Movie Quiz

I love movies, and this is a small list of my favorites, but nevertheless 10 that are my favorites. I could go on and on. These are the ones I watch over and over again.
Here's the list.
1. Jesus Christ Superstar. Not only are the music and lyrics incredible, but it follows the Gospels fairly well. I loved the original. Wasn't as enamored with John Legend's version.
2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Jack Nicholson's performance of an endearing rebel psych patient, is only overshadowed by the evil Nurse Ratched's unwavering, unsympathetic adherence to rules that stifles budding progress, and leads to tragic endings.
3. Bridge Over the River Kwai. Stirring marching music begin a tale of a British Officer's resistance to brutal Japanese imprisonment after the Bataan Death March. His indomitable spirit impresses the Japanese, who harness him to build a proper bridge, which he comes to love. Only to be blown up.
4. Titanic. A forbidden love story between two different classes of passengers blooms aboard the doomed Titanic oceanliner. Romance, drama, and tragedy all blend with outstanding music to create a masterpiece.
5. Tommy. Incredible music blends with incredulous story of a deaf, dumb and blind kid with miraculous powers that enable him to become a pinball superstar. The symbolism in the story underline a tale of how someone like Jesus might have been treated in this day and age. A miraculous curiosity, gaining fame, then quickly turned upon when he doesn't meet a mob's expectations.
6. A Star is Born. A fabulous blend of music and drama. This timeless story has been remade 4 times. Seen them all. The original had no music. I like the Barbara Streisand's version the best. Interesting how the names chance, the occupations changes, the death scene changes, and even the music changes with each iteration.
7. Avatar. An amazing story of a beautifully primitive planet, invaded by our greedy technological space travelers who only want to strip the resources. A side love cross-species love story, and battle of natural forces and dragons, against the invaders.
8. Star Wars. Such a blockbuster series that portrays the classic battle between good and evil, in a science fiction extravaganza.
9. Up in Smoke. Having been a hippy myself, one of the funniest movies I ever watched. Cheech and Chong deliver a intoxicating story of two losers who drive a van, literally made of marijuana, catch it on fire, and get an entire arena high during their rock band's performance. Hilarious, especially if watched while smoking a dooby.
10. Alien. An outstanding series of indomitable creature motherhood against a human female's survival instinct. Incredible imagery and battles.
