eternal sunshine (because of kay) & the notebook (sister thought I'd like very much) is on my must to see list!

Did you watch Donnie Darko again? You slept through most of it when I was there. ;) I still need to see Garden State...

I really don't have a favorite movie. Just glancing at my shelf some I own are all the LOTR movies, Indiana Jones movies, some disney movies (The Lion King, Snow Dogs, Finding Nemo, etc.), Shrek and Shrek 2, Napoleon Dynamite, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Babe, Dances with Wolves, The 6th Sense, Big Fish, The Wedding Singer, a ton of U2 movies.......who knows what else....

Haha, yeah. I really need to stay awake for movies. :o Gardenstate is wonderful!

[Corinna]

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Ice Age, Suspect Zero, House of Sand and Fog, The Merchant of Venice, The Lion King 1 1/2, Monster, The Life of David Gale, Being John Malkovich, Nosferatu, and I could go on and on. :)

[sandragonfly]

corinna, gimme some examples? :o I don't think I have known one..

oh kay! gardenstate reminds me of the secret garden!! have any of you guys watched it? oh my...you should!! *pointing at you...thumbs up* :D soooo good and saad.

I'm glad this thread is here, it refreshens my mind! :)

[sandragonfly]

wow...michelle (delight's) most movies listed..never hear of. would they be the ones you recommend me? :D

house of sand and fog sounds good.. was itt? ice age was moderntically funny. :p

[kittycats_delight]

I loved Diego in Ice Age he was just too cute. And I would recommend all those movies. Some may not like them but I thought they were fabulous. :P My taste in movies is a little different from most.

[Vette]

This is going to sound odd... but i really love Scary Movie... i laugh pretty much all the way through it. thast the only one i liked though.. i though the rest were really stupid.

Turner and Hooch is another favorite. though i really hate the ending..

and something i havent seen in a long time.. is White Fang. i used to watch that a lot and drive my parents up the wall with it...LOL

[Vette]

Oh! and one just popped in my head...

Snowy River

i used to watch that a lot too

[The Cat Factory]

A Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket
Lord Of The Rings
Star Wars (original trilogy)
Gladiator
Pink Floyd The Wall
The Evil Dead
The Evil Dead 2
Army Of Darkness

[binka_nugget]

The Notebook
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Sincity
You've Got Mail
Love Actually

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Probably my all time favorite movie is (don't laugh) Father of the Bride 2. Justin calls it my "happy movie". When I get really upset about something or I'm having a very down and depressed day and can't hardly drag myself out of bed Justin will pop that movie in and it helps me so much. When I've lost animals I always have to watch that movie, it helps me to stop crying. Everyone needs a "happy movie".

I also love Pirates of the Caribbean.
The Lord Of The Rings trilogy
Back to the Future 1
Spiderman 1 & 2
My Cousin Vinny

and I'm sure more that I can't think of at the moment (but maybe they aren't favorites if I can't name them off the top of my head)

[JenBKR]

I have so many! Let's see...How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Life of David Gale, Identity, Miss Congeniality...any good thriller

edit: also the Indiana Jones and Back to the Future movies

[K9soul]

I suppose there are lots that I really enjoy and it'd be hard to say one was my favorite over all others, since each movie is different. I may really love a movie but not be able to watch it repeatedly for fear of growing bored with it and ruining its magic over me. But I suppose the movie I've watched over the most, from the time I was a kid to now, as well as listening to the soundtrack constantly, is Phar Lap. I can get a lot of emotional thrill out of it no matter how many times I watch it.

[rizzy]

Legally Blonde ( the first one)
How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days
Raising Helen
The Notebook*
Miss Congeniality
Spiderman with the real people
Shawshank Redemption
The Pirates of the Carabian

Sheesh, forgot that one too. That's definitely one of my faves, I saw it not long ago too.

[PJ's Mom]

I don't really have one favorite. I love the Star Wars movies (all of them but The Phantom Menace) I also love all the Terminator movies. (the first one is my favorite) :)

[Ginger's Mom]

Love those light romantic movies, such as The Goodbye Girl, Charade, The American President, The Runaway Bride, anyway you get the idea. And on occasion a darker romantic movie like Sliding Doors.

[ParNone]

The ones I find myself watching over and over again are musicals. I swear I was born in the wrong era ;). I love:

Sound of Music
Wizard of Oz
Unsinkable Molly Brown
Calamity Jane (the musical one of course with Doris Day)
Funny Girl

Over the weekend, I found myself glued to the TV rewatching, Yankee Doodle Dandy ("My father thanks you, my mother thanks you, my sister thanks you and I thank you". :)) and Singing in the Rain (Good Morning... Goooooddd Mooorrrrning :))

I feel that way, too, sometimes! My favorite musical is Brigadoon. And, Gene Kelly is one of my all time favorite men, he was so beautiful, and, what a voice! When he and Ricky Nelson sang that song in "Rio Bravo", oh, man! :)

[ParNone]

Amazingly enough I've never seen Brigadoon. I'll have to put that one on my list.

I actually love Singing in the Rain, moreso for Debbie Reynolds (I saw her do Unsinkable Molly Brown live here in Houston and have been a big fan ever since), then Gene Kelly, although I do love his classic dance in the Rain. I also love Donald O'Connors "Make'em Laugh" dance routine too.

[Ginger's Mom]

Oh ParNone, not to get too far off the original topic, but musicals. Let me recommend anything with Howard Keel (I just love him). (E.g. Annie Get Your Gun, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Kiss Me Kate.)

[ParNone]

hola ginger's mom!

Yeppers, I really liked him in Show Boat and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and of course I LOVED him in Calamity Jane :) as Wild Bill Hickok. I haven't seen Kiss me Kate or Annie Get Your Gun though. I'll put those on my list too.

Par...

[sandragonfly]

Although not a big movie goer, I enjoyed .

BRIDGET JONES DIARY both the first and 2nd one, I love Renee, and of course my two fav hunks Colin firth and Hugh baby.

JAPANESE STORY, this movie I really enjoyed,not sure if it was ever released in USA, an australian movie, one of the best I have seen for me anyhow,it had humour, romance,sad bits, a mixed bag, but very enjoyable.

MONSTER, the storyline was not very nice, but well acted and I still enjoyed it although sometimes I looked away,at scenes that upset me.

RAISING HELEN, loved this movie, a fan of Kate Hudson, and went to a mother's day special screening with Melissa, was perfect for that.

I must add WAKING NED DEVINE, an old movie, but I really enjoyed this one.

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

My absolute favorite is the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Pirates of the Caribbean!!:D I've got lots more though...;)
