What's your favorite Movie?
I recently watched a movie that just came out on video. It didn't do very well I don't think, but this movie touched my heart like no other movie has. I can't explain why it did, but I know that this movie just seemed to really pull me in. It's an incredible movie about a young woman's strength. If I think about it long enough, I get teary! Anyway, I think that I've labeled it as my favorite.
"Where the Heart Is" Other movies I love: Steal Magnolias, Gone with the Wind, The Truth about Cats and Dogs, Grease (musical, but you know what I mean), The Wizard of Oz, Funny Face, and cheesy--but--So I married an Ax Murderer--I laugh my butt off at that movie! |
I have a few movies that I loved:
The Usual Suspect Raising Arizona (funny as heck) Scream 3 (I didn't like 1 or 2) Kings of Comedy (I saw it 4 times still made me laugh til tears ran down my face). That's all I can think of right now |
Love the topic http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
Stand By Me - alltime fav! Other fav's that I can't really rank: Fried Green Tomatoes Driving Miss Daisy A League of Their Own GREASE (of course!) Weekend at Bernie's - HILARIOUS! Ace Ventura - Ditto Pretty Woman Lethal Weapon 1 & 2, 3 was pushing it, 4 - puh-lease...leathal geriatrics http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ "Alpha Chi Omega - If you only had 2 wishes, what would your second one be?" |
I can't believe I forgot about Fried Green Tomatos, A Legue of their Own, and Pretty Woman . . . Got them all on video--I guess they are just a given for me! LOL

My all time favorite movie is The Color Purple. It doesn't matter how many times I see it, I still cry.

Hey, Stand by Me...good one!
My favorites: Ferris Bueller's Day Off(in high school, I looked just like Cameron...that movie made life miserable for a while, but it was so good) The Breakfast Club The Untouchables (All time favorite) Dr. Strangelove The Ten Commandments (Love the grand productions) Dead Poets Society The Matrix Saving Private Ryan Failsafe finally, either Toy Story Movie - I got sick of them at first because my two sons literally wore the tapes out, but, the humor is more adult level in some areas - I'd howl with laughter, but the kids didn't get the jokes) Oops...forgot Liar Liar - "The ******** pen is BLUE!" I laugh myself to tears with that one.... [This message has been edited by LXAAlum (edited November 15, 2000).] |

Gotta ditto "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller" ("Bueller...Bueller...Bueller..." http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif) Also have to add "My Fellow Americans" - how could I not have remembered that one during this wonderful time http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Never have I laughed so hard in a movie theater!

