My Top 3 Movies/TV Shows Of All-Time
/The Covid-19 pandemic has us binge watching TV Shows and Movies for a while now. So I figured I would put out my list of Movies and TV Shows that I see as my top 3. This was an impossible list to try and come up with because 3 is certainly not enough, but it leaves room for some interesting answers as you trim down your answers. So with out further delay, here are my top 3 favourites.
#3
Movie - Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke
I loved this movie from the jump with it’s focus on dirty cops, life in the hood of LA, bumping music you can feel in your chest and of course the back stab. Most of all for me seeing Denzel play that role and make me believe him is why I loved this movie so much.
#3
TV Show - Ozark with Jason Bateman and Laura Linney
I stumbled onto this show because as a motor coach driver I actually had to drive through the Ozark’s on a quilting trip…lol…yes, a quilting trip. Anyways, after coming home I saw the show on Netflix and figured I would give it a shot and oh boy am I glad I did. Can I just say that Marty and Wendy Byrde are the perfect couple! This show has ups and downs, shocking moments, sad moments, heart felt moments and a lot of ruthlessness to go around. This show is worth taking a look at.
#2
Movie - The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey and Gabriel Byrne
This was a star studded movie that according to Wikipedia was shot on a 6 million dollar budget back in 1995. I loved the way the movie was told in the past tense and narrated quite well. The shock for me was the ending as I didn’t see that one coming and that is why it is number 2 on my list.
#2
TV Show - Breaking Bad with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul
This show had an amazing 5 year run and it was one of those shows that ended the way it was supposed to. (not like “LOST”…the ending still irks me to this day) I think I have a soft spot for criminals as I watch this list take shape…lol
#1
Movie - Pulp Fiction with Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta
This star studded movie directed by Quentin Tarantino is by far hands down my favourite movie of all time! This was the first movie that took I think it was 3-4 separate story lines, maintaining that separation until a little past half way through and then started weaving all the story lines together. It was unbelievable to watch at the time as I was saying to myself what does each story have to do with the other as the movie was playing. Then you start getting that uh huh moment as the movie starts to come to a close. This is a must watch movie if you have never seen it!
#1
TV Show - The Walking Dead/Fear The Walking Dead
If at the very least you haven’t heard of The Walking Dead, then you truly are living under a rock! This show along with it’s spin off counter part (Fear TWD) that aired when TWD was in production (off season) was perfect timing for us diehard TWD fans. It basically meant we could be watching zombie TV all year long. I initially fought watching this show (TWD) as I hate blood and gore (now I watch UFC and TWD…go figure), but after TWD took North America by storm. I mean talk shows, radio stations, athletes, co-workers, dammit I finally gave in to the peer pressure about a year later and never looked back. I luuuuuuvvvvvvvvv this show, probably in part because so many main characters get killed off that it pisses me off that I have to watch more…lol…so if you haven’t noticed, I recommend this show. Watch out for the new spin off “World Beyond”!
This is my list of favourites but to be honest there are so many other shows out there that could have made the list like “Making A Murderer”, Silver Linings Playbook, Alias, Life Of Pi and the list goes on.
