Here are some of my favorite movies. Some of these are very hackneyed yet I had enjoyed.

My Top Fifteen Favorite Movies

1. Alexandre Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo [Action Adventure Drama]
- I can see why this is Jose Rizal’s fave novel; simply enjoyable! Revenge is sweet!!!
My rating: 9.8/10

2. The Prestige [Msytery Drama Fantasy Sci-Fi Thriller]
- thought-provoking, you can’t take your eyes off the next scenes that are increasing intensity ‘til the end; lots of twists; the actors were great, and I love Scarlett as an actress.
My rating: 10/10

3. The Departed [Crime Drama Thriller]
- like ‘The Prestige’, this is mind-boggling and you’ll find lots of twists in the story; I also loved the ending because it was much unexpected; Di Caprio ~ Damon duo is simply awesome!
My rating: 10/10

4. Stardust [Adventure Fantasy Romance] (tied)
- A excellent fairy-tale movie not just for kids; I was surprised by De Niro’s role
My rating: 10/10

4. The Notebook [Drama Romance] (tied)
– Simply astounding; a remarkable novel and movie will definitely move the hearts of the watchers. This movie made me cry; I won’t forget the names Noah & Allie; I even begged my cousin to let me use her credit card to download “The Notebook Theme” piano piece; I also love Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
My rating: 10/10

5. Just Like Heaven [Comedy Fantasy Romance]
– I like Reese, she’s a great actress. I loved the story, the twists, and this also made me cry. I guess I’m just a cry baby.
My rating: 9.6/10

6. Green Mile [Crime Drama Fantasy]
– very moving story; a must-watch!!
My rating: 9.6/10

7. Unfaithful [Drama]
– tells a story of a marriage being challenged by temptations, presents consequences of having an affair; this movie is intended for adults only :D
My rating: 9.8/10

8. Ratatouille [Animation Comedy Family Fantasy]
– This is my favorite animation movie. My first thought was that this movie is disgusting. How can a rat cook for people? They’re just to dirty and filthy. But the movie proved to be very entertaining and the animation was great too (speaking of animation/effects/etc.., I liked Speed Racer and better if you watch it in the big screen)
My rating: 9.8/10

9. If Only [Drama Romance]
– seems a bit clichéd but at the time I watched this, I liked it.. made me cry as well…
My rating: 9/10

10. Sweet Home Alabama [Comedy Romance]
– Another Reese movie.. a simple romantic comedy.. I was touched by what the husband did for Reese
– I like its tagline “Sometimes What You’re Looking For Is Right Where You Left It”
My rating: 9.5/10

11. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) [Comedy Fantasy Musical]
– we borrowed a VCD tape from a video store and I watched this over and over again when I was a kid. I also read this book from Roald Dahl. I recommend having a bunch of chocolates beside you while reading this book.
My rating: 9.8/10

12. Blades of Glory [Comedy]
- I laughed my heart out seeing this movie especially on the part when they glided on the ice with the “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” track; full of humor; I also like Jon Heder. Too bad he only has few movies; I think I’m gonna name my future child MacElroy or some name that sounds like that.
My rating: 9.9/10

13. National Treasure [Action Adventure]
- clues after clues……
My rating: 9/10

14. Pirates of the Caribbean [Action Adventure Comedy Fantasy]
– good story and the presence of Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom made it fantastic
My rating: 9/10

15. Moments of Love [Drama Fantasy Romance]
- just to add a Tagalog movie in my list; I’m not quite sure if this movie will be appreciated by guys but for women, this is something poignant; very touching love story
My rating: 9/10
