All time favorite movies
#65
I have a DVD collection to rival my fabric stash!
When I was a kid, my favorite movies were
It's a Wonderful Life
Moby Dick
--- I would watch them on TV as many times as they broadcast them.
My most watched movies at the moment are
The Birdcage
Galaxy Quest
I can watch those an infinite number of times, apparently.
Love these others, too (in no particular order)
All Marx Bros Films
Early Woody Allen
Time Bandits
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
the BBC production of Hamlet with Patrick Stewart and David Tennant
A Fish Called Wanda
Fierce Creatures
Eric The Viking
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbor Totoro
The original Fantasia
Splash
Roxanne
Persepholis (probably spelled wrong - the animation based on the comic written by an Iranian woman)
2001: A Space Oddessy
THX 1138
Star Wars (eps 4-6)
Lord of the Rings trilogy

The Third Man
Wizard of Oz
The Seventh Seal and most of Ingmar Bergman's movies
He's Just not that Into You (just saw on TV so it's on my mind - delightful little film)
Godfather I, II and III
Olivier's Hamlet
Goodfellas
Unfaithful
Pride and Prejudice - old one with Colin Firth (spelling?)
Garland's Star is Born
Emma - the BBC one, not Platrow version
Pretty Woman
Almost all of Hitchcock
All the Rogers and Hart & Rogers and Hammerstein musicals
Rosiland Russell's Auntie Mame
All early Montgomery Clift and Brando movies
Almost anything with Helen Mirren
Shadow of Doubt - remember Uncle Charley?
The Cranes are Flying
Sunset Boulevard
Witness for the Prosecution
On the Beach
South Pacific
To Kill a Mockingbird
I have to stop or I'll be here all day

Old black and white science fiction, especially
"The day the earth stood still" which sent chills down
my spine all those years ago.
All those marvelous musicals they no longer make, like
South Pacific, Oklahoma, and the others with marvelous
music and voices that will last as long as we have recording
devices.

What's so good about a question like this is there are already probably a few hundred titles listed here and none of us is wrong! I love reading other people's choices, lots of interesting answers posted. Look forward to more responses.
