My top three favorite movies are....
Listed in no order.
MirrorMask
"In a fantasy world of opposing kingdoms, a 15-year old girl must find the fabled MirrorMask in order to save the kingdom and get home."
I first watched this movie when I was around fifteenth and it instantly became my favorite. The plot, the characters, it all is wonderfully crafted. Even the music is beautiful. It's one of a kind. There is nothing out there like this movie. It is very inspiring. I've watched this movie at least ten times. It never gets old.
The Secret of Moonacre
"When 13 year old Maria Merryweather's father dies, leaving her orphaned and homeless, she is forced to leave her luxurious London life to go and live with Sir Benjamin, an eccentric uncle she didn't know she had, at the mysterious Moonacre Manor. Soon Maria finds herself in a crumbling moonlit world torn apart by the hatred of an ancient feud with the dark and sinister De Noir family. Maria discovers that she is the last Moon Princess and, guided by an unlikely mix of allies, she must overcome her family's pride in order to unearth the secrets of the past before the 5000th moon rises and Moonacre disappears into the sea forever."
Another one of a kind movie with heart. This movie like MirrorMask inspires me over and over again. The costumes, the characters, the plot. Everything is like a dream. And it's very enchanting. It's just a shame people aren't making more fantasy movies like these. I've watched this movie at least three times. And now I want to watch it again.
Return to Oz
"Dorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, is somehow called back to Oz when a vain witch and the Nome King destroy everything that makes the magical land beautiful."
My all time favorite movie. I've loved this movie since I was young and it has never left my memory. When I was older I found it again and fell back in love with it. This is how OZ should be. It's goes off the books (expect the ruby slippers, though are supposed to be silver.) A lot of people complain about the darker side of this movie and yes, that is how the books were. There is this depression hidden throughout it. And they did a great job mixing both fantasy and darkness. I love it. Plus it is the ONLY Oz movie that has Oz's true royal heir, Ozma. My favorite character. I have to say Dorthy is perfect too. She was never supposed to be a older teen/early adult. And Tick tock. How could you not love Tick Tock?
