I have several but I think Shawshank Redemption would definitely be at the top of the list. I also love the latest Count of Monte Cristo (the one with Jim Caviezel).

For comedies I like Maverick, Shaun of the Dead, 40 year old Virgin.

The Titantic, Gone With The Wind, Bridge on the River Kwai....etc.

quilter 1 mentioned Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House--love that movie--also love Baby Boom and, of course, It's a Wonderful Life

The Notebook, Pretty Woman,Hiachi.

Friendly Persuasion with Gary Cooper....s-i-i-i-i-i-i-gh.........................

I love almost all of the movies listed here! But my all time favorite? ........ Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand!

I love this movie and cry my eyes out every time I watch it. Just love Margaret, Agnes and Edward.

I love these too. Every once in a while TCM will do a marathon and show the whole series. Love it!

EDIT: Another absolutely must watch is from Austrailia, Once Were Warriors. What an amazing piece of film. So very sad and uplifting at the same time. Love this film.

For laughs (belly rolls and tears from laughing so hard is) Kung Fu Hustle

Tom Hanks in The Ladykillers

Somebody stop me!!:D

I love almost all the ones everyone has mentioned, but don't forget Annie Hall (la-de-da la-de-da!) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (would you go?).

I didn't think anybody else even saw Boondock Saints. I really liked 1 and would have to see the second one again cause I know I saw it but must have napped a bit.:D

Hope and Glory.....Educating Rita.....Yanks.....Shirley Valentine...Remind me of home...and have a laugh at the same time.And two totally different ones...Blade Runner...and the Mad Max movies.

Shawshank Redemption (also King related). I made my boys watch it when they were teenagers and it earned their respect for my taste in movies from then on!

1. Roman Holiday
2. To Kill a Mockingbird

I must be weird, I don't remember movies after I've watched them and I can't think of a favorite. When I'm watching a movie ill like it and maybe even want to see more than once but I don't remember plots. Now ask me medical questions and I can recite a lot of pertinent info and facts. Go figure!

Oh UbeQuilting, I love Joan Plowright! Enchanted April is a wonderful movie.

1. Love Actually
2. Field of Dreams

To Kill a Mockingbird, Dr. Zhivago, Gone with the Wind.

Oh, yes, Hachi, A Dog's Tale -- Memorable forever! Did you notice the dog is a Shiba puppy that becomes an Akita when full grown?

Any of the Harry Potter movies. Actors are okay, but I love the story line where you can come from a bad childhood and still do positive things in life with positive support. Too many others to mention.

Ok, Raine54RN, I have a 53 yo male, presenting with abdominal pain x 4 days, afebrile, intermittant n/v....LOL Just kidding.

Wow...lots of great movies out there! I'm going to have to watch some of the ones mentioned. I guess I am more of an "old" movie buff. I find the newer movies are too violent and a lot throw in unnecessary sex and language a lot of times. I am not a prude, but sometimes I can't see the point in the newer movies. Not to say there haven't been some good ones made lately. I loved the Harry Potter series. Shawshank Redemption is another good one. The Devil Wears Prada (funny), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (see I'm not a total prude)...I also enjoy movies that don't have a "message". I like to be entertained when I see a movie. ;)

Raine54RN, I'm with you...if the movie doesn't capture my interest, I couldn't tell you anything about it, even it's title.

Thanks for the great answers! I've got some movie watching to do!

Anything with Robert Redford...The Way We Were, The Sting, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid...Other movies without Bob...I liked Hand that Rocked the Cradle, Cape Fear, and one of my alltime non-Bob's is Ferris Buellers Day Off.

Oh! How could I forget TKAMB
