Because of my dad, I love watching movies. I love being emerge from real life to any kind of world that a movie offered. It’s just like reading book without needing to imagine how the main character looks like and how the ambiances or environment feels like. I even love a deep conversation about movies based on deeper analytic of it. Though sometimes I just let myself dragged along the beautiful moving pictures and engaging character without thinking its cinematography, editing, design, or screenplay.

But, to be honest, and to my surprise as well, when it comes to today’s topic, I have no idea. It appears that I don’t have favorite movies! I have some movies that I really like, but I never made it as my fav. I just think that each of those movies has its own place in my heart and my mind. But anyway, I’d like to share you which kind of movies I enjoy the most.

First of all, as a Disney Freak, I don’t know how or why, all of Disney animated film. Both Disney and Pixar will easily please me. My own appraisement will be biased. My very first cartoon is the recording of Mickey Mouse’s fantasia. I grew up with Toy Story, Bug’s life, Lion King, Pocahontas and Mulan. Until now, there are only a few of Disney’s animated film that didn’t give me chills or without making my eyes (a bit) watery.

I’m that type of person, at the beginning of the year, who makes a to-watch-list. Especially when Academy and Golden Globe already reveal their nomination. I’ll watch every movies that manage to be nominated on best pictures. Also the movies whose best director, actor, actress, editing, score and screenplay nominated. I’ll make my own judgement. Sometimes even make a prediction (which turns out always wrong. HAHA!). I usually makes 2 kind of prediction, the one that I think Academy will choose and the one that I root for. Well, you know this kind of movies. Dunkirk for me still feels like an art installation. I felt like I’m falling in love my self watching Call Me by Your Name. I enjoy every color in La La Land. And the King’s Speech never left my heart ever since. Not to mention some movies such as Schindler’s List, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, and Rain Man. The beauty of their cinematography, strong character with high class performance from its actors, and the screenplay and score that makes me more merging into this alternative life.

There are also some movies that I enjoy so much without thinking about the technic behind. Movies like Harry Potter & Fantastic Beast series, Hunger Games, Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some sitcom or light drama movies as well, such as Catch Me If You Can, Sweet Home Alabama, the Interns, Wicker Park, Serendipity, Jerry Maguire, Sleepless in Seattle, or You’ve Got Mail. Two beautiful drama movies that I think is so underrated is Infinitely Polar Bear (Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana) and 5 to 7 (Anton Yelchin and  Bérénice Marlohe). Next time I’ll write about these two movies. Oh, you know what, I Enjoy some horror movies. Just when in needs of releasing stress by screaming out loud. Funny things about me watching horror movies? I laugh out loud instead when the ghosts appear 😀

Any suggestion perhaps, what movies I should put on this “favorite list” ?
