{Day 24} - A movie no one would expect you love

Okay, I must admit that I was kind of looking forward to this day's title. :)  The word 'expect' made me think of a more gory, violent, bloody movie...one that people wouldn't think I would enjoy.  And this isn't to say that I *do* enjoy those kinds of movies. :P  I try not to tell people (very often) about what kind of PG-13 or R rated movies I watch, just because people's first natural reaction is, 'Oh my goodness!  You actually watch movies rated that!  That's terrible...ungodly...etc.' :P  But, for this challenge, I guess I'll have to reveal a new side of me. :) *haha*
Well, all of you know (or at least I HOPE you know by now!!) that I absolutely love, Love, LOVE anything country.  Ranches, cowboys, horses, cattle, lassos, cowboy bootsetc.  So, my loving cowboy movies wouldn't be much of a surprise...would it? :)
So...I asked my dear Mother to help me with this post and the first movie that she thought of was:


*haha* How well my Mother knows me! :)
'The Patriot' has been a favorite ever since the first time I watched it.  It is such a good story...of a how a man who didn't want to fight in the war, does...for his family, his home, and his country.  And he helps win it.  It's an amazing movie, and it's in my top 20.  (Maybe I should do a review on it one of these days?  Do I hear a 'please!'? :)
Anyway...I definitely recommend this movie - but please let your parents preview it first!  And if you do see it (or already have), let me know what you think! ;)

Oh, and did I mention that I think the soundtrack is AMAZING!!!

I love The Patriot! Honestly, I've seen quite a few gory/violent films--especially ones based on historical fiction and war. My parents have always wanted us to see and understand what war was really like, so that we would have a greater respect and appreciation for what went on during those times. :) Needless to say, some people might be surprised to know what all I've watched before! lol

Blessings,

I watched "the Patriot" a year or two ago, and it was very good...but heartbreaking what they went through. I don't hardly ever cry in movies, but this one got me!
