Greatest movie lines of all time.

I stumbled upon this video the other day, and I thought it was prefect. Here's a compilation of some of the greatest movie lines of all time!

WARNING: LANGUAGE AHEAD!



Citizen Kane.

I'm going to make a very bold statement, and here it is:

Citizen Kane is one of the most influential films of all time, if not the most influential.

Citizen Kane is the grandfather of film as we know it today. Not just film, but cinematography, lighting, set design, writing, and acting. 

For those of you unfamiliar, I will add a short video of Siskel and Ebert reviewing the film. To hear two experts speak about one of the greatest films of all time is truly inspirational.

To be frank, is it a mystery that this is one of my favorite films of all time?


Alfred Hitchcock.

The legendary director of thriller and horror alike. The man who brought us Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo, the Birds, and dozens of other classics. Today, I leave for you a biography of Alfred Hitchcock. The legend of the film industry. The pioneer that allowed us to have the thrillers we have today.

Quentin Tarantino.

The king of dialogue! The master of gore! Whether you love him or you hate him, Quentin Tarantino has churned out some amazing films. From the cult classic Pulp Fiction to the recent Django Unchained, Tarantino's keen eye for story telling and sharp dialogue have made him a staple in today's film industry. Below, i've posted a video biography of his work for you to check out.


Book to film adaptions.

There are some books that lend themselves to being made into films. They quickly become cinematic classics, and a lot of the time, audiences were not aware that they were based on books in the first place. Here is a list of some of the best book to film adaptions available to audiences.

To Kill a Mockingbird


Forrest Gump


Misery


The Color Purple


The Shining

Animated films

Animated films can be for everyone, not just kids. Some animated films can be heavily praised for their artistic quality and their ability to suck the viewer into a lush and vast universe. Today, we're going to take a look at a list of the best animated films out there.

Song of the Sea


Princess Mononoke


Howl's Moving Castle

Musicals on the big screen.

The film industry is familiar with adaptions. It seems like every few months a film is made that is directly based on a book, TV show, video game, etc. Today, we're going to talk about the best films adapted from stage musicals. If you're anything like me, a huge theatre buff, you should fall in love with this list. Before we dive in, I would like to point out that this list is completely based on my personal opinion.
