Top 5 Tuesdays (T5T) Talks During The Movies

Let's talk narration for a moment.

A lazy filmmakers tool for when he/she can't tell a good story? Sometimes.

Sometimes it's as central to the movie as the main character.

And sometimes that certain voice adds a little something to give it personality.

So give me your Top 5 Best Narrators. Here are mine.

1. Alec Baldwin in The Royal Tennenbaums Sophisticated in a tongue and cheek kind of way. He was unexpected and that's why it's number one.

2. Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption Man, what can I say about this except his voice is incredible. A true storyteller.

3. Robert Redford in A River Runs Through It Again, he's a storyteller. His voice is warm and tragic. It perfectly captured the theme of the movie.

4. Harrison Ford in Blade Runner The Director's Cut of this film cut it out because the only reason it was included was because the production company didn't believe people could track with the story. But again, his voice was unexpected and not as polished as it should be and I think that helped tell the story of the character.

5. Boris Karloff in How The Grinch Stole Christmas Is there a more sinister voice that so perfectly captures the evil glee in which the Grinch does his business? I don't think so.
