What's your favorite Movie?

[mgdzkm433]

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!

[Stace1920]

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

The Breakfast Club
The Untouchables (All time favorite)
Dr. Strangelove
The Ten Commandments (Love the grand productions)

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)

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!

[prdlocal]

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

[CutiePie2000]

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!

[prospectiverushee]

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

Adventures in Babysitting
Heathers
Animal House

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.

[bucutie02]

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

[Q-T Pie]

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 )

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

[bucutie02]

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

[juniorgrrl]

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...

Yall are killin me, that is my favorite!!! My cousins and I sit around and quote lines from this movie and laugh with tears in our eyes. It was such a poignant film. I get teary eyed just thinking about two scenes: (1) When Shug is singing in the juke joint and comes walking and SANGING down the hill to the church (2) When Miss Celie and Nettie meet again in the end and they start playing hand games. Misty-eyed now! Gotta go... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif

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:

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)

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

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.

[AXO Alum]

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!)

"Where the Heart Is" is my favorite too! It is so inspiring because of the way that the main character makes it through hard times with the help of her friends and her own perserverence. It really leaves you with a positive outlook. The book is the same way, but better. Thanks for reminding me of that awsome movie, I think I'll go rent it tomorrow.

From the 80s:

The Goonies--how can you not laugh everytime you hear Data say "SLICK SHOES" and "CHESTER COPPERPOT"?

16 Candles--I wish everyone could have a Long Duck Dong "Autooooomobile!"

Adventures in Babysitting--I had a massive crush on Keith Coogan and I used to spend my allowance $$$ buying Teen Beat and BOP for his posters.

and who could forget...

Dirty Dancing--I've watched this movie over and over again since I was 8, and though I really love this movie, only now have I come to accept how cheesy the lines are.

And movies of today...

CENTERSTAGE--this movie pretty much summarized everything I've dreamed of as a little girl.

and the one that takes it all...

COYOTE UGLY!!! I swear I will work in a bar like that one day!
