Maybe I should be ashamed to admit it, but I really enjoyed "Beavis and Butthead Do America."

[dqmomof3]

My very favorite..."IQ" with Meg Ryan. I love that movie!!

My least favorite movie...The Perfect Storm!

[caspi]

O Brother Where Art Thou?
Pretty Woman

[twodoor2]

My very favorite..."IQ" with Meg Ryan. I love that movie!!

My least favorite movie...The Perfect Storm!

Is IQ the one where Walter Matthau plays Einstein? I always wanted to see that.

Speaking of bad movies with lots of special effects, I absolutely despised "Independence Day." I cannot stand unrealistic films, and I also hated the one made by the same people that made "Independence Day" - it was about the weather going crazy on Earth and starred Dennis Quaid - I forget the name. It was horrible!!

[andeefig]

My least favorite movie...The Perfect Storm!


What's kinda' funny about that (except for the fact that it's a true and tragic story that took place here in Mass.) is the the ship is the Andrea Gail. I'm Andrea and my mom's name is Gail, so my hubby and dad get a big kick out of that. We'll go out shopping for the day and when we come in with a ton of bags. they'll say, "here comes the perfect storm!" ;)

[Jacob'sDad]

Sargent York
Life is Beautiful
Legends of the Fall
Raising Arizona
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
About Schmidt
The Changeling
Hero (Jet Li)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Straight Story (true story of an old man who rides a lawnmower across three states to see his sick brother who he hasn't talked to in 10 years. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff)
Where the Heart Is (OK, I admitted it:p)
The Iron Giant
The Yearling
The Blues Brothers
The Breakfast Club

Kind of a sappy list for a guy, huh Marsha?

I love movies about people overcoming incredible odds, or sticking to their beliefs no matter what, or trying to correct mistakes they have made in their lives. Also, when people have to face harsh reality and do it bravely.
Even though war movies would definitely seem to fit my description of what I like, I don't really care much for them because I know that war is hell, but to me, it is just awful too watch (too painful). I didn't see "The Passion of the Christ" for the same reason. Oddly, probably my favorite movie of all time is "Sergent York", which is a war movie.

[Mama2H]

The Matrix movies
7 Brides for 7 Brothers (really old musical)
Any Indiana Jones flick
War of the Worlds
Interview with a Vampire
Men in Black
I am Legend (have a love hate with this one)
Terminator movies
Sleepless in Seattle
The Village
Signs (pretty much love any M Night Shyamalan movie can't wait for The Happening to come out)
Lady in the Water
The Sixth Sense

[hold48398]

Oh, I enjoy so many movies, many of them already listed but I wanted to add that the all-time FUNNIEST MOVIE SCENE EVER is in the 40-year old virgin, when the guy gets a waxing. OMG I still get histerical when i see it!!! If you haven't seen it, it is a MUST SEE!! Also, if you watch it again, check out the face of the Cosmetologist- I guarantee you she is not an actress but a real Cosmetologist because her face is worth a million bucks!!!

My personal favorite is probably Office Space. One of the few movies I can watch over and over again LOL. Also loved Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump.

My hubby's favorite ought to be Braveheart. I think he easily saw this flick a dozen times, on and off scenes.

My kids favorite is probably Ice Age and any of the ScoobyDoo Movies.
:)

[emilyandkevsmom]

Little Miss Sunshine
Willy Wonka and the Cholcolate Factory (the old one)
The Princess Bride
Spirited Away (probably my top favorite)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I am a sucker for old musicals, my favorite is My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn

[OSUMom]

A Christmas Story
Finding Nemo
Overboard
West Side Story
are some

[twodoor2]

Kind of a sappy list for a guy, huh Marsha?


. . .and you don't want to see the SATC movie. . . because??? :confused:;)

I'm surprised "Beaches" isn't on your list.:p

[frizzyrazzy]

ahh,,see I knew I"d think of more after reading the other replies

Seven Brides...OMG...cheesiest musical EVER but so good. In fact, all the old musicals, Oklahoma, My Fair Lady...they're alll so good. I love them all.

Office Space - duh, how did I forget that...(there was just a funny Icanhascheezburger the other day about office space)

and the Blues Brothers... "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." if I had a dime for every time dh said that to me or I said that to dh we'd be rich LOL.

[Sandy's mom]

We're going to Chicago in a few weeks and when were 106 miles away I'm going to pull the car over and say that line. Except we don't smoke. Oh, and it won't be dark. And the tank won't be full. On second thought maybe I won't say it.:rolleyes:

[ADHDiabetic Mom]

Ohhhh..my turn, my turn - the Day After Tomorrow!

Is that the one where the whole world froze solid, and a bunch of kids were burning library books to stay alive? That WAS bad.

[ADHDiabetic Mom]

"You keep using this word 'Inconceivable,' I do not think it means what you think it means."

"I wonder if they are using the same wind we are using?" :confused:

[ADHDiabetic Mom]

I didn't see "The Passion of the Christ" for the same reason.

