For some reason I was sitting here, suppose to be working, but instead was thinking about this. Mine has to be a toss up:
#1A – Hope Floats – It’s just a classic love story. Plus it has Sandra Bullock in it, that helps.
#1B – Sweet Home Alabama – I watched this AGAIN this weekend. I love how he holds on and then rejects her for her to come running into his arms at the end.

"Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" of course.
But I never thought I'd actually live it too!
For anyone who doesn't know this movie, it's worth renting just to see a young Antonio Bandaras as a nerd, and he's still cute. The movie is in Spanish with subtitles, and it is by director Pedro Amaldovar.

Favorite Movies - to hard to have just one....
Have to go with "The Way we Were" - but then again there are about of others - Somewhere in Time, Love & Basketball(the only movie with a begining middle and a end made recently) and when I want motivation - You gotta watch - "Bridget Jone's Diary".... Just to name a few - oh and I cannot forget Urban Cowboy.... OK I could be here all day....

As Good As It Gets, Jack Nicholson
Funniest social justice propaganda film ever produced with a delightful love story added on.

1)Bridget Jones' Diary==she gets cheated on, does really stupid stuff, makes blue soup, and meets the really nice cute guy, bad guy lies some more and ends up good. My fav quote (I have to paraphrase b/c there's a swear word in it ok?)...Bridget:Hold on, nice guys don't kiss like that. the good barrister: Oh the )))) they do!
2)Gone W/the Wind: thankfully more drama than I will live through..
3)Legally Blonde: a doc I am working with is convinced that somewhere in my bloodline I am related to Ms. Witherspoon as they say a sequal could be made called "medically blonde"...
4)Office Space: the scene where they take the fax/copier out to the desert and beat it to smithereens with a baseball bat. Plus it would be cool if you could be hypnotized to not care about anything at all.
5)Notting Hill: Hugh Grant romantic flick. I just absolutely love a sappy romantic comedy.

Newly, I didn't know you were an Almodovar fan! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
I have two favs.
1. Casablanca. Bogey and Bergman. Talk about a great love story!!!!
2. Cinema Paradiso. Even knowing the end, I bawl my way through it.
Runners up include
Bringing up Baby with Hepburn and Grant
The Princess Bride, got to love those Rodents of Unusual Size
Rear Window
Well, I had one somewhat normal, color film in there. Oops. I forgot.... Clerks. One of the most funny movies I've ever seen.

Full Metal Jacket… ‘cause it’s only one of the coolest guy flicks ever.
Monsters Inc. …’cause my kids love it and know it line by line.
Braveheart... for the message of freedom and the cinematography.
Caddyshack... for obvious reasons.
You’ve Got Mail… ‘cause I’m a sap, although now that I think about the movie… it is about two people who have an EA over email and leave their respective boy friend / girl friend to be with one another… so in that respect I guess I have an issue with it. But Tom Hanks is a great actor and I seem to have a “thing” for Meg Ryan… so it’s on the list.

But, boy friends and girl friends aren't the same as husbands and wives, so it's okay.
Now, Voyager is awesome too. Bette Davis as a spinster who's NPD mother dies. Wonderful.

Oh... forgot to mention the Passion of the Christ. Maybe it was my bruised and battered emotional state at the time... but I cried my way thru that one... another great one for the cinematic quality as well.

Great, nice to have a topic now and then which has nothing to do with emotional needs, divorce, or infidelity.
Comedy - Blame It On The Bellboy
Historical - JFK
Drama - Family Plot (Hitchcock`s Swan Song)
Musical - A Hard Day`s Night
Sci Fi - Galaxy Quest
Foreign - The Gods Must Be Crazy
and just about anything by Woody Allen

C'mon Standing, there has to be a chic flick you like <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Buttercup: Your going to leave your favorite movie to my imagination? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Does it have the name Debbie in the title? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

LH
Can`t do much about being a man, but hmmm, woman movies??
Used to like "Bridges of Madison County" until my x-wife used it to justify leaving me for the man of her dreams. (in her case, she did get out of that pick-up truck and ran!) Somehow, I will never look at Clint Eastwood the same way.
But, ok, how about: Terms of Endearment
10 other random greats which come to mind:
Wizard of Oz
It`s A Wonderful Life
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Sound of Music
The Graduate
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Ten Commandments
Kentucky Fried Movie
Foul Play
What`s Up Doc

Shawshank Redemption Wife cheated on him (like me), falsely accused (like me), falsely convicted, imprisoned, very intelligent, determined, overcame all odds to be successful and defeat his enemies. Also demonstrates the hypocrisy of some Christians. I'm an atheist. Andy Dufresne character has same personality type as me, INTJ. http://www.typetango.com/intj-personality.php
