What's your favorite movie(s)?

[maherwoman]

I thought since we were on the subject of loves as far as viewing pleasure, I would post something about movies.

As far as mine, the list is enormous, so I will list mostly actors and directors.

Anything with:

-Nicolas Cage
-John Travolta
-Tom Cruise
-Tom Hanks
-Sir Anthony Hopkins
-Jodie Foster
-Harrison Ford (though there is a movie set in Paris from the mid-late 80's that was HORRIBLE...think it's called Frantic)

(I'm absolutely certain there are MANY more where that came from, butthat's about all I can think of right now with my daughter distractingme...lol!!)

As far as directors, I like:

-Quentin Tarantino
-Ron Howard
-Penny Marshall
-George Lucas
-Steven Spielberg
-Tim Burton

As far as actual movies, I like:

Sleepless in Seattle
Look Who's Talking (the first one was the best)
Turner & Hooch

Oh man, who am I kidding...I won't be able to list them all...

You guys list what you like...when it comes to listing fav movies, I always wind up forgetting so many!!

The Crow

Princess Mononoke

Dead Poets' Society

Sin City

[naturestee]

Spirited Away is great, but I haven't had achance to see Howl's Moving Castle yet. KatyG, if you haven'tseen My Neighbor Totoro yet you'll probably like it.

The original was a Japanese Movie called Shall We Dansu? (1996).
A successful but unhappy Japanese accountant finds the missing passionin his life when he begins to secretly take ballroom dance lessons witha beautiful dance teacher.

The English version Shall We Dance? (2004)stars Richard Gere, JenniferLopez, and Susan Sarandon.
The Hollywood copy in trying to "Americanize" thegreat Japanese film loses alot of of the flair andcharm, but still is a good movie to see.I preferred the original.

Rainbows!

 

[mskoala]

Playing By Heart



anything with the death and destruction of the world (Independence Day, The Day after tomorow....etc)



Sweet Home Alabama

 

[maherwoman]

Oh yeah!! Hmm...think we might just rent both. Good ol' NetFlix!!
