Angus

There are some movies that everyone and their pet monkey would say would be in their Top 10 Greatest Movies list. Classics like Scarface, Goonies, Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, etc. The cliche list goes on and on. And there are those that think movies like Casa Blanca and old movies are up there on the list. To me, If a movie is older than 1979, i don't want to see it and would rather stair at a wall. Thats just me though.

I am picky with my music and movies. But the #1 seat in my top movies of all time list is Angus, which is not only my favorite, but what i believe its the BEST movie of all time. It wasn't such a popular movie, thus it is also the most under-rated movie of all time. Maybe from the fact that i related to almost EVERY aspect Angus' life. I guess it just spoke to me and it taught me so much about myself and how to look at things in a different light, and i believe that all who see this movie would become a better person for doing so.

Watch this 6 minute clip from Angus as a little taste...

The Soundtrack was awesome! It was so good, my friend Wesley bought the sound track and i would borrow it. At the time i didnt appreciate it as much, but MAN! Listening to it now, it brings me back to seriously watching Angus like 100 times throughout my life.
