If These Movies Aren't Completely Adored...Something is Wrong With the Watcher

It occurred to me today that there are many movies out there that I like that others don't like. Well that's not surprising. However there's some movies that I decided would be completely horrendous if somebody didn't like. These are them:
1. Australia. The Drover [Hugh Jackman] and Lady Sarah Ashly [Nicole Kidman] star in this story about a girl from england who comes to the Australian Outback to find out why her husband's cattle ranch, Faraway Downs, is losing so much money/cattle, and this whole amazing story comes out across the amazing Australian Outback. AND the Aboriginal actors are actually speaking their Native language, which plays a huge part in the movie. It's long but it's AMAZING! Also, Hugh Jackman makes me cry in this <3>

2. Avatar. Pretty much everyone's seen this movie and pretty much everyone loved it, EXCEPT a few people. What could possibly be wrong with those people?? Oh I know, they approve of military and Avatar completely displays the faults of military. Narrow-minded, ignorant, and stubborn. Either that or they didn't understand the movie. Everything about the movie I found amazing, and every un-Americanized part I loved even more.



3. Hayao Miyazaki movies. You know, movies like My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, etc. Honestly how can you NOT be completely in tears by their innocent voices, abnormally huge mouths, and fantasy-into-reality plots that actually make sense?? These movies are incredible and you love them JUST as much if you're 5, 15, 50 or 500!




4. Peter Pan. This would be the live action version with Jeremy Sumpter. It's like the book only it has a plotline and an actual emotional connection. And man what an emotional connection! I can't watch that scene with Peter and Hook[who also plays Mr.Darling, btw] fighting/flying around the boat without crying. Seriously, you feel SO bad for Peter when Hook says those things! It's a childish, action tear-jerker, only not really romancy. Well it is romancy, just childish romancy, which makes it seem more real somehow. It's just really good.


5. Ever After. I understand if the guys don't like this one - it's not exactly a guy movie. But all should know that this Cinderella story came out BEFORE the whole Cinderella-movie-craze. It's sweet and makes you want to be in Danielle's place, or makes you scream out 'Come on, Danielle! Hit Margaurite again!" It also gets your stomach into knots xD It's greeeaaaat.


6. How To Train Your Dragon. Come on, they're vikings! They've got dragons! They wear those awesome clothes! And, if you're Marije, it's Iceland! Perfect setting, perfect story, perfect theme, perfect movie. It's amazing. Although it might just be the setting that makes me so addicted...

So there you have it. If you don't like those six movies, something is wrong and you need some tweaking.
