It’s no secret that Will Smith is my favorite movie star. So, I have decided to put together a list of my Top 10 Favorite Movies of Him. Now, This list is really not based on box-office Success or reviews or even on award nominations. Even though, I know which ones had better this or that. It’s basically if I had to watch 10 of his movies for the rest of my life – I would go with: 
​

​1.-Bad Boys 2
This was the first Smith’s movie that I ever watched in a movie theater. It was the summer of 2003, in a small movie theater in Canarsie, Brooklyn. I was with my sisters. It’s a funny action movie. And the combination between Smith and Martin Lawrence is awesome. Not to mention, that scene after Lawrence’s character finds out that his sister is on his way to Cuba. You must love that scene. Unfortunately though, this movie has the lowest rating on this list.
 
2.-The Pursuit of Happyness
This movie is based on the life of Chris Gardner. Two scenes in that movie are some of the most motivational scenes ever. The first is when Smith’s character tells his son to follow his dream. The second one is when his character gets the job at the very end of the movie. To me, this is Smith’s best performance ever. And he should have won the Oscar for it.
 
3.-Hitch
So I was rehearsing for my first film, J-12. And then a friend of the DP was there, and she said, “You guys remind me so much of Hitch.” Referring to Catherine Pena and me. Hitch is a feel-good romantic comedy that I have watched too many times to count. It’s set in my favorite city, NYC. It also stars the lovely and beautiful Eva Mendes, whom I admire. It has an average sixty percent on reviews. Which makes me wonder? What else do these people expect? But for me, I just can’t wait to watch it again.
 
 
4.-Focus
Just like Hitch, this is another feel-good movie that I have watched probably more than I should have. I mean can you blame me? The wardrobe styling in that movie is my kind of fashion. It's also set in different cities, and I love to travel. Oh, did I mention the sexy relationship between Smith’s character and Margot Robbie’s? And though, Smith plays sort of the bad guy. You want him to win because he’s so clever.
 
5.- Ali
Many would argue that this is Smith’s best performance. I would definitely say that it’s among the top three. A biopic about the life of sports legend Muhammad Ali, it mainly focuses on controversies between 1964 and 1974. I love the soundtrack at the end.
 
6.-Bad Boys
Smith pairs up with one of my of my favorites Martin Lawrence for a comedic action movie. It’s hard to not sit and watch this when it’s on TV. This is the first Smith’s movie that I have ever seen. And it’s definitely one of my favorites.
 
 6.-Independence Day
“Today, we celebrate our independence day.” Man, that speech was well delivered. This is the only movie on this list that Smith doesn’t necessarily play the lead, as it is more about an ensemble cast. However, this movie is among my Top fifteen favorite movies of all time.
 
7- Seven Pounds
Let me just start by saying that on this list, this movie has my favorite trailer, and most definitely one of my top 5 favorite trailers ever. It follows the story of a man that loses his family in a car accident while he’s driving due to his negligence. Now, he decides that his life is not worth living.  However, he wants to do something good for seven strangers before he dies.
 
 9.- Concussion
This film has yet another good performance by Smith. A lot of people have 'beef' with Smith’s accent in the movie, saying it’s not an authentic Nigerian accent. What most of them don’t realize is that Dr. Bennet Omalu the character whom Smith is playing doesn’t have a thick Nigerian accent either. Perhaps, it’s because of all the studies that he’s done in different places. It’s also hard for a lot of Americans to digest the fact that playing football can be linked to CTE.
 ​
10.-Hancock
Imagine being in the middle of times square with probably thousands of fans screaming, “Fresh Prince, Fresh Prince.” Well, that was my experience one spring night in 2008 as I was working on the set of Hancock. It was the first time that I ever got to see Will Smith in Person, man I would never forget that night.  Hancock is by far the only movie where Will Smith plays a superhero - A very clumsy and careless one but still. 

Well, Because to get to Les Cayes, you have to get on this road. It's the second longest Interstate highway in the country. And as you can see, it's splendid. 

No Other city in Haiti has this entrance. This Intersection links three highways and a boulevard. The Three highways lead to Port-au-Prince, Camp-Perrin and Port-Salut, The Boulevard is the entrance to the city. 

One of the most popular intersections of "Les Cayes", perhaps right after "Quatre Chemins". It links five very traveled streets. And it was home to the only functional movie theatre, "AudioVision". 

This one is my personal favorite. It shows the Cathedral of Les Cayes, and to the left of the church there's Institution Frere Odile Joseph, where I spent 12 years of my life. It's also at that Cathedral that I received my first Communion, reconciliation and my confirmation. 

"Les Cayes" has two ports, one commercial and one touristic. 

This Bridge spans one of the rivers of "Les Cayes". 

I asked Rodney Boutin to describe this picture in one word, and he said, "Magic".  And He was right, I couldn't believe my eyes. 

​I whitened this being built in 2003, as I lived now to far from there. It symbolizes the drums that they used in the Haitian Revolution in 1803. It was built to celebrate its 200th anniversary. 

​Well, This would be your guide should you decide to experience "Les Cayes" yourself.

It is a fact! People in the South are more welcoming. I am sure you have heard it the world over. And it's no different in Haiti. Perhaps, why they call the capital city of this department, Les Cayes "The City Of Hospitality". 
​

From Aquin to Coteaux, the South has some of the most beautiful beaches the country has to offer. This list includes, Gelee Beach - One of the longest and most visited Beaches in Haiti, Point-De-Sable Beach in Port Salut, and not to forget Abakabay - which recently made CNN's World's 100 Best Beaches. 

Speaking of Abaka bay Beach, it's part of one of the most beautiful resorts in Haiti, "Abaka Bay Resort Beach Front Hotel". Located on the island of Ile-A-Vache, it's only a 15-20 minute yacht ride from the port of Les Cayes. But Abakabay is not the only resort on this Island, not too far there is Port-Morgan. 

Located in Camp-Perrin, Saut-Mathurine is the largest waterfall in Haiti. The source of its stream of water comes from the Rivière de Cavaillon. And it doesn't matter if it's over 100 degrees everywhere else. It always feels good there. Simply amazing!!!

Located in Bergeau, about a mile away from Les Cayes, this 50 acre garden contains plants, fruits and some very exotic flowers. It is the country's most spectacular botanical garden. And it’s soon to be the Caribbean's best. 

​Like to hike and climb mountain trails? Well, you have come to the right place. The south is home to the second Highest mountain of Haiti: Macaya. 

Numerous Historical battles took place in the south. Forts were built as a form of protection. Among them we can name, Fort des Anglais and Fort des Oliviers. Both located in Saint Louis du Sud, about half an hour drive from Les Cayes. Fort des Oliviers was built by the French during the colonial period, to fight the English. 

The South of Haiti has two of Haiti's Caves, including the country's Largest: Cave Marie-Jeanne. It is Located in Port-a-Piment, in the western part of the south and is about 120 meters deep and 4 kilometers long, making it one of the largest caves in the Caribbean. 

​Any town located on the south-western side of the country has the perfect angle to watch the sun sink slowly into the sea. And that makes the south the go-to vacation spot to watch sunsets. My personal favorite spot is in Port-Salut. It has the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen.  

To be fair, everyone has different taste in food. But if you're into seafood, the chefs in the south got you. Because from the Conch in Gelee Beach, to the lobster in Port-Salut, they will make you the best seafood that you have ever tasted.
