Can someone please tell me how it's even possible that every single time the theme for Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks is something I really like I struggle like hell to pick films for it?! I mean, I love legends and mythology since I was a kid! Anyway, with the help of Google, I managed to find three films that I haven't picked before.
Mighty Aphrodite (1995)
Lenny (Woody Allen) is obsessed with finding his adopted son's parents as the kid turns out to be a genius. He finds the mother (Mira Sorvino) which turns out to be a prostitute and probably the dumbest person Lenny has ever met. Okay, this one isn't actually about a legend/myth but it was inspired by the story of the Greek myth Pygmalion.
Princess Mononoke (1997)
A young warrior is stricken by a deadly curse and his only hope is to travel to the far east where he eventually finds himself in the middle of a battle between Iron Town and the animal inhabitants of the forest, led by Princess Mononoke, a human raised by wolves. There's both a legend and mythology involved in this one.
Thor (2011)
Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the arrogant and powerful warrior son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins), is ready to ascend to the throne of Asgard. Instead, he is banished to Earth and forced to live among humans without his powers. When his half-brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) decides to invade Earth, Thor must defend the planet.
