You can't take the sky from me.

I've just finished watching 'Serenity'. It was my fourth time watching it... yes, I know. Only four. *is ashamed*

Can you believe that a year ago we were all crazy with anticipation for this film? I can't even remember how many times I watched the trailer, or how many spoiler posts I hid from. When I went to the cinema to see this, hopes were high. And I was not dissapointed, I laughed, I cried (which is very rare for me), and just loved this film. 

For those of you on my flist that haven't seen it, you really should. I've yet to meet someone who didn't like it.

The movie is a work of art, a labour of love. Joss Whedon put his heart and soul into this film, and it's one of the most well scripted, well shot and just visually beautiful films that has been released in recent years.
There's a reason it's on my top 5 list. ;)

ok i will keep that in my mind when i go to the dvd store this weekend :) i always love a good film...who doesn't right?

[moonlightstorm.livejournal.com]

I love this movie. ♥ The first time I saw it in theaters I made a friend who'd never seen the series before come with me to watch it, and we loved it. And then when it came out on DVD, I made all my friends watch it, and THEY all loved it. It's just amazing.

Well, guess what?

I have just finished watching the entire Firefly series and a friend loaned me this movie to watch! But I'm moving this weekend so it might be next week before I get a chance... ;) But I'm intendin' to, little lady. ;)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Lol, I love that.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Cool, and I hope you find it.
In case I didn't make myself clear, it's an awesome movie. ;D

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Well, applause for you for managing to show it to so many people. My list of convetees is kind of small.
Still working on it though. :D

Re: Well, guess what?

[roguem.livejournal.com]

That's awesome, go you! :D
Hope you're enjoying it, and that you'll like the movie as well. :D

Good luck with your move as well. :)

Always nice to see such passion for a movie.. :) Will work on that series catch-up!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I have a few movies I'm passionate about. Doesn't mean I watch them all the time, but I sure try tp make everybody else watch them. ;)

If you enjoyed the film, I'm sure you'll like the series as well, will give you more insight to the characters and a little more Reaver info.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

I absolutely agree. 'Serenity' is an awesome movie all around.
Out of curiosity, what are other positions in your top 5?
Unless, of course it's just a figure of speech, that, for one, I have a habit of using, even though the mere idea of putting all my favorite babies together into any coherent list gives my creeps. Oh boy, I can just imagine THAT dilemma. But that's just me, no order whatsoever to that damned brain of mine.
So if you actually have a list, could you perhaps share it with me? I'm positively intrigued.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

oh right.
you have that in your user info.
sorry

[roguem.livejournal.com]

No worries, I just think it's awesome that you actually checked my user info for the answer. :)

Anyway, Top 5 list is kind of a lie, as the list reall contains 8 movies, so I guess I'll have to say Top 5 movie series or something to that effect.

There's a lot of movies I love, but for some reasons thos movies have sneaked into a special place in my brain. It might not be the movies I watch most often, but it surely are the movies I consider to truly have something special.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they really are special. Every single one of them.

There are other movies, recognized masterpieces, that, it might be argued, could be called the most brilliant movies in the history of cinema (I mean the Coppolas, the Scorseses, the Bergmans etc) but, somehow these are not movies that I'm compelled to watch over and over again. And every one on your list tempts me every time I hear them mentioned. That's how 'favorites' work.

Excellent choice.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Yea I like to pimp my movies too, heh..

And yea filling in the blanks will be fun :)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I agree with your view on cinematic masterpieces. I can see that it's something special, but for a movie to make my list it has to be something I enjoy watching as well as having some amount of layers.

So wanna share some of your favourites? :)
I won't make you do a list.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

My favorites? Hmm, ok.

It's nowhere near the complete list, just the ones that pop into my mind at this moment: 'Star Wars' original trilogy, 'Fight Club', 'Trainspotting', 'Snatch' and 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', 'Gladiator', 'Reservoir Dogs', 'The Proposition', 'Willow', 'Princess Bride'. You list fits there nicely, too. These movies I can watch over and over again,

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Cool list. Was never the biggest fan of 'Trainspotting' or 'Fight Club', but I very much enjoy 'Snatch' and 'The Princess Bride'. It's been to long since I saw 'Lock Stock and two smoking barrels'.
'Reservoir Dogs'is cool too.
Very cool. :D
