Top 100 Movies of All TimeLet’s talk movies for a bit. If you are like most people, since the advancement of technology, dvd’s, and the internet, you have cut back on the amount of times you go to the movies.

 

We are often too busy to take or make the time to go, and besides, the cost of going to the movies has certainly risen. Nowadays, you often barely have enough spare cash to get into the theater, and forget about the snacks, drinks, and other treats.

Heck, I remember heading out to the theater with a bunch of friends. We took the public transit only if we would miss part of the show, otherwise we walked. Back then, it cost a whole 25 cents to get into the cinema. For the 25 cents we seen two whole length movies plus several cartoons during intermission. This is one thing that us kids liked to do on the weekend. Mind you, we did not get to go to the movies every weekend, but every now and again we did! It was indeed a treat.

Thinking about it, I think the last time I went to see a movie at a cinema, was 5-7 years ago. I think that it is too much bother as they certainly do not make movies like they used to and the high cost of going is enough to send someone into a tailspin. I would truly be irked if I happened to take a chance and go see a movie and did not like it.

Looking through this list of the Top 10 Movies of All Time and tell me which one movie is your favorite. I have seen 25 of these movies at best and think that my favorite would have to be a Disney classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I could watch that movie again and again.

Oh, before I forget… what is the price of a movie ticket, nowadays?
