20 Film I Love Pt. 2

So continuing with my movies list. 17- 15.

17. TRON and TRON: Legacy-I admired one film since I was a kid. I admire the other when I got older. Both films are the some of the best films in science fiction. The story may not blow my mind but it was there shear spectacle of the effects that dazzled me. Looking back n the first one is rather nice to see how technology has evolved since then. Legacy shows how the film evolve with modern time but also keeping the spirit of the original. I do hope see more from the TRON universe. It is one of the only Disney movie I will sit down and watch these days.

16. War of the Gargantuas- This would come to some peoples surprise. Out of all the Toho kaiju films I have to say this my favorite. Why? Because it has some the best kaiju fights I have ever seen in a kaiju film. Also the film itself it  is really campy. I seen both version of this film (american and japanese). It also has some really great music from Mr. Akira Ifukube (always one of the best minds in movie music). Also it the movie had the evil kaiju known as Gaira eating humans, which is the first kaiju I seen to do that. Don't believe me, here's a clip.

15. The Big Lebowski- Come on, what do I have to say about this film seriously? It has to be the most bizarre film I seen in awhile. I find it rather bizarre but also very funny. This is the role that defined Jeff Bridges as a household name. Everything about this movie I enjoy. The music, the cast, the comedic timing. It one of those films people have to see a one point in time. If you see this movie I swear you will start using the word dude or man in ever sentence for awhile. I leave you with this clip with the dude abiding.

Story I want to share.

So I was heading out of town today with my mother, and traveling to a place were we usually shop every once in awhile. We were coming up on something that always caught my attention. It was a Gorilla statue on top a metal post and a sign for a couple of places for tires and what not right next to it. The gorilla has been up there for years, I see it every time I go down the highway we always take. Unfortunately it was taken down when we went through today. I was really sadden because it had a special place in my mind. Why? Well I will answer that with a very short story.


When I was old enough to remember I was always fascinated with dinosaurs, robots, and mostly science fiction things. When we traveled one day I saw it (the statue) and it caught my eye, I ask my mom what it was. She said it was King Kong. I was never heard of King Kong until that day. I ask mom if she would get me a King Kong, as a little kid I was just a boy with a vivid imagination. So mom decides to rent me King Kong (1976 version), seeing the case made me wonder more and more about what I was about to see. That night I was watching it and of course the talking parts bored me as a kid, but when the big reveal of King Kong was shown I was terrified but excited at the same time. It was like nothing I ever seen before. I'd relished every moment of watching the movie and I think I was going to ruin the tape. Every time I went by the building I would always get excited of seeing and remembering how Kong climb the World Trade Center. Then it came a step up to seeing Godzilla movies and some other one I don't remember much of.

The Cover that sparked it all. 

If it was not for that Gorilla I would never got into the whole giant monster (kaiju) films. I really think those type of films sparked the imagination that I use to this day.  Seeing the gorilla was gone made me really sad but at the same time it left me with great memories to think about. I tried to find pictures to show but it rather to find it. I hope someday I come back through it will return. I only hope, thanks for listening to my bizarre story. Remember the military can never stop a giant monster attack.
