Favorite/Least Favorite Movies

We watched many movies this semester. My two favorite movies that we watched this semester were "Gladiator" and "Something Like It Hot." My two least favorite movies that we watched were "Fantastic Voyage" and "Mister Roberts." 

Gladiator is one of my favorites because I had never seen it before and it stood out from all the other movies that we watched. I loved Russell Crow's character and the plot of the movie. I really liked the action in the movie as well. "Something Like It Hot" is considered one of my favorites because I really like Marilyn Monroe. She is so pretty and hot. I thought the movie was hilarious because two of the guys in the movie, had to dress up and pretend to be a girl.

"Fantastic Voyage" is considered one of my least favorite movies because the whole movie seemed really stupid. I mean there is no way that a ship could be shrunk into a size that can go throughout the whole human body. The graphics were really bad due to when the movie was made. The body parts in the movie didn't even look realistic. "Mister Roberts" is one of my least favorite movies because it was really boring and almost put me to sleep, everyday we watched it. The whole movie takes place on a boat and nothing really happens throughout the whole movie. They just hangout on the boat. There is no action in the movie, which to me, makes it less interesting.

Its A Wonderful Life

"It's a Wonderful Life" is a drama made in 1946. The movie was a flop when it played in 1946. The movie stars James Stewart as "George Bailey", Donna Reed as "Mary Hatch", Samuel S. Hinds as "Peter Bailey", and Lionel Barrymore as "Mr.Potter."

I really liked this movie. I liked how they made the whole movie out of a flashback. Even though it was made in black and white, I still believe it was a great movie. I like James Stewart and believes he is a great actor, even in the previous movies we watched of him.

Sound of Music

The "Sound of Music" is a musical that was filmed in 1965. In 1965, it won Academy Awards for "Best pictures", "Best director", and "Best Sound." The movie stars Julie Andrews as "Maria Von Trapp", Christopher Plummer as "Captain Von Trapp", Eleanor Parker as "Baroness", and "Richard Haydn as "Max Detweiler." 

I really liked this movie. I usually do not like musicals, but I liked this one. I had never seen this movie before but I have heard of it before. I liked the plot and how Captain Von Trapp did not like Maria at first but the fell in love with after realizing her personalities and relationship with the kids. I also liked how the movie had historical references to World War Two.