The Passion of the Christ wasn't a movie -- it was an out-of-body experience. I don't think I took a single breath for an hour and a half, and it was a good two hours after that before I could speak a word.

[Illinifan]

Good grief, I don't know if I'll be able to get them all:

The Passion of the Christ
The Visual Bible: Matthew
The Shawshank Redemption
The Princess Bride (Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die.)
All 6 Star Wars
All 3 Back to the Futures
First 3 Indiana Jones (4th one was eheh)
All 6 of the Rocky movies
The Breakfast Club
All of the Pixar flicks
Grease (Grease 2 too. A young Michelle Pfieffer, whoa)
Twelve Angry Men (the original with Henry Fonda)
My Fair Lady
Music Man
The Wizard of Oz
A Christmas Story
It's A Wonderful Life
Batman Begins
The Spiderman Trilogy
Both Fantastic Fours
All 3 X-Men flicks

and the movie my wife and kids will tell you is my favorite:

Roxanne

Some of the better nose jokes: Sympathetic: aw, what happened? Did your parents lose a bet with God? Complimentary: you must love the little birdies to give them this to perch on. Scientific: Say, does that thing there influence the tides? Obscure: whoa! I'd hate to see the grindstone. Well, think about it. Inquiring: when you stop to smell the flowers, are they afraid? French: saihr, ze pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave! Pornographic: ...<<edit: it's a family oriented website>>

[musicjunkie]

oh yeah,I forgot to add the musical that James Gondalfini(sp?) did...I think it was called Romance and Cigarettes? and I also like ANY Quentin Tarantino stuff:D

[BeckyND]

Here are some I can think of off the top of my head..

Shawshank Redemption
It's A Wonderful Life
Legends of the Fall
Sweet Home Alabama

~~Becky~~

[caspi]

I forgot to add Raising Arizona to my list! :D

[frizzyrazzy]

that's ok, we say it when we're still in MA. dh is from chicago so it still seems to work. LOL
And then usually if we're going to his mother's house I tell him "I'm on a mission from God" HAHAAH..

[zeb'smom]

I am so glad to see Shawshank on so many peoples list...I think this is one of the best movies ever. Dh and I could(and do) watch it again and again. I think Forrest Gump is Dh's all time favorite and real close to the top of my list. All of the Harry Potter movies because they are fun (but not as much fun as the books) and because I watch them with my kids. On Golden Pond (I LOVE Kathrine Hepburn (and am distantly related to her)) and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. Barefoot in the Park, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Operation Petticoat. Cast Away. The Money Pit (I too love the bathtub scene). The Princess Bride..."Have fun storming the castle". I Am David. Oh...so many but I think this gets most of them.

Worst movie....Showgirls....every cent spent making, selling, or seeing this movie was a waste...SO BAD. I also really didn't like No Country for Old Men...I know it won all kinds of awards but I hated it.

Rocky Horror! LOLOL

We used to go to the Exeter Street Theater in Boston to see RHPS! I can still be persuaded to do the Time Warp under the right circumstances.

"It's just a jump to the left..."

While we're resurrecting what's left of my college memories, how 'bout "The Harder They Come?"

~~Becky~~

[Jacob'sDad]

. . .and you don't want to see the SATC movie. . . because??? :confused:;)
I cannot relate to those women or their lifestyles in any way shape or form. I also think SJP looks like... http://www.92kqrs.com/article.asp?id=727442&SPID=6546

.
I'm surprised "Beaches" isn't on your list.

While my list might not contain many typical guy movies, I think the only blatantly chick flick on my list is "Where the Heart Is". I didn't find either of the lead characters in "Beaches" very interesting and I don't usually care for Bette Midler in anything.

BTW, I know you're just teasing me.:p;)

Legends of the Fall was good. Also happens to be one of my wife's favorites. And Fight Club. And Ocean's Eleven. And Mr. and Mrs. Smith. And Thelma and Louise. Get the idea?

Well that COULD be a movie title, but I think you would have to be over 18 to rent it.:p

[twodoor2]

Anyone else love foreign films? I'm always looking to rent something extraordinary.

"Europa Europa" is on my list. It came out in the late 80's or early 90's (I forget) but it's great. I also like Chinese foreign films, in particular anything with Gong Lee. I'm a big fan of early German silient cinema as well, like Metropolis, Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Calgiari.

[zeb'smom]

You watched that? :D

Okay....not proud but yes I saw Showgirls. What can I say....I was in High school and some friends wanted to see it and I went along. If I could I would remove the memory from my mind...it's wasting valuable (and these days limited) space in there. I knew it was gonna be bad...I just didn't know it how bad it really was.

[Big Hair Momma]

That Thing You Do

What I would like to know is why "Citizen Kane" was rated the top film of all time, and it's not on anyone's list??? I think Shawshank should be the top film of all time by the looks of it!!

[lil'Man'sMom]

Well I do not watch many movies or T.V. but my all time favorite is Bridges of Madison County...love, love Meryl Streep .

