Hello CineTV

There is a wide variety of what makes people happy. As we can see with the choices of movies for this contest, that spectrum is all over the map. I figured since I created the topic I would share that the movie that makes me the most happy is probably the film, "Ocean's 11". The most recent version with Brad Pitt and George Clooney has a special place in my heart because I can watch it over and over and never get bored of the story and the witty one-liners. There are of course many other movies that have made me happy but I genuinely enjoy this movie every time I watch it. :)

I want to say a special thank you to those that took time to enter this latest contest! I am going to try hard to keep the contests on a more regular schedule and I apologize for the delays that sometimes happen in between them. I have had some minor health issues that have kept me very preoccupied and I hope that things keep getting better! I truly appreciate this community and hope that you all will continue to particpate in our contests!

Let's get to the winners!

First Place

The first place finisher was @bisolamih with Mamma Mia, found here: https://peakd.com/hive-121744/@bisolamih/cinetv-contest-mamma-mia-a

Anytime you can connect a movie with songs and they stick in your mind, it is going to be a good one. I haven't watched this whole movie but I do know some of the songs and can understand how it can make you happy! Congrats!

Second Place

The second place finisher was @ozd with their selection of Gifted Hands, found here: https://peakd.com/hive-121744/@ozd/cine-tv-contest-133-gifted

Dr. Ben Carson is such an amazing man. I haven't seen this film but I am inspired by his story and his character. Thank you!

Disney used to be a mainstay in my house. Not only that but the giant of a company dominated American television and cinema. There seeemed to be an endless stream of original cartoons and stories for them to pull from.

One movie that stands out in my memory is the animated classic, "Aladdin". Robin Williams gives an awesome performance as the Genie and it tells a supernatural love story between people from different backgrounds. My biggest memory of this film was that my friends and I were headed to see the film in the theater the night that I broke my hip. Not the greatest memory of the film but that night literally changed my life from that moment on. This reality did not take away from the joy of the movie when I finally got to see it later with my girlfriend. The songs and story still come to mind all these years later. This is the impact that the Disney movies have had on whole generations.

For this contest I want you to pick a Disney film and dive into what makes it your favorite. Give a good reason as to why the movie sticks in your mind and how Disney impacted your childhood. Were these films available to you when you were younger and if not do you wish they could have been? What draws you and others to these types of movies? Those are some ideas to get your review started.

Be original and give your most personal and engaging review if you want me to select your entry. Thanks for being here and for engaging with our contests. :)

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to tag me in the Discord channel (caulderfreeman). Enjoy this week's contest and good luck!
