Movies That I Bought Recently That I Love

Beetlejuice – I first saw Beetlejuice when I was around seven or eight, I really cannot remember my exact age. I do remember, though, that I saw Beetlejuice for the very first time, late at night, with my sister that is one year younger than me. We built a fort with the couch cushions because, at the time, Beetlejuice was to us what the scariest movies of today are to us. The forts made us feel protected. We saw Beetlejuice late at night, since that was when it aired. I vaguely remember falling asleep on the couch and hugging my blanket close to my chest throughout most of the movie. I even said, “Beetlejuice!” three times out loud at some point to see if it would work. It didn't.

V for Vendetta (It came with Watchmen, but Watchmen I only like) – It was raining and trees were falling outside when I first saw V for Vendetta for the first time. I probably placed this movie on hold at the library and picked it up sometime during the summer of 2010. I understood the story, but the volume on my desktop computer was so low that I didn't understand some of the dialogue. It wasn't until I read the graphic novel a year later that I finally understood clearly what had occurred. I usually love movies like this; movies that make me think. V for Vendetta kept me so engrossed that I even forgot about the rain and chaos that was outside.

Hocus Pocus - I was fairly young when I saw Hocus Pocus for the very first time. I don’t think I saw it from beginning or until the ending, only in small segments or from the middle to the ending. I cannot remember. What I do remember is the witches, the Sanderson sisters, and I don’t think I had seen other movies with witches before Hocus Pocus aside from Halloween Town. Anyway, I loved the thought of being able to make potions and coming back to life after a virgin lights a candle.

[ I couldn't find the movie. 

I don't know where it went.

 Maybe I thought I bought it, but I didn't.

Or maybe I did.]

Good Will Hunting – If there ever was a time when a movie kept me seated and focused, it had to be Good Will Hunting. I recently saw this movie and it caught me off guard. I mean, who wouldn't want to know someone like Will Hunting. I would. To me, this was one of the best well written movies ever and to think that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote it is impressive. All the evidence, knowledge, facts, and dialogue allows for viewer to think and question the movie. This is why I am glad that it was nominated for 9 Academy Awards and was the winner of a Golden Globe. To see that others recognized it in 1995 or 1996 made me happy. I hope to one day write something as remarkable as Good Will Hunting.
