Leo’s Top 10 Movie Picks.
Daily writing prompt
What are your top ten favorite movies?

After seeing everyone’s posts about their top 10 favorite movies today, I couldn’t resist sharing ours too. Leo and I have a bit of an diverse taste, and while it might raise a few eyebrows, these are the films we’ve watched over and over—more than 10 times each—and can still enjoy as if we’re watching them for the first time.

I hope you find this list as entertaining as we do. Enjoy the movies, and may your popcorn be buttery and your viewing experience cozy.

Peace, Love, and Buttered Popcorn 🍿.

A Cinematic Adventure with Leo and Me

In the shadowed city where the crows do fly,
Leo and I watch as the dark wings cry.
With a vengeance so strong and a story so bold,
The Crow it’s haunting tale is worth more than gold.


The Crow w/ Brandon Lee

Next up, The Lost Boys with their wild, youthful spree,
In the night’s cool embrace, they’re forever free.
Leo and I groove to their vampire delight,
Chasing the moon through the long, thrilling night.


The Lost Boys w/ Kiefer Sutherland

Top Gun takes flight with Maverick’s high chase,
Leo and I cheer for the fast-paced race.
Jets in the sky, and danger in the air,
With every cool maneuver, we’re right there.


Top Gun w/ Tom Cruise

In the dojo, with Mr. Miyagi’s wise creed,
The Karate Kid learns and grows with great speed.
Leo and I, with our kicks and our stance,
Find inner peace in every martial arts dance.


The Karate Kid w/ Ralph Macchio, Elisabeth Shue and Pat Morita.

The Breakfast Club, a group of diverse friends,
With their secrets and stories, the fun never ends.
Leo and I laugh at their teenage strife,
Reliving the day that changed their school life.

The Breakfast Club w/ Judd Nelson, Emilio Esteves, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall.

Among the stars, with battles so grand,
We journey through galaxies, lightsaber in hand.
Leo and I are Jedi with every new quest,
In the saga of Star Wars, we always invest.


Star Wars Trilogy w/ Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford.

The Wanderers roam the Bronx’s streets,
In ’63, where rival gangs meet.
Preparing for a rumble’s fierce test,
Leo and I watch the youth’s unrest.
In the shadow of fights, change takes its place,
And each must confront their shifting fate.


The Wanderers w/ Ken Wahl, Tony Ganios, and Karen Allen.

In the Grease of the ‘50s, where romance is king,
Leo and I dance and let our hearts sing.
With Danny and Sandy, and a summer so bright,
Grease turns our memories into pure delight.


Grease w/ John Travolta and Olivia Newton John

The Passion of the Christ, a story so profound,
Leo and I reflect as emotions abound.
A journey of sacrifice, love so immense,
In its powerful message, we find recompense.


The Passion Of The Christ / Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci.

Last but not least, the racers blaze the night,
In The Fast and The Furious, they’re ready for the fight.
Leo and I watch as engines roar and thrill,
Facing change and challenges, with adrenaline to spill.


The Fast and The Furious w/ Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster.

So here’s to these films, each a unique grace,
With Leo by my side, we embrace every place.
From the dark to the light, from the old to the new,
Our movie adventure is always renewed.


I Truly Hope You All Enjoyed This.

Peace, Love and Buttered Popcorn and SnowCaps.

    I love all your choices except maybe Karate Kid and The Fast and Furious. I used to love watching that one before Paul Walker died, because after it was like Vin used his memory to just keep making more and more, when they should have stopped right there. Pretty soon they’re going to be like Jason Voorhees and end up in space 🚀 🤣🤣

    Do you plan on watching the new Crow remake with the Skarsgard guy from IT in it?

      They did do the space one 😂😂. I think it was #7 or #8. That is why I sued the first one. I liked up to #3. The rest were just to ridiculous. And the original Karate Kid was one of my favorites (My wife would say it’s because of Elisabeth Shue, 😱, no comment 😂😂.
      I will have to watch it, but none of them are as good as the original; Brandon Lee made that movie.

      Thank You for Reading and Commenting.
      I actually could not pass this one up.

      Thanks Brother. This was another fun post. I had to get into this prompt like everyone else. And the poetry was a lot of fun .

      English? I think I misunderstood you on your post. Definitely has to be English, if it’s a foreign language I can’t get into it. Even Spanish movies (I am Spanish) I can’t get into.

      The Crow is my all-time favorite. I actually have a sort of tattoo of it. And yes, I even have the Vinyl Album (Of Course I would😁).

      We often have this image and idea that we have to be very serious around the Lord. That we can’t laugh or have a sense of humor, but if we look at Psalm 37:4, it tells us to Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. The word “delight” refers to experiencing great pleasure or giving intense enjoyment. So it is ok to have fun as long as you are doing it with Love and Respect. It took me nearly 40 plus years to learn this.

    Yes, what happened to Brandon Lee and to his Father was unbelievable, makes you wonder if Brandon’s shooting was really an accident. Guess after all this time, we may never know the truth.

    Yes, the Fast movies have gotten a bit ridiculous, I guess after 10 movies, they were running out of ideas.

    Thank you so much Sis.

      Ghost and Saturday Night Fever were so close.
      The Wanderers came out just a few months after Warriors . Warriors was still so big that it took alot of spotlight away from The Wanderers. This movie had some good music but aside of that, it became one of my favorites. You would need to watch it, I’m sure you will like it.

      The Wanderers is one of my all-time favorite movies. Despite its brilliance, it didn’t receive the recognition it truly deserved, largely because it was overshadowed by the release of The Warriors just a few months earlier. While The Warriors grabbed the spotlight with its depiction of gang life, The Wanderers offered a unique and compelling look at 1950s gangs. I’ve probably watched it about ten times, and each viewing feels as fresh and captivating as the first.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
