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

Other fav's that I can't really rank:
Fried Green Tomatoes
Driving Miss Daisy

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

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.

Franny Granny you are cracking me up! I almost started laughing in a customer's ear when I read your post. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif My favorite line is "See daddy, sinners have soul too."

Mence II Society, The Little Mermaid, The Last Dragon,and KINGS OF COMEDY

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....

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!
