movies

I think from time to time about some of my favorite movies.

Harold and Maude - classic movie from the 70's about the meaning of life and the choices that we have to make to enjoy it.

The Tree of Life - obscure Brad Pitt movie about finding God in the midst of sorrow.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - funny funny, sometimes off color.

Young Frankenstein - funny funny, sometimes off color.

A river runs through it - 90's film about a pastor's family and the struggles that we have.  Sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you have to keep pushing on with life.

Into the Wild- true story about a young man who goes  looking for adventure, who refuses to live the boring, dysfunctional suburban life.

Saving Private Ryan- realistic reminder of the sacrifices of the greatest generation.

Awakenings- true story of a group of people who wake up to the amazing joy of living.

Patch Adams - A true story of a man who refused to be crushed by life, but looked for ways to live with joy.

What are some of your favorites?

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
