Good movies are fun to watch. They can be inspiring, emotional, or even just entertaining. I tend to love movies that are all of the above—laughter, tears, and cheering on the characters are what make watching movies (and reading) enjoyable.
One movie I adore is Turbo.
Yes, the movie about a racing snail.
What makes it work? Nostalgic (to me) So Cal flavor, the underlining theme of never giving up (ridicule, injuries, and mishaps can’t stop him), voice talents of Paul Giamatti and Samuel L. Jackson, plus the whacked-out soundtrack (it almost makes my iPod on Shuffle look tame). Almost.
Haven’t watched it? Then you’re missing lines like:
• Yeah, I’m crazy! What made you think I was sane?
• No dream is too big, and no dreamer is too small.
• What happens if you wake up tomorrow and your powers are gone?
Then I better make the most of today.
Now it’s time for me to “snail up!” and get back to edits.
What’s your favorite movie line?
