This is a terrific post. My favorites are:
1. SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (I could watch this over and over again).
2. ROCKYS II and III (Yo Adrianne!!!)
3. IMITATION OF LIFE (this seems to be the favorite)
4. PRINCE OF EGYPT ( I just LOOOVE this movie, especially the parting of the Red Sea).
5. LOVE AND BASKETBALL (I think Saana Lathan is wonderful).
6. THE COLOR PURPLE (Yet another favorite. Booceelee Ma-Ma!!!)
I can't think of any more at this moment, but these are my ABSOLUTE favorites.
