Childhood movies

Ahhhh yes, how lovely it is reminiscing about childhood days. There was this day I had a physics tutorial/practical (for the practical part, they made us finish off the reports we didn't complete the previous week. Lucky you may say, but we were totally over it. They were just opening unnecessary wounds) and we gots the talking about tv shows, including those from the past.

Later that day I began thinking about some of the movies I use to watch when I was younger. If I remember correctly, back in the days we use to hire at Videoland (in Nahoon for those who know) as a family. We always hit that 5 movies 5 days for R20 special. Since there were 6 of us, we each got to choose a movie basically, the exception being my moms. My father would always go with Chinese movies....ALWAYS! Not that I'm hating on them, don't get me wrong, bu that was his thing. My sister went for those gay movies (no offense). You know: Spice Girls movie, Coyote Ugly, Bring it On, Bring it On Again lol. I think my two brothers maintained a nice mixture between actions and dramas. And ofcourse, I went for cartoons....ALWAYS. No exceptions on my end at all. I always digged the movies my brothers chose, and I have a top 3 list of those movies which I consider 'moved me'.

1. Titanic
Even though I probably didn't know what was going on except some white people drowning, some guy stealing some other guy's girl and  that scene were I was like 'Ahhh Rose, you totally could have made room for him'.
For some reason it hit home with me. Not quite sure that expression makes sense in this context, but it did non the less.

2. Man of Honour
Yes, movies about oppression, injustices and prejudices always got the blood pumping. Cuba Gooding Jr. did it for me in this movie, and ofcourse you can't go wrong with Robert deNiro being a co-star as well. Nothing more thrilling than seeing a black man overcoming while being kept down by the man.

3. Beautiful Mind
I could watch this movie for days! Russell Crowe killed it. One of the first movies I made sure to get when I got here in Cape Town last year. Watching it now totally made more sense than watching it back then, but I never forgot it.

If you haven't gotten the underlying message from the above, it's that I love movies. And series.
