#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 gathers knowledge, of the Indigenous Race and their Culture, for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

 

    My favorite scene from the movie is towards the end when all of the different animals on Pandora join together to help defend their homeland. The animals came to the aid of many avatars when they were being pushed back by the military and their heavy artillery. It’s amazing how the animals recognized that them and their land was in danger, so they put aside their beef with the Na’vi and helped them defend their land. The animals were usually very aggressive to them and to see the Na’vi ride some of the animals and fight side by side with them was amazing. The biggest and baddest banshee called the great leonopteryx joined the rest of the banshees in the air. The leonopteryx would terrorize the smaller banshees and to see it be tamed and help defend its air was a beautiful thing to see.

#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

#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

#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
