Movies: Part 1:)

Movies: Part 1 Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
Ok in my last blog I did a tirade on entertainment news and so on……well this blog is also about the entertainment industry but is about my love of movies……and please feel free to comment me back with your favourites too:):)
This blog has to go into two parts, so in the first part here is a list of some of my fav actors/actresses:)

Actors:
Morgan Freeman: Because he has a great presence on screen, he always tries to vary his performances…..he can play practically anything, he always makes good choices for roles, but he's not always the leading man so much as the supporter who makes u take notice…..and he has the coolest narrating voice I have ever heard……:):) fav movies with Morgan that I love, Lean on Me, Power of One, Bruce Almighty, Evan Almighty, and last but not least The Shawshank Redemption.

Dustin Hoffman: Another Actor who plays so many remembered and various roles….My stand outs for him are Midnight Cowboy, Tootsie and Rain Man.

Richard Dreyfuss: Mr Holland's Opus, Stand By Me (Narrator/The Writer was his character too), Jaws, What About Bob?

Matt Damon: What else is there to say:):)...some of my fav Matt Damon movies are: Good Will Hunting, The Departed, School Ties, Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Thirteen (I didn't like Ocean's Twelve) and Rounders.

Leonardo DiCaprio: What doesn't he do that isn't great…..but a few of my fav Leo movies are….Titanic, Catch Me If You Can, Basketball Diaries, Blood Diamond, and the first movie where I noticed him What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

Johnny Depp: Again another actor who plays character roles like nobody else, First character role that I love him in of course captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, also love him as Willy Wonka in the re-make of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, then there's What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and although not a movie and he hates to be reminded that that is how he started to get big, I did love him in 21 Jump Street:)

Tom Hanks: Big, Sleepless in Seattle, Forrest Gump, Castaway, Terminal.

Kevin Kline: The Emperor's Club, Life As A House, Dave, French Kiss.

Robin Williams: Jumanji, Mrs Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam, Good Will Hunting, RV, Night at the Museum.

Tom Cruise: (have to say first that I don't like Tom so much as a person now he comes across as very arrogant and controlling these days, but you can't really fault Tom as an actor, or what he has brought to the movie industry).....o.k so here's some of Tom's movies that I like:):) Top Gun, Risky Business, Jerry Maguire, Cocktail, Rain Man, A Few Good Men, Days of Thunder, The Color Of Money.....btw did u know that Tom and his characters have some of the most recognisable catch phrases from his movies...some examples.....Show Me The Money!!! and... Shut Up! You had me at Hello (Although Renee actually says that line)...both from Jerry Maguire....I feel the need, the need for speed (Top Gun), I want the truth speech (A Few Good Men) and it's actually Jack Nicholsan who makes that one famous by saying You Can't Handle The Truth!!!....that's just a few anyways....:):)

Channing Tatum/Paul Walker: Because they are hot and also make good movies:):) Channing Tatum is certainly one to watch out for he has some good movies coming out in 08:)

ACTRESSES:
Drew Barrymore: Drew the girl next door that we all love….my fav Drew movies….E.T, Mad Love, Scream, The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Never Been Kissed, Fever Pitch (in Australia it's known as The Perfect Catch) And although not technically a Drew Barrymore movie: My Date With Drew.

Meryl Streep: The Devil Wears Prada, The River Wild, Defending Your Life, Kramer vs Kramer, The Holocaust.

Julia Roberts: Steel Magnolia's, Pretty Woman, Stepmom, Notting Hill, Erin Brokovich, Mona Lisa's Smile.

Susan Sarandon:Thelma & Louise, Stepmom, Anywhere But Here.

Geena Davis: Thelma & Louise, Long Kiss Goodnight, A League Of Their Own, Quick Change.

Reese Witherspoon: The Man in the Moon, Fear, Pleasantville, Legally Blond 1&2, Sweet Home Alabama.

Kate Winslet: Titanic, Finding Neverland, The Holiday.

Julia Stiles: 10 Things I Hate About You, Save The Last Dance, The 60's, The Prince and Me.

The choices these actors/actresses make is why I love them because they all have the power to make any movie they want to, be it, drama, comedy, character, they all become these parts so believingly and that is why they are some of the biggest names in hollywood:):) And why they all deserve to make my list of favourites.

Note: These are my personal favourites, some are the big block busters that we all know and love and some I just love because the movie resonates with me or I just love for the sheer entertainment factor, which is why we all watch movies in the first place right:):)
