Take 2 Review Chick's Top 10 Movies of All Time

1.  The Man From Snowy River - 1982.  Don't judge me.  I loved this movie so much, I even named my first daughter after Sigrid Thornton's character, Jessica.  I was 16 years old the year I saw this movie at the Paramount Theater in Rock Port, Missouri.  It will be on my list forever.

2.  Les Miserables - 2012.  This movie was - in my opinion - the most hauntingly beautiful movie ever made.  I literally could not move from my seat when it ended.  I was spellbound.

3. Sling Blade - 1996.  I saw this movie because of the Oscar Buzz surrounding it.  Billy Bob Thornton wrote the screenplay, directed and starred in the movie.  It also starred Dwight Yoakam - a country singer I am fond of.  This was a very difficult movie to watch.  It was very dark.  But I loved it.

4.  Almost Famous - 2000.  Not only is this one of my favorite movies of all time, it also gave me one of my favorite quotes of all time - from Lester Banks: "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool."

5. Little Children - 2006.  I was excited to see this movie as it stars a favorite actor from my teenage years - Jackie Earle Haley.  Having not done a movie since 1993, he just happened to be "remembered by" the director who called him in for an audition.  He received an Oscar nomination for his role.  This is a fantastic movie.

6.  American Beauty - 1999.  For anyone who ever considers having an extra-marital affair - you should watch this movie first.  AWESOME.

7.  Pretty Woman - 1990.  No matter how hard I try, this movie ALWAYS makes the cut.  I guess it's just the hopeless romantic in me.  Who doesn't want to be swept off her feet by a rich man who just wants to take care of you...?

8.  He's Just Not That Into You - 2009.  Why Not?  It makes me happy.

9.  Brokeback Mountain - 2005.  A very brave movie.  It made me want to be more courageous.  It broke my heart. I can't imagine loving someone so much but hiding it forever.  Well, actually,.....never mind.  This movie just spoke to me in a way I can't explain.

10. Jerry Maguire - 1996.  I love this movie for a million reasons.  One of which is the Bruce Springsteen song with the Jerry Maguire track laid down.  I know, Lame...
