Favorite Movies

We watch lots of movies in our family.  Entertainment is secondary to engaging the ideas embedded in the movies.  I find that for weeks following a movie my conversation with wife and kids will revisit the themes and worldviews represented in the production.

We recently switched back to Netflix from Blockbuster and I have gone through the process of rating movies I have seen in order for the interface to be able to make recommendations to me.  During this process, it has been interesting for me to identify some old favorites.  I share a few here, in no particular order.

• Martin Luther (1953)
• The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
• The Last of the Mohicans
• The Patriot
• The Quiet Man
• Henry V
• The Sound of Music
• Braveheart
• Groundhog Day
• Sergeant York
• Return To Me
