What are your favorite all-time movies???
Maybe we could limit it to 5-10 (for those, like myself, that are complete fanatics!). I thought it could be a little fun to see how everyone's taste may differ!


So name your favorites!!!!!

Ooooh my favourites.... These are the movies I can watch over and over and over and over and... well you get the picture!

Lord of the Rings trilogy
All Pixar movies
Mary Poppins
Princess Bride

I've just finished watching the LOTR trilogy over the last week and just put Princess Bride in today. All these movies I can pop on, and go do something else and not have to actually sit down and watch, but still enjoy it since I know every line!

In no particular order, subject to change on a daily basis, and boy was it hard to winnow it down from the 150 movies I wanted to list...



That Thing You Do

Close Encounters

As Good As It Gets

Cast Away

Field of Dreams

Chinatown

The Big Chill

The Music Man

Toy Story

Barbarosa

(Does anyone else remember Barbarosa? Willie Nelson, Gary Busey, 1982. A perfect little gem of a movie.)
