My top five movies would have to include:

5.  Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino
4.  Forest Gump by Robert Zemeckis
3.  School Days by Spike Lee
2.  The Color Purple by Steven Spielberg
1.  The Last Dragon by Barry Gordy and Michael Schultz

I chose Death Proof at number five because I do like action movies.  It's hard to pick an action movie as I like the Die Hard movies and the Bond films but there are so many of them it's hard to pick one as a favorite so there in category of their own.  So, when I think about action movies I basically think of Quentin Tarantino.  Death Proof is a movie I can watch over and over again and still get chills so at number 5 is where it sits.

I had to include a couple of what I call classics and Forest Gump is on the list.  With Tom Hanks and Sally Field the movie has an A-list cast and many one liners such as "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get."  My personal favorite happens in the scene montage that shows Forest when he first learns he can run and this old guy goes, "that sho is a runnin' boy!"

School Days is at number three, because I admire Spike Lee's cinematography.  School Days is a hilarious film about the students at a fictitious black college in the south.  Spike has awesome music selected for the score and the actors include Lawrence Fishburne who also played in the Matrix was the second option for my number 3. 

The Color Purple is another classic and it too has an amazing cast.  Actors, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, and Oprah Winfrey provide an awesome rendition of the classic Alice Walker novel.

And at number one is my all-time favorite Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon with Taimak and Vanity.  The music is awesome the fight scenes are awesome and I have seen this movie a million times and it is still fascinating.  It is a must see and a must own. 

I recently discovered how to disconnect myself from unnecessary drama.  This helps out a whole lot since drama seems to follow me.  I thought my finding was worth some sharing.  When faced with drama I have found the best thing to do is forgive.  Normally, I feel like I would have to contest the situation.  Forgiving the other party is similar to ignoring the other part and essentially a showing of compassion.  When you forgive someone you are saying that you understand that they are in a place of damage and want to put you there and you have to be strong to not give them what they want.