The color Purple is most certaintly up there! I thought I was one of the only people in the world that loved that movie!!!
"Sista... you've been on my mind, ohhh sista... we're two of a kind, ohhh sista..." But my most favoritest movie in the whole wide world is Coming Home. It's an old vietnam movie with John Voight (boy was he hot when he was young!) and Jane Fonda. It is one of the best romances of all time! I totally recommend seeing it! After that, I would have to say... Braveheart Clash of the Titans The 60's Forrest Gump Green Mile |
I too love:
Gone with the Wind Steel Magnolias Grease Wuthering Heights (with a hunky Lawrence Olivier...ooh la la!) If I may make a suggestion, run, don't walk to see Billy Elliott. It is an AWESOME movie, Oscar material for sure! http://www.ew.com/ew/features/000818...img/elliot.jpg If you see it, please come back and post and tell how you liked it. You won't be disappointed!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |
My Favorite movie of all time is The Breakfast Club. I've seen that movie about 2 million times but every time it comes on TBS or TNT I have to watch it. My favorite part in the movie is the whole lunch scene.
Claire is setting up her lunch and Bender is looking at her stangely B: What's that C:Sushi(pause) raw fish,rice,and seawee B: You won't accept a guy's tounge in you're mouth,but you're gonna eat that? C: Can I eat B: I don't know give it a try Other faves: Sliding Doors- my roommate this semester loves that movie and watches constently. It's a really good movie Adventures in Babysitting Heathers Animal House Revenge of the Nerds When Harry Met Sally Ferris Buller's Day Off Sixteen Candles Carrie Grease |
Favorite movies:
All about Eve "Hold on, it's going to be a bumpy ride.." Imitation of Life "Maaaaammmmmaaaaaaa!!!!!" (yelled while running after then falling on the casket) The Shawshank Redemption (Tim Robbins was so cool!!) Good Will Hunting love jones "You cooked breakfast?!?!?!" The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz (the Lion is my favorite in both) The Grinch who Stole Christmas (I'm afraid to go see the new one) The Joy Luck Club (Long but Good) |
This is a cool topic. I love talking about movies. Here are some of my favorites:
Star Wars The Shawshank Redemption Seven Pulp Fiction Halloween Robocop The Usual Suspects The Godfather Swingers Reservoir Dogs About Billy Elliott...I will go on record right now and say that that movie will be nominated for Best Picture. Not because I liked it; in fact, I haven't seen it, and I don't plan on seeing it, because it doesn't look like my kind of movie. But it's one of those "Full Monty" kind of British movies that you just know the Academy is going to go apeshit over. |
Some of my favorite movies are GREASE, my best friend's wedding, Center Stage, Coyote Ugly ( i was on drill team in high school so i pretty much like any movie with dancing) and i also like Road Trip. I NEVER go to see a movie twice while its still out in theatres, but i did with this one. For some reason i thought it was SO FUNNY. I dont think its out on video yet, along with maybe a couple of other ones i mentioned earlier
|
My Faves: The Crow, Saving Private Ryan, & How the Grinch Stole Christmas (I have the slippers & boxers too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif )
I absolutely love all of the other posted too!! |
Me again....I forgot to add
The Lost Boys An a$$ kickin' vampire movie! Wa Hoo! |
So many movies to choose from...
Say Anything ("I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen") Con Air (odd as it seems, sentimental reasons) All time favorite: Heathers |
I just watched As Good As It Gets because i have to write an abnormal psychology term paper on it. All i have to say is that I am sorry i didnt watch it earlier. LOVED IT!! I am thinking about going out to buy the movie and its definitely a favorite. I almost cried towards the end. Wonderful... and one of the CUTEST dogs i have ever seen, besides mine of course!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
|
For recent movies, I would have to say American Beauty, Being John Malkovich and Dick.
All time favorites: Mallrats, History of the World Part I, Lady and the Tramp, Austin Powers, The Jerk, Vacation, The Sound of Music.... Hehe, there are a lot of movies that I like, although, I tend to be pretty picky. Either it holds my attention span completely or I lose interest or figure it out halfway through... |

I have been gone too long off this board! Ok, so let me jump in here. My favorite movie is Clueless! I don't know why, but that movie is the stupidest movie in the world, ya just gotta love it! "As if!" I've watched it like 20 gazillion times cuz it's the first movie I bought. And that was an amazing feat for me cuz I don't buy movies!
Anyway, my other favs are: Interview w/ the Vampire (I'm not a big Brad Pitt fan, but he looked damn good in that movie...even though he was "dead" and had fangs. Tom was cool too) Ferris Bueller (I can watch that over and over) Soul Food Love Jones Menace II Society Pretty Woman Joy Luck Club The Matrix (I can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd!) Kings of Comedy (I nearly died of laughter!) Mannequin (has anyone ever seen this? It's an 80s movie) Pocahontas (despite it's historical background being wrong or right, it was a good movie) Aladdin (I've got the movie and soundtrack!) Higher Learning (talk about a movie w/ some serious ISSUES and stereotypes! Whoa!) ANY James Bond movie--old and new! ("My name is Bond..." you fill in the rest. Bond is THE MAN! Connery and Bronson are awesome!) Batman--1 and 2, the 3rd was ok. You've Got Mail (predictable, but cute. I'm a sucker for romantic comedy) While You Were Sleeping (Ok, if you've seen this, remember the kid falling off the bike? LOL!!!! My friend and I laughed SO hard at that! I was so glad we rented it cuz we rewound that part like 4 times!) Liar, Liar Toy Story (didn't see #2) She's The One (predictable, but I love the dance scene) Sister Act Too Con Air (I'm not an action type person, but this was damn good) Seven 12 Monkeys (ok, after watching this movie at least 100 times...I still don't get it..what the hell!? But for some reason I like it. Maybe cuz I'm trying to figure it all out. I don't know!) Austin Powers--1 and 2 but I like the 1st better Murder in the First (Damn fine movie! Kevin Bacon shoulda got an Oscar for that performance) As Good As It Gets--that dog is TOO cute! Titanic Selena Dirty Dancing Dead Poets Society Far and Away (that one w/ Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) Legends of the Fall ok this is long as hell, so I'll quit now.

