No other form of
media can stir our emotions like the Motion
Picture.
From it's beginings in the late
1800's to
current, visual Entertainment in some form, either
Theater
or later t.v., has influenced our society like no
other
can.
We can be made to laugh, we can be made
to
cry, we can be made to scream or even become so
angry, one
would like to start a revolution.
Many of the
movies
i will list were made many yrs. before i claimed my
little
spot on our planet. But, with the miracle of the VCR
and
the local Video store, i was able to see some of the
great
classics. It would be impossible to make a top 25
list as
they all have different moods. But, i've attempted
to put
a
few of my top favorites into
catagories.
