My top 10 all time favorite movies would have to be 1) Gone With the Wind, 2) There's Something About Mary, 3) The Holiday, 4) The Sound of Music, 5) The Sixth Sense, 6) Practical Magic, 7) Titanic, 8) The Pursuit of Happyness, 9) Atonement, 10) The Chronicles of Narnia--The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe. I like each one of them for completely different reasons. Gone With the Wind--well who can resist a historical movie with fabulous costumes and beautiful actors (please look at George Clooney in Oh Brother Where Art Thou and tell me he doesn't look just like Clark Gable--he could so play him in an updated remake!)? There's Something About Mary--too many funny moments to count. I think my favorite would have to be the zipper scene! The Holiday--Jude Law--"horrible weeper" and "Mr. Napkin Head" and Jack Black and his "scroodledy dooo"--perfectly paired up couples make you really want to be there--and that cottage in Surrey is pretty fabulous too! The Sound of Music--ahhh...young love, communists, Eidelweiss, alps and Julie Andrews. The Sixth Sense--because I didn't figure it out until about 5 minutes before it was revealed and I love movies that keep me guessing constantly while I try to figure out the psychology of the characters. Practical Magic--the line "I dream of a love time will lie down and be still for" and the mix of actors/characters is perfect along with the fabulous setting and story line. Titanic--ah--"my heart will go on"--how can you not love that????? The Pursuit of Happyness--goes to show what can happen when you refuse to give up no matter how crappy life seems to treat you. Atonement--sometimes things aren't supposed to work out like in the movies. It's honesty is what attracted me the most. And finally, The Chronicles of Narnia--again, wondeful actors, sets, and maybe a little bit of sentimentality because the book was a favorite of mine as a child.
