I have good
taste in movies.
Screw those Oscar people, I know what makes
a good movie. I love movies, I have since I was a child. My father
introduced me to Westerns at an early age and by the time I was in high school
I had seen every, and I mean every, John Wayne movie in creation. Even the
racist ones (of which there are many.) My father instilled in me a love for
classic movies: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Rope, the Marx Brothers. From my
mother I received an avid love of holiday movies. Every year after Thanksgiving we embark to watch all our versions of
the Christmas Carol (of which there are many.)
Movies are a
very important to my personal culture. I love going to see them in the theater
and seeing them with friends at home. Those of you who know me, I dare you to
think of a time I took us to a bad movie or selected a bad movie to watch.
(First person to say Skyline gets punched. That wasn’t my fault.)
Having good
taste in movies is hard to come by, So many people would much rather let
popularity and reviews dictate what movies they decide to see or decide to care
about. Everyone wants to let their friends see it first to see if it’s any
good. A movie is just a movie; if
you step in, it isn’t going to bite your foot off. While public opinion might
be a good place to start, it takes some savvy to really be able to find
something that people can enjoy.
I love movies
and I am really good at finding a good movie. Next time you plan a date night,
give me a text and I can tell you exactly what to go see.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Find a movie
that you would never think about watching, something hidden deep in the queue
of your Netflix, and go ahead and watch it. Even if it’s stupid, you should at
least try to see something outside your comfort zone.
