DAILY PROMPT RESPONSE

I’ve watched thousands of hours of video content throughout my lifetime, so it would be difficult to compile a list of my favorite movies. If I’m honest, the list changes from time to time. I get into moods where I watch a particular genre until I run out of movies. So, I will list a few movies that stand out.

The first five films on my list feature the legend of Sidney Poitier, and I’m a definite fan of the legend. My personal favorite is The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn. It wasn’t one of his many masterpieces, but its message is refreshing.

  • Blackboard Jungle (1955)
  • Defiant Ones (1958)
  • In the Heat of the Night (1967)
  • Piece of the Action (1977)
  • Simple Life of Noah Dearborn (1999)

These next five aren’t in any order, but I enjoy them each time I watch them. I don’t have a particular reason; I just like them.

  • Bait (2012)
  • The Conversation (1973)
  • King Arthur (2004)
  • The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
  • The Green Mile (1999)

These are some of the films that come to mind immediately. I’m sure if I thought about them a little longer, I could come up with a proper list and reasons for each film.

Here are some honorable mentions:

  • Cool Hand Luke (1967)
  • The Jacket (2005)
  • Silverado (1985)
  • The Natural (1984)
  • The Way of the Gun (2000)

Well, here is my list. Perhaps you have seen some of these and enjoyed them. There are maybe some you want to check out.
