"That'll do, pig. That'll do."
This really came out of nowhere. Maybe it had to do with how much bologna I was layering into the sandwich. I don't really know.
So then I asked myself - what are the top five movies featuring a pig? Here goes:
1. Babe (1995) / Babe: Pig in the City (1998) - The gut-wrenching tale of the little pig who wanted to be a sheep-herding dog. I can feel myself tearing up already. I never saw the sequel, but all I know is that little pig Babe is going to save the day.
2. Charlotte's Web (2006) - This movie is coming out later year. I remember seeing the cartoon version of this when I was young. It's all about Wilbur, the pig who will do anything to avoid being cooked for dinner. The ubiquitous Dakota Fanning is in this movie. Someone should watch out for this little girl, since her parents seem to be working her around the clock.
3. Animal Farm (1954) - If you didn't read this book by George Orwell in school, then shame on you. I would hope that 1984 is still required reading as well, although I must admit being kind of disappointed when the year 1984 actual came around and nothing happened like in the book. There was a live-action TV version of Animal Farm in 1999. Sorry man, didn't see it. Four legs good, two legs bad!
4. Gordy (1995) - Uh, it's the story of a another talking pig. Just like Babe. 1995 was a good year for talking pigs. That's all I know. (I found this movie on imdb...now you know that I didn't work very hard to make this list).
5. The Muppet Movie (1979) - I know there's a lot more to this movie than just Miss Piggy, but she's a pig, alright? I couldn't come up with anymore movies. I think the best part of this movie is the final musical number where Kermit starts to sing, then others begin to join him; then they pan out to show every muppet in the known universe singing along. Hold on, I'm tearing up again.
Four legs good, two legs bad!
