The Melton Family went to Disney World to celebrate me and MJ’s 20th Wedding Anniversary. It was so fun. An absolutely perfect trip. One of the highlights for me was riding the Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. MJ and I rode it almost 16 years ago and I’ve been waiting to get back to do it again. Check out our “Before” and “After” Tower of Terror video. Camp is especially funny. This was his first time on a ride of this caliber. He’s such a warrior! Click to see the video.

Do you dream? I mean, when you’re sleeping. I usually don’t but in the last year, I’ve started dreaming a lot. That hasn’t happened since I was a child. When I was a kid, I used to have a lot of crazy dreams and nightmares. This extended on into college, but after I got married, somewhere along the line, I stopped dreaming. Lately though, for some reason, I’ve started dreaming again.
A couple of months ago, I had a truly startling dream. After a restless night of tossing and turning, I got up, went into the kitchen, and drank a glass of orange juice. I lay down on the sofa with the TV playing quietly, trying to find something to bore me to sleep. After a few episodes of Sports Center, I finally dozed off. I was dreaming that I was in an urban neighborhood; one like where I grew up in inner-city Atlanta. I was standing outside a club or something, talking to some people about Christ. These people looked really sketchy: poor, angry, tattooed, and hostile – just like where I grew up. Definitely not Presbyterian, probably not Baptist…not even Republican (ha ha). Anyway, in the dream my family was with me and I was worried about them and their safety. So I looked up and started praying to the heavens, “Jesus, I want to follow you, but this isn’t safe. Why did you lead me here? Why did you give me this family if I can’t keep them safe. I’m too weak, too faithless, too…”
Just at that moment, in my dream, a voice spoke to me. It was loud and commanding and it spoke slowly, emphasizing each word, “Tim Melton! You are Sacrosanct!“

Apologies to all who disagree. I’m sure this list can be altered and improved upon, but this is a pretty good starting point. Understand that my criteria is not “the most enjoyable dude movies ever” but rather “the most profitable dude movies ever”. Put another way, these are what I feel are the top 25 movies that every dude should see. I of course put Braveheart as #1. Who could argue with that?
