Movies

An interesting thing happened to me this past Saturday. A friend of mine asked me what my favorite movies were, suggesting maybe a list of five, and I froze...my mind nearly drew a blank. After several minutes I was able to name many movies I enjoy, but I told my fried I'd really have to consider what I would label as my top five. So this post is that thought process.