My favorite recent movies:
Charlie's Angels Never been kissed crul intentions My all time favorites: Dirty Dancing Grease Mermaids Willy Wanka and the chocolate factory ------------------ "Only The Best Get Crowned" |
Here are my favorites by genre:
Comedy: Any movie by the Zucker Bros. (Airplane, Naked Gun trilogy, High School High) and/or featuring Leslie Nielson. Smokey & the Bandit (1&2, 3 is kinda wack). Police Academy 1-4 (5-7 are weak w/o Steve Guttenberg). Any Jim Carrey flick (They're stupid, but you just can't help laughing). The Out of Towners (the original 1970 flick with Jack Lemmon is TEN TIMES better than the current Goldie Hawn/Steve Martin remake). The Odd Couple II (that argument b/t Felix and Oscar about the trifecta/fourfecta/fivefecta had me ROTFLMNBAO). Animal House Drama: Patton (a MUST RENT) Nixon (I have never heard a president cuss so much in my life) JFK (got a little longwinded after a while, but still good). The Negotiator Pulp Fiction ("This is a TASTY burger!") Titanic Brittanic (sister ship to the Titanic and having a similar plotline to that of Titanic) Horror April Fools Day Disaster Any of the "Airport" movies ('70,'75,'77,'79) The Poseidon Adventure Earthquake (1974) Earthquake in New York (1999) The Los Angeles Earthquake (1990) Hurricane Volcano The Day After Sci-Fi Any movie parodied by Mystery Science Theater 3000 MST3K: The Movie Black (predominately Black cast) The Josephine Baker story Introducing Dorothy Dandridge House Party trilogy Booty Call (a little on the ghetto side, but HEE-LARIOUS). Nutty Professor Jo Jo Dancer Soul Food The Court Martial of Jackie Robinson Adult: Email me for this one (just kidding, just kidding http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif) Sorry so long. Rain Man |
Rain Man-
You are too hilarious! I also like the Naked Gun, Airplane, High School High, and love MST:3K. I hate it went off the air. I still laugh at Friday everytime I watch it. I like Grease and Eraser. |
Gotta add 2 more:
Dirty Dancing - my husband (who never went to movies so I had to catch him up on all the 80's) is so freaking funny when this is on (which is like Thurs - Sun nights somewhere either on TBS, TNT, or WGN) - he'll pick my cat up during the final dance scene, and swing him around like Jennifer Grey while singing in this totally stupid voice. I know its a "just gotta be there" thing - but I'm cracking up just thinking about it. My Cousin Vinny - oh my gosh - let me just sum it up with "The 2 Youts, Your Honor" - and "No self respectin' southerner eats instant grits" --- how funny was this movie?! We should just buy it because we rent it so much (of course its on all the time too!) ------------------ "Alpha Chi Omega - If you only had 2 wishes, what would your second one be?" |
My fav's include:
*THE COLOR PURPLE *JACKIE BROWN (she's still a BADDD sista) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif *FRIDAY ( i know ALL the words) *THE SIXTH SENSE *ALL 80's HORROR (those are classics) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
I have to agree that The Sixth Sense is definitely great. Other favorites of mine are Dirty Dancing, Titanic, Grease, Pretty in Pink, and The Breakfast Club. These are all movies that I could watch a couple times in every week. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

MY FAVORITES MOVIES ARE
