My favorite movie I'd say is Jaws, the first one. Compared to the movies now it seems a little corny but it never fails to make me think twice about salt water.



What's your favorite movie?

I would have to go with Star Wars, the orignal one. It's the first movie I saw more than once (I was 13 and I think I saw it 5 times). It seemed to have a little of everything in it, it left me feeling very satisfied at the end, and I happen to enjoy science fiction. Plus it brings back warm memories of my dad.

I have too many favorites! I think that's why my hubby says I'm indecisive...


Classic movie is Gone With The Wind. LA Confidential is fav modern movie. Lord of the Rings definitely fav fantasy/sci-fi. (Hubby is a HUGE Star Wars fan - we have a whole room full of SW toys - so I got burned out on those).

BTW, I'm so excited! I got my baby Trent as my avatar (little pic by my name)!!!
Isn't he just adorable?!?!?

Wow! That's a tough choice, so I narrowed it down to 3. My all time favorite has to be Farewell to the King, with Nick Nolte, The Usual Suspects, and Spinal Tap.

Well, two of my faves- I own them on DVD and watch them both frequently are The Matrix and Castaway. I could watch Castaway a gazillion times and never get tired of it- I cry every single time I watch it.

Movin' on up!
Definitely, Gone With the Wind. I've, always, been crazy about old movies and Clark Gable, even though he died, when I was 2. Casablanca and The African Queen are high on my list, too. Bogey was one of the greatest.

The Matrix would be pretty high on my list, too. So would Gone with the Wind and My Fair Lady. I used to think Audrey Hepburn was so classy. Oh, and The Sound of Music. But if it was only one movie for the rest of my life, I stick with my original pick.

Lots of wonderful films out there though, aren't there?

There's soooo many to choose from!!!! Let me think...I love American Pie, and recently, American Pie 2. Those are my alltime fav comedies out there. Ummmm, for a romance, I'd have to say probably Pretty Woman. Horror: Either The Shining, or The Exorcist.(but I can't watch either of them by myself!!)Yes, I'm a big chicken :chicken: when it comes to scary movies! Castaway is good, I love Tom Hanks. And anything with Richard Gere in it, I'm there. I don't care how horrible of a movie it is, I love him to pieces!! He's such a sexy, older man....

AP2 is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time
Everytime I hear the Alien Ant Farm version of Smooth Criminal I think of poor 'Jeem' and his crazy glue..."Uhhh, I seem to have glued myself to uhhh myself..." :laughing:

Oldies, but still great? Gone With the Wind and the Wizard of Oz. Like Sunlion, I love the African Queen. The pairing of Hepburn and Bogart was masterful. Now, I enjoy almost anything with Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Mel Gibson, and Harrison Ford. The Net, The Game--I can't pick fewer than ten. It's a Wonderful Life is excellent also.

Melissa!!! I love the Matrix too
And I know what you mean about Castaway, everytime he loses Wilson, I start crying... :LOL: I KNOW it's just a volleyball, but it is STILL so sad!!!!


A few of my favorite movies are:

Fried Green Tomatoes
Gone in 60 seconds
City of Angles
KingPin
Sweet November
Girl Interupted
A Knight's Tale


There are several more, but that's what came to mind.

Reading this, I left out a few, too!


8MM (Freaky wierd sick and twisted movie, but I love it! I'm not allowed to watch it if hubby is home, though. What a wuss!) I have a thing for Joaquin Phoenix - don't ask me why cuz I don't understand it myself.

Gia - I just love Angelina Jolie. She is one of the most beautiful women around.
