I can't begin to tell you how much I love movies. I've rated 600+ movies at Netflix probably having seen more than that in the theater. I really don't care if a film is a great work of art or has great acting. On the other hand, if the acting looks like chimps could have done it better, I'm probably... review »

a movie buff

I am tempted to write about my favorite movies from each era but that could get boring. My first and most simple characteristic that a movie has to have to make my list is must grab my attention and provide an escape from the daily grind. If I am looking at my watch, or nodding off then it simply is not a good movie (in my world).

In no particular order my picks are:

Beauty and the Beast- the updated version that made it onto Broadway. I think this is a great movie with a great independent, smart, girl role model. The beast is adorable (as the beast-- not so much as the Prince) and the songs...

Here is my list in no particular order. please note- I like off beat movies.
1. Shawshank Redemption- it is alway on TV, and I watch it every time. Such a great story, great acting.
2.Tetsuo- The Iron Man- One of the most messed up foreign films you will see. You need to watch it over and  over to truely understand it.
3. Citizen Toxie- The Toxic Avenger 4- I love Troma movies. They are ridiculous, low budget, and hilarious. Toxic Avenger is a wonderful character, and number 4 has the best storyline.
4.The Lion King- Bet you didn't expect to see this on here.. One of the best disney movies I have...

I love favorites lists because they make no sense. They make no sense because they are based on what a person likes not what the critic thinks is good. Why we like something sometimes makes no sense at all. I have been a list maker for many years and the lists change all the time A movies comes along that disrupts the list and forces change. Here is the list for 8-3-09. Most of the titles have been on my list of 25 favorite movies for some time. Now to cut my list to 15 by eliminating 10 of my favorites.

1) The Thin Man: A great read and a great movie. William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and...

This is a subject that I could write very much about. I have a very diverse taste in movies. Most of the movies that I have seen in the Theatre have been ''kid' or 'Family' movies and usually I go thinking I will be bored, but MANY of these movies have caught my attention.

I like good characters, good plot (but it does not have to be believable, love a fantasy or a romantic comedy. The characters and plot just have to suck you in - make you forget you are in a theatre (or home watching a rental), just make you feel like you are part of the movies.

Its hard for me to pick only 15 movies as so many...

Hollywood is known for its good and its bad. It's a place one can go and escape the troubles of the world for a few hours Following is a list of the 15 movies that I know fully well I can watch over and over again; Not in chronological order or years or importance. It is just a set of movies that I fell in love with and consider them favorites. For the most part, I ran into these movies via cable tv; some I saw once they came out, some I just took a chance on. Hopefully you will too.

1.Now, Voyager(1942)- I dont know about you, but seeing Bette Davis go from a straight up ugly duckling to a swan...

waiting for the DVD

With money being tight and with so many movies coming out on DVD, I just wait.  We own a movie projector so it is like having our own theater right in our home.

Some movies I would highly recommend seeing that have come out in 2008-

Twilight, I read the books and actually didn't wait for this to come out on DVD, though after seeing it I almost wished I had.  Maybe I am a big tight with my money, but being frugal now days isn't such a bad thing.

Wall-E, saw this on DVD.  We loved the movie shorts that were on it almost as much as the main movie.  Superb movie for families with kids of all ages. ...

In choosing 15 movies to recommend that everyone see, I would have list why everyone should see them. I would say that a movie is on my list of all time favorites because overall it is great, but specifically it has to have a good story that is easy to follow. It has to grab my attention and keep it. It needs to have great visual quality, good acting and overall just be fun to watch. I believe that watching a movie should be an awesome experience... it should transport you into the story and make you FEEL like you are a part of it. Movies that you would want to watch over and over and over and...

Ghostbusters Never gets old or dated.  Bill Murray at his best

Cloverfield perfectly done.  Scared the daylights out of me

Zelig Wood Allen's second best film

What's Up, Tiger Lily?  Woody Allen's funniest film. Forget Annie Hall, this one will make you hurt yourself from laughing

Caddyshack Classic featuring several brilliant comedians in their prime

Hot Shots part 1

Hot Shots part deux

Naked Gun 1-3

Star Wars Trilogy Classic!

Air Plane 1 & 2

George Romero's Living Dead franchise

Poltergeist Still pretty scary

Jaws Still has the power to make you fear the water

The Producers (original cast) Clever and outragous...

1. If you want a great love story, it HAS to be Bram Stoker's Dracula, it is the greatest love story EVER made.  The actors are awesome, the story is timeless and even Drac made me fall in love all over again.

2. The Wedding Singer-how can you not fall for Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore?  Adam with his amazing voice and Drew with her quirkiness that is so endearing.  Again, made me belive that nice guys definately finish best.

3. The Shawshank Redempition-Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman tell the tale of a budding relationship in the worst of all conditions.  The hope that is given throughout...

My top 15 movies is going to be an interesting subject because when i started this I have no ideas as to which ones I am going to pick.  Being a movie addict this could be a very difficult selection but here it goes.....( in no specific order)

"Grease" this is one of our family's all time favorites the combination of music and comedy is a delight for all.

"Mama Mia" this was a very funny interesting film that I immediately fell in love and even my husband enjoys it and watches it over and over.  Though the daughter did not care for it....probably because she didn't grow up during the Abba generation...

Can't believe what some people put on their list af all tiime greats.  Sure the saying goes "Different Strokes for Different Folks" but some people picked some real doosies in their lists.  Just some of the idiotic 15 bests are Underdog, Talladega NIghts, Batman Begins (maybe The Dark Night b/c Heath's Joker), & The Wedding Singer (if Sandler it has to be the one below).

I'll do this by genre but there maybe more than 15 by the end.

Prison Movies

The Shawshank Redemption
The Great Escape (POW's)

Comedies

American Pie
Happy Gilmore
48 Hours
Beverly Hills Cop
Police Academy (first few)
Revenge of the Nerds...

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...
