#1 Avatar

     The movie at the number one spot on my top ten favorite movies list is Avatar. Avatar is at my number one spot because it is my favorite movie of ALL TIME. The movie is the highest grossing movie of all time, rightfully so. The movie is so great because of its amazing special effects, good story, the conflict, and the great actors as well as writers. I think the movie was ahead of its time. The graphics, effects, and visuals were advanced for the late 2000s. The only movie I can think of that is remotely close to the graphics and all of Avatar is Transformers.        When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake g

#2 Black Panther

     The movie at the number 2 spot on my top ten favorite movies list is Black Panther. This movie is at the number 2 spot on my list because it’s my favorite Marvel movie yet. I say yet because I haven’t watched Black Panther 2 yet. I’m hoping that movie lives up to the expectations I have for it (I know it will). The first time I watched Black Panther was in middle school on a field trip to the movie theater. Ever since, I’ve probably watched the movie at least twice a year. Some people complain that the movie is too long, it’s 3 hours, but I think it’s perfect for the amazing plot and storyline of the movie.          T'Challa who, after the death of his father, the King who of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king and Black Panther is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate

#3 Olympus Has Fallen

     The movie at the number 3 spot on my top ten favorite movies list is   Olympus Has Fallen.  This movie is in my number 3 spot because of how action packed it is. I love movies that have some sort of military action, and this movie has just that. This is an entertaining and thrilling movie that is violent and very patriotic as well. I think the movie is very well acted, intense, and enjoyable. Movies that are all three, have a special place in my heart.          Olympus Has Fallen is an action-packed movie with an amazing plot and storyline. After a car accident where the First Lady dies, Secret Service Special Agent Mike Banning is disgraced and transferred to the bureaucratic service. When the White House is under a terrorist attack, President Benjamin Asher is kidnapped by terrorist Kang and Banning breaks in the place. Now he needs to save the President's son who is chased by the terrorists that want to use the child to force Asher to give the access code to a powerful weap

#4 Friday

     The movie Friday is at the number 4 spot on the list of my top ten favorite movies. The movie is at the number 4 spot on my list because it is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. The actors playing the role of these characters are a perfect fit. The movie has a great plot and storyline. The movie takes real life hood problems and turns it into a comedy as well as a lesson.         This movie is hilarious! As far as comedies go about the hood, this one is hands down the best. Chris Tucker and Ice Cube really mix up nicely in this one. This is a feel-good movie and doesn't glorify the gritty hard reality violence of the inner city at all, but rather focuses on struggling to make it with good humor and staying positive. Sure, they smoke weed all up and downside to side through this movie, but you must remember that brings a certain audience and humor to it that wasn't present before. This movie is downright laugh out loud caliber. The situations this odd couple is forc

#5 Boyz N the Hood

     The movie I have in the number 5 spot of my top ten favorite movies list is  Boyz N the Hood.  The movie is at the number 5 spot on my list because it is one of my favorite dramas. From the acting to the plot, the movie is truly great. What makes  Boyz N the Hood  so good is the fact that they directly explored the nature of the problem while also humanizing its characters as more than the causalities of wanton violence, drug use, and death .  These characters aren't teenage parents, alcoholics, and gang members out of choice, but because they have been told there's no other option.        Black and in their late teens, Tre, Doughboy and Ricky - the latter two half-brothers - have hung out together since they were kids, they are doing so more after Tre's mother, Reva, seven years ago sent him, bright but adversarial, to live with his father, Furious, in the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles across the street from the other two living with their single moth

#6 Thor Ragnarok

     The movie at the number 6 spot on the list of my top ten movies is   Thor Ragnarok.  This movie is at the number 6 spot because it is one of my favorite action movies as well as one of my favorite marvel movies. Another reason this movie is ranked 6 on my list is because Thor is my favorite superhero. I believe that he is the strongest hero and if there were to be fight with any other Marvel hero, he’d win. I think the movie is a great way to see how Thor is a great character in the Marvel movies and he shows how great he is in the masterpiece that he stars in.          Thor Ragnarok  is about a superhero named Thor who is imprisoned in another universe. While imprisoned in this universe he meets his former ally and new avenger, Hulk. This wasn’t the ordinary, friendly reunion between friends, this was the exact opposite. Thor and Hulk were both imprisoned, and at this institution, there were fights for freedom. The Hulk is the top dog, if anyone defeats him, they win. So, Thor an

#7 The Longest Yard

     The movie at the number 7 spot on the list of my favorite movies is,   The Longest Yard.  The reason this movie has the number 7 spot on my list is because of the great story line and because it has football, a sport that I love. I wouldn’t consider the movie to be a comedy nor just a sports movie. I’d say it’s a mixture of three categories: a drama, comedy, and sports movie. Adam Sandler is a great actor and close to all the movies he is starring in are great films, like   The Longest Yard.  I am confident to say that this is my favorite football, or movie that contains football.          The Longest Yard  is about a washed quarterback who ends up in jail. And while he is there, he is offered a deal, which is to put together a football team in exchange of a reduced sentence. He accepts the offer and forms a football team full of inmates. This team full of inmates are challenged with the task to play against a team full of prison guards. The team full of prisoners must play agains
