My favorite kind of movies are comedy movies, preferably ones that have Will Ferrel or Adam Sandler in them. I especially like these actors because basically everything they do makes me laugh. I watch these movies because they really help to lighten the mood and cheer you up. If the movie makes me laugh and makes me happy then I will watch it. No matter how down you are about something, a good comedy can make your day better.
My most favorite movie of all time that I would recommend for others to watch is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I have watched this movie over 50 times and never get tired of it. I laugh every single time. I strongly recommend you to watch this if you have not watched it yet. Anchorman is about a news anchor named Ron Burgundy who is the number one rating on the news list. But, a new lady is hired and he falls in love with her and she ruins his rating, but eventually gains everything back.

The star from the golden age is John Wayne. I chose to research him because I remember my Grandma and Grandpa telling me about him when I was younger and would like to know more about him. My Grandparents said that he was the best actor of their time and alwayd tried to get me to watch some of his movies with them, but I never would because they were always black and white. He was born in 1907. John Wayne won a Best Actor Oscar in 1969, and appeared in almost 180 films. He has a big history in Hollywood films and even starred in silent films. He was not only an actor, but a role model for the youth of America. The American Film Institute named him 13th among the Greatest Male Stars of All Time and in 2007 a Harris Poll placed John Wayne 3rd among America's favorite film stars. One of his most famous films he has starred in is "The Shootist."
I agree that comedy is a great picker upper and will also watch movies that make me laugh. My grandparents also talked a lot of John Wayne, but I didn't care enough at the time to do any research.

ReplyDeleteComedy is one of my favorite types of film as well. I haven't seen Anchorman, but it looks like it would be a really funny movie,especially with the cast in it. I love Taladega Nights with Will Farrell, and another funny film that I've seen is Rat Race, if you get a chance, I would recommend it :)
ReplyDeleteJohn Wayne seems to be everyone's favorite actor from the Golden Age. This is probably due to the fact that he was so popular and played in so many films. I definitely couldn't disagree with his work though. He was a great actor.
ReplyDeleteAnchorman is an age old classic, I can't wait till the second one comes out, great choice man! John Wayne definitely seemed to be an icon when it comes to Golden Age movies. I personally have never seen any of his movies, but have heard a lot about them and him as an actor.
