit at the Red Carpet. Way to go mister.
