I was curious, if you have any, what are some of your guys' favorite movies and why??
For me, some of my favorite movies would have to be...
The Jurassic Park Trilogy~ I ABSOLUTELY love dinosaurs, and Jurassic Park (And also Jurassic World, but there are different reasons as to why I LOVE Jurassic World, which I'll get into in a minute) BRINGS them! I LOVE the sense of suspense and intrigue that Jurassic Park brings. AND the fact that Jurassic Park (The original movie) was a GROUNDBREAKING movie when it comes to CGI, as in it's one of the first to use it, and that it looks PHENOMENAL makes it SO MUCH COOLER!! Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 are JUST AS GOOD!! The soundtrack is also AMAZING!! It's beautiful and mystical and works PERFECTLY for the magic of the world of the movie! It's AMAZING to listen to while studying, writing, or reading!
Favorite Character: Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcom, or Lex Murphy
Favorite Dinosaur: VELOCIRAPTOR
Jurassic World Trilogy~ I love Jurassic World for pretty much the same reasons as the Jurassic Park Trilogy, but there a few things that Jurassic World does differently that make these movies awesome on their own! They play off Jurassic Park, the first two movies being set on Isla Nublar near the original park from Jurassic Park while also FEELING like their own movies. You don't NEED to watch the Jurassic Park Trilogy to watch and understand Jurassic World, but doing so will make some Easter Eggs and References THAT MUCH better! I also like how Jurassic World's movies are a connected storyline, and each movie builds off of the last (Camp Cretaceous, Netflix's Animated show for the JW Trilogy is ALSO, AWESOME! It builds off the movies and ACTUALLY feels like it's part of the larger connected story! If you like Jurassic World, you should check out Camp Cretaceous, it's AWESOME!) ALSO, JW is going to go FULL ON Jurassic Park by bringing the original actors for AT LEAST Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm into the next film, WHICH I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT!!!
Favorite Character: Blue (She counts, right? XD), Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, and the Camp Cretaceous Kids *The Camp Fam*)
Star Wars Trilogies~
The Original Trilogy~ I LOVE THESE MOVIES!! The fact that each movie builds off of the last, and each character has their own quirks and flaws is ALSO awesome! The world is AWESOME and feels SO LARGE and mystical that it's just AWESOME!! Also, DARTH VADER IS AWESOME!! His motivations and simple coldness makes him SUCH an awesome villain!! AND THE MUSIC!! The music is AMAZING and MAGICAL and PERFECT to listen to on it's own while studying, reading, or writing!
Favorite Characters: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, R2-D2, C3PO, and Darth Vader
The Prequel Trilogy~ ANAKINNNNNNN!!!! Honestly, Anakin is AWESOME!!! I LOVED seeing his story in the prequels and his relationship with Padme and Obi-Wan Kenobi! Seeing the Jedi in their prime was ALSO super cool! I don't want to spoil anything about these movies, so I won't go into too much more detail. The soundtrack is also JUST as good as the OG trilogy's!
Favorite Characters: Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, C3PO, and Ahsoka (Clone Wars Character)
The Sequel Trilogy~ I LOVED seeing the world expanded upon, as well as seeing what went on AFTER the OG trilogy. I found them enjoyable and I LOVED seeing some of our favorite characters again from the OG trilogy. The Kylo Ren plotline was ALSO REALLY awesome, I WILL admit it XD
Favorite Characters: Rey, BB-8, C3PO, and Poe Dameron
The Lion King Movies~ I LOVE THESE MOVIES!!! I watched these ALL OF THE TIME!!! I loved how the world felt HUGE while also being in this one little area. The characters are unique and aren't perfect, which makes it AWESOME!!! There's so much more I could say about the movies, but I don't want to make this post TOO much longer, and I don't want to spoil anything for the movies, XD OH! THE SOUNDTRACK!!! The MUSIC is AWESOME!!!
Favorite Characters: Simba, Kiara, Nala, Sarabi, Mufasa, and Scar
Sorry for the essay, XD When I get started on my favorite movies, I BRING IT, XD There are SO MANY other movies I could talk about, but this post is already huge, XD Some of my other favorites are The Incredibles, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron, and the Harry Potter Movies (Although the books are better!)
Anyway, I'm curious to know what some of YOUR guys' favorite movies are and why! Which is why I wrote this post in the first place, XD I'm also curious to hear what your favorite characters from said movies are! ALSO, if you've read up to this point, HAVE A COOKIE, I'm proud of you, XD

Secretariat
Kicking and Screaming (its not very popular, but my family has the strangest sense of humour imaginable)
I can't think of any others yet, I just woke up and my brain isn't fully functioning yet XD
OOOOOHHHHHHHH YEAH.
The Rabbi’s Cat!
A cat swallows the family parrot and gains the ability to speak! Takes place in French Algeria during the 1920s.
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, 1979 BBC
Timeless story, fantastic actors.
My two favorite movies are currently WolfWalkers and Inception. WolfWalkers is about humans that can change into wolves, and Inception is about dream sharing, and dreams in dreams.

All the Star Wars.
Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron.
Moana

The Hunger Games.
Divergent/ Insurgent/Allegiance
HTTYD.
and I think that's all-
my brother is crazy about dinosaurs, plus JP and JW, do you want to talk with him sometime @Skysun ?
Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron is my ALL TIME favourite movie because I watched it when I was a little kid, and it may have been one of the key instances that fuelled my love for horses. I love the symbolism in it, the story of freedom and determination.
Favourite characters: Spirit and Rain, of course, and Little Creek.
Second favourite is either Bolt (favourite character used to be Mittens, but now Bolt), and the HTTYD franchise (favourite characters Toothless and Hiccup; the first one is my favourite and the second one is the best)
Third, maybe the Kung Fu Panda franchise (favourite characters Tigress, Tai Lung and Po; favourite one is the second one and the first one is the best)
Ice age Dawn of the dinosaurs- I love getting to see Manny as a crazy worried father to be. I also LOVE BUCK THE CRAZY WEASEL EEEEEEE HE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!!!!!!
Favorite characters: Manny, Ellie, Buck the CRAZY weasel, and Peaches.