[Illinifan]

I can't believe I left the Lord of the Rings trilogy off my list! :eek:

I also love the movie "Army of Darkness".
It's a total riot with many great one liners.

I worked at a theater when Showgirls was out. Actually had to ID people and police the door so no one who bought a ticket to the other movie at the theater tried to sneak into showgirls. Elizabeth Berkely was seriously skanky looking in this movie, and the movie just plain sucked. I lost all respect for Kyle Maclachlan. Paul Atreides should never have stopped that low!


Hmmmm, movies, lets see....

Allene

[allisa]

I think all mine have been listed....


The only ones I think I HAVE NOT seen listed are :

Corrina, Corrina.....I just LOVE LOVE Whoopie in this movie !!

Some Kind of Wonderful ( 80's throwback.....I had such a crush on Eric Stoltz !!)

Real Genuis...watched this over & over in the 80's haven't seen it since...probbly stinks....but I loved it at the time ....same with the Outsiders !!

Radio Flyer.....if you want to cry....this will do it......

Terms of Endearment....need I say more ? It has everything you'd want !

Pulp Fiction

Spanglish.....Adam Sandler is tender and sweet....who knew ??

The Story of Us ( Bruce willis & Michelle Pfieffer divorcing )

Crash


Seem to be repeats :


I love Shawshank Redemption just like everyone else....you all know Steven King wrote that novella, right....is in his book 4 seasons ( 4 differnet short stories)....the very first time I saw a commercial for Shawshank....I got chills...because I LOVED the story. They did not advertise that it was a Stephen King story....but I knew it had to be the same.....and it was 100% true to the book ( like movies NEVER are !!) ETA: I think this movie would not have been the same without Morgan Freeman...he was wonderful !

Forrest Gump ( I know every line and must be irritating to watch this with! )

Big Fat Greek Wedding....same as above

Lord of The Ring Stories....who knew....I was shocked to discover I liked them !!

Christmas Story....so great......

Grease....yes....say what you want....I LOVE it !!

The Sound of Music.....I am a nerd, no ??

Sixth Sense

[twodoor2]

I've probably watched "The Sound of Music" more times than any other movie, and I know practically the entire screenplay and songs by heart. Great film. I remember as a child I wanted to be a nun since I liked how they dressed. I was a weird child. Rogers and Hammerstein were awsome songwriters.

[StillMamamia]

Some Kind of Wonderful ( 80's throwback.....I had such a crush on Eric Stoltz !!)

Lord of The Ring Stories....who knew....I was shocked to discover I liked them !!




Whoa, me too...Eric Stoltz...the let-me-teach-you-how-to-kiss-scene :D watch it like a gazillion times :o I even cut my hair like the blond girl (what's her name), in my feeble attempt to try to be cool....dind't work:(

Lord of the Rings....MY ALLTIME FAVORITE...forgot to list that one...I've been waiting since I was 14 for a good movie to come out on the trilogy...and it did it justice!!!

[kiwikid]

Grease
WaterWorld
I Robot
Disneys Robin Hood :cwds:

Dirty Dancing is my all time fav.. for many many years..

Other movies I like are:
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
A Walk to Remember

Most horror movies

I'm sure there are more, but these are all I am thinking of at the moment.

Like many of you, we are big movie buff. It's hard to go into a Blockbuster with out saying, "seen it...seen it...seen it...."

But my go to sleeper favorites include (and are not limited to):

On Golden Pond
It's a mad,mad,mad,mad world
Murder by Death
Casablanca
Love Actually
The Usual Suspects

YO ADRIAN!!!!

I jus' picked up Rocky I through Rocky IV at Wal-Mart. 1 and 2 were packaged together and 3 and 4 were packaged together at the low, low price of $9 each. So I got 4 great movies in both full and widescreen versions for less than 20 bucks. Yeah me!

I enjoy movies so I can't say I have ever watched a movie I hated. Wait, I was completely annoyed at the Tom Cruise War of the World's flick so much so that I was irrational and seething for days afterward.

My personal favorite movie of all time: To Kill a Mockingbird.

I even cut my hair like the blond girl (what's her name), in my feeble attempt to try to be cool....dind't work:(




LMAO....I knew the short hair would never work on me...but yes....in high school that scene was the ultimate to me.....now I watch it as an adult...and i think...what the $%**....he spent how much money on diamond earrings ???


And to the one who mentioned We are the TItans...yes...I love that movie as well...it was just on Disney Chanel....we laugh & cry and recite all the words.....

If you have never watched Steel Magnolias, you may not want to. Julia Roberts plays a young woman with Type 1. Don't want to give away spoilers, but I haven't been able to watch it since Ds was dxed four years ago. It is still one of my favorite movies full of great quotes. It is just too hard to watch now.

All the movies I love have already been mentioned. I do have to agree with shawshank Redemption. (Watch it every time it's on) Like almost all of the movies Tom Hanks is in. Steel Magnolias is my all time favorite. (Weezer, ya got to love her)

My all time UN-Favorite. (Thanks to hubby chasing me around the house when its on) is Roadhouse.
