My Life in Movies: 1994-1997

Yesss, it has been awhile, and I'm not great at this at all. You're probably thinking "oh okay, she's one of those bloggers who started, but can't keep it up...." Yeaaa, whatever.


Continuing "MY LIFE IN MOVIES!"

Last was the year 1993 with the movies : Hocus Pocus and Dazed & Confused. To summarize what is "Life in Movies," each year that I was alive, I pick out a favorite movie that was made in that year. I saw this challenge from YAM, Yet Another Magazine (well, it's an online magazine). They're pretty cool, you should check them out. 


1994: The Lion King

The Lion King

Do I really need to explain this? One of the most important animated musicals for a child growing up. 
Teachers have used this movie as a lesson for my class in middle school, oh boy, did we cry at that part about the father and the stampede. 

1995: Jumanji



One of the best adventurous films during my childhood. I had the book and the game board of Jumanji, and of course I had this movie. I realized it was a bit dark, but still very good. At this point, I was in love with Robin Williams because he was in this, Flubber, and Jack. He was very funny. It had great special effects too. 

1996: Scream



One of Wes Craven's horror movies. 

What's your favorite scary movie?

IMDb.com - "A killer known as "ghost face" begins killing off teenagers, and as the body count begins rising, one girl and her friends find themselves contemplating the "Rules" of horror films as they find themselves living in a real-life one."

I love this series because it was a movie in a movie, they were following the "rules" of horror films. Come on, that's awesome and clever! Scream 4 was the best out of all of these movies next to the first one. 

There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. 
1) For instance, number one: you can never have sex. 
2) You can never drink or do drugs.
3) Never, ever, ever under any circumstances say, "I'll be right back." Because you won't be back.

1997: Titanic

I was seven years old when I saw this in theaters with my family. I was so mad that I was dragged to see this movie about a boat. I thought it was a documentary, and left the theater to see another movie. My dad had to get me and dragged me back to this movie. I was so upset until I saw Jack Dawson. I could not stop watching this movie. I was in love with Jack at seven. I couldn't stop talking about him for weeks after that movie. This year was the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, and they played again in theaters in April. I went to see that. It was so good, I saw in the IMAX, the image was clear!! You could see everything. It was very good. I am proud to say at 22 years old, I saw this movie both times in theaters! :P
