Favourite Films

[Ali]

Okay, I'm almost ashamed to post my list because it shows how completely un-intellectual I am.    But here we go:

(In no particular order)
Overboard - This one is probably sentimental because my cousins and I used to watch it all of the time when we stayed at my grandma's house.  But it just makes me really happy to watch it.
Stepbrothers - gets funnier every single time I watch it
Ron Burgandy - ditto
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
Back to the Future 1
Heathers
The Princess Bride (also an amazing book)
All of the X Men movies
Planet of the Apes 1-3 (4 and 5 don't really do it for me)
Goonies

Amicale - I might not list it as an all time favorite, but I do agree that "Where the Heart Is" is a lovely little movie.

The Green Mile
Back to the Future 1
All of the X Men movies
Planet of the Apes 1-3 (4 and 5 don't really do it for me)

Good choice! I like these movies, especially The Green Mile- It's fantastic and horrible at the same time. I couldn't stop crying when they told the prisoner (can't remember his name) lies about the mouse :c But it's a good movie.

If I gave a list, it would just go on and on; so many I have liked.  Instead, I'll name one which surprised me so much, recently.  I used to read lots of reviews to determine what I would see, but now I know which reviewers I trust, and which actors I will watch, no matter what they do, so that I can be completely surprised and immersed by a film without much hint of what will be transpiring.  I tend to only complete about half of the movies I begin to watch these days, but when I actually finish one, that is when I read the in depth reviews by the real observers of the film genres.

Leaves of Grass with Edward Norton bowled me over; so many twists and turns.  The movie completely captivated me... and no, it is not about Walt Whitman.

Will Ferrell was just on Conan O'Brien last night or the night before and announced there will be an Anchorman sequel.

I've never seen the ones in your list I bolded/underlined. Other than that, wow would you be easy to watch movies with! The rest of the ones you mentioned I've seen, and liked some of them would be on my list, just didn't think to -- Family Man, The Stand, Neverending Story, League of their Own....

High five for being cool. 

[Asmodean]

Neverending Story

Yes, I remember liking that one as a kid. Not the two though - it sort of... Sucked, really.

Neverending Story

Oh, I don't like any of the sequels much at ALL, I love the first one. It creeped me out as a little kid, and was just very fun as an older kid.

The following are not in any particular order.
Fiddler on the Roof
Cold Comfort Farm
The Englishman Who went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain
Alien
Aliens
Robinson Crusoe on Mars

Sense and Sensibility
2001: A Space Odyssey
Silverado
El Dorado (animated)
El Dorado (Western)
The Princess Bride
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Haunted

[Space Pope Approved]

I enjoy plenty of movies, but I think the only ones I can watch all the way through over and over are:
The Princess Bride
Bram Stoker's Dracula (Coppola's version)
Raiders of the Lost Arc
The Last Crusade
Star Wars (the original movies)

There are others that I really enjoyed seeing once or twice, but more than that in the same year would bore me.  The English Patient, for example.  LOTR also falls into this group just because the films are so long.  Maybe if I had a better couch...

... Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain ...

By pure coincidence, my wife and I ended up in front of « Le Café les Deux Moulins » in Montmartre, Paris. We could both hear in our minds the theme song. Beautiful movie.

Other great films:

Master and Commander (2003)
The Matrix (1999)
The Aviator (2004)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Many many more

The Last Night

Blade Runner
Easy Rider
Logan's Run
When a Stranger Calls
The Stand

The Stand and Logan's Run are both really cool. I've loved Logan's Run for years, it's a neat story. I prefer the book better than the movie in both cases, but both movies were good interpretations, I think.
