Favorite Movie?
 

I'm sitting here watching "The Green Mile" (Stephen King story)and I definitely think this is on my Top 10 list of great movies. :thumbup:

What's your favorite movie?

Anita

Goodfellas.

May be corny, but I think I've watched The Wizard of OZ at LEAST 200 times!!

Its a Wonderful Life!!

I love ET and also the first Star Wars. An Affair to Remember is very good also.

Casablanca and It's a Wonderful Life.

Backstreet Affair....with Susan Hayworth...

Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias.

Witness and the Sound of Music

How much time do you have? :) Off the top of my head:

Gone With The Wind, Steel Magnolias (just watched it this weekend!), 9 to 5, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Anchors Aweigh, The Phantom of the Opera, Pal Joey.

love any movie with william powell and mryna loy if i spelled name right.. they act great together.

steel magnolias i watch it every time it is on tv.

I love those oldies so much- Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House, It's a Wonderful Life, Arsenic and Old Lace, almost any Doris Day movie, Sabrina, The Philadelphia Story also Same Time Next Year, The American President, Shall We Dance, Dave, The Rookie, Chocolat. There are so many.

Oh man, let's see, Gone with the wind, sound of music, 9 to 5, any Jason Bourne movie, the list goes on and on. :). BUT, if you really want a favorite it would have to be Sound of Music.

I would have a hard time choosing even 100 favorite movies but love the movie How to Make an American Quilt. Even non quilters would enjoy this one.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Forrest Gump and Pratical Magic

Lonesome Dove

I don't watch movies very much. I don't know any latest movies.
I love the Christmas movies and It's A Wonderful Life. Some made for TV movies from years ago. I go for the feel good movies, love happy ending, hate horror movies.

Too many to list and the ones that don't put me to sleep. Also anything less than 2 1/2 hours.

Dolores Claborne and Shawshank Redemption ( both Stephen King movies)

This is really tough. My absolute all time favorite movie is Dolores Claiborne. I want Dolores on my side.
Then Gosford Park and a wonderful little English movie, The Summer House, a sweet little comedy which stars Jeanne Moreau and Joan Plowright. They are fabulous.

Blade Runner is another very favorite movie, Oh, and another one is Shirely Valentine, another English romantic comedy.

EDIT: I forgot Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, anything with Liz!

Edit: My DHs fav' is The Third Man staring Orson Wells and Joseph Cotton.

My favorite list is over 350 titles.:D Really! I love movies.
peace

BIG with Tom Hanks

Out of Africa with merrel street and Robert Redford

I'm a fan of the "old" movies. There are so many great ones. I just saw "Wuthering Heights" yesterday, a very good movie. "Waterloo Bridge" and "An Affair to Remember" are two beautiful love stories. All the Fred Astaire movies ae great. I also never pass up a chance to see "9 to 5", it is so funny. "Gone with the Wind", "Hello Dolly", too many great one to list.

my favorite is The Graduate and Love Story

Geez, how do you limit it? An Affair to Remember is a top one for me. The Way We Were, It's A Wonderful Life, Butch Cassidy...anything with Robert Redford and Paul Newman, I could go on and on. But the one I can watch over and over is Dances with Wolves!!

An Officer and A Gentleman, The Notebook, and on the corney side Christmas Vacation

My two favorites are Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile..

Me, my current and for a long time favourite movie is French Kiss with Meg Ryan. It is over 15 years old. Dh bought it on VHS for me and when the tape wore out he special ordered it on DVD for me. It is a simple romance.

DH's favourite movie is Zoolander. He can quote entire sections of the dialogue. He uses it when interviewing new hires. So far every geek he has hired knows the movie and has a favourite scene.

Recently I really enjoyed the Marigold Hotel one, cannot remember the whole name.

I am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes - love the old Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, but also love the new ones with Robert Downey, Jr. But so much depends on my mood when I sit down to watch a movie. Must admit I prefer the Black and White movies. Way too many to choose a true favorite.

Me too. I don't think there's many people who even know who Basil Rathbone is:). I am also enjoying the series "Elementary".....very well done indeed. My husband bought me a great boxed set of "Mystery Movies", including Bulldog Drummond and the fabulous Sherlock Holmes. I also got a great leatherbound collection of the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle....so I'm in Sherlock heaven:)

"Our Vines Have Tender Grapes", ca 1943 (or so), Margaret O'Brien, Agnes Moorhead and Edward G. Robinson. Edie

oh another i have is mickey rooney.. the andy hardy movies love them

Forrest Gump, Dances with Wolves, The Replacements, Boondock saints I and II.

I love The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond.

My all time favorite? Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn & Henry Mancini's music. Love the Title song too.
Anything with Cathy Bates, Steel Magnolias and anythings by Tennessee Williams.

Favorite modern movie Avatar. The 3D version.

Besides several many members have already listed....Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty Woman, Beaches, Evita, The Thornbirds, Amadeus, A Beautiful Mind, Lion King, Miracle on 34th Street and more recently, Life of Pi and Captain Phillips.
(Go see Captain Phillips!)
I'm sure I'm missing another dozen : )

My most recent favorite is Life Of Pi.
There are a lot of great older movies that I like also, such as Castaway, the Twilight series, Monsters Inc.
All the movies that were just posted by laynak.

"The English Patient".....so romantic but sad.

I have 3 that I could watch over and over - Forrest Gump - The King and I with Yul Brenner - and the mini-series Lonesome Dove And then 3 more in the Animated Category Jungle Book - And all of the Ice Age and Shrek movies.
