Now and Then is one of my all time favorites. It's 1996ish? But it takes place in the 60's (the 4 main characters are 11ish) and then flash-forward to present day where they are all adults. Some big connections for me in this movie, and some great quotes.

I can also watch the teeny-bopper flick 10 Things I Hate About You over and over again. Another one that has some serious quote-age for me

Ooh LG! I forgot about Fried Green Tomatoes and The Parent Trap (both old-Hayley Mills and new-Lindsay Loahn (gasp!)) Great great ones!

Adding to my list....
Never Been Kissed (story of my life)
40 Year Old Virgin (still have a ways to go before 40, but...)

An Affair to Remember (anything with Deborah Kerr)
All this and Heaven Too (anything with bette Davis)
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
The Mission
The Nun's Story
Chariots of Fire
The Color Purple
Fried Green Tomatoes
Philadlphia
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest

oh, heaps more!!!

Hrm...random ones coming up here that I have seen a million times.

Clue
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou
Pride and Prejudice, BBC
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (because it's based out of 1980s San Francisco, awesome) or Star Trek: First Contact
French Kiss (guilty pleasure for me and my 2nd older sister)
While You Were Sleeping (another guilty pleasure, sister movie)
The Fifth Element
Labyrinth
Rocky Horror Picture Show (although, this is more just a me and H thing...not something I'd probably pop in the DVD if I were home alone, like the others are)

I'm also kind of a horror film nut, because as someone who has constant nightmares, I like to make sure they're as effed up as possible, but I don't think any of them would really make my "list." I must be missing like a million. I like a lot of your guys' selections too, but I don't own them, so I don't consider them favorites. Also, left a couple that had serious/triggering stuff off my list, just in case.

Yaku,
We could definitely do a film festival together. I LOVED Oh Brother Where Art Thou, thought it was hysterical and had an awesome soundtrack but know very few people who would agree. Pride and Prejudice, French Kiss, Fifth Element, Labyrinth and Rocky Horror are all on my list too. And you're a Josh Whedon fan! Now if you just didn't leave clear across the country...

Other movies for me

Moonstruck
Color Purple (noticed this is popular. Favorite quote "I may be black, I may be ugly, but dear God, I'm here.")
Armageddon (very guilty pleasure, it's a Bruce Willis thing)
Serenity
Heart and Souls
Persuasion
Emma
An Ideal Husband (Rupert Everet version)
The Importance of Being Ernest (Rupert Everet/Colin Firth)
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended version)
Dodgeball (guilty guilty pleasure)
A Room with a View
Secondhand Lions
Toy Story 3 (loved all three, but this one dissolved me into a puddle. of course, I was in the middle of saying goodbye to my T and sending my daughter off to college)
Casablanca (doesn't matter when I come in I cry at the end)
Love Affair to Remember
Bringing up Baby
The Philadelphia Story (does NOT get better than Hepburn, Grant and Stewart. All three were at the top of their game. And the dialog is to die for.)
A Christmas Story (You'll shoot your eye out!)
The Addams Family

OK enough goofing off! Sorry this is so long, I really love movies.

Did anyone ever see "Lost in Austen"? It's a modern version of Pride and Prejudice where someone in current time gets trapped in a time warp and ends up in the story of Pride and Prejudice which happens to be her favorite novel so she's familiar with all of the characters as well as what is SUPPOSED to happen in the plot. If you like Jane Austen, you might like it. I really liked it, but its one of those movies that Austen fans either seem to hate or love.

Speaking of time warp movies, I liked the Lake House, The Time Traveler's Wife, and the one with Meg Ryan and whatshisface. Not my all-time favorite movies, but I do seem to enjoy time travel movies.

Dumb and Dumber may actually be one of my favorites, but I'm sort of embarrassed to admit it, lol.

LG - Time Traveler's Wife, I liked the book (except the very end), but not the movie.
Kate and Leopold, also, yes also a guilty pleasure on occasion.

Funny how both of the Star Trek movies I mentioned involved time travel to the past. I just now realized that. I guess I'm hoping they'll come to the past and beam me the hell out of here!

AG - I liked Serenity, but I was so angry at not finding out the pasts of certain beloved characters (lose ends) before they exited that I am still a bit bitter.

I haven’t seen 99% of these movies… I guess a side effect of being the youngest on the forum

My two favorites are Garden State and I Heart Huckabees.

Oh, I loved GardenState. That's the one where his mom killed herself, right?

Hey, I found a thread I feel safe to post on today. Yeah! Thanks, STRM. Here's my list, in no particular order:


7 pounds
The Bucket List
A Beautiful Mind
The Sixth Sense
Dead Poets Society
Pride & Prejudice
My Best Friends Wedding
Steel Magnolias
Mr. Holland's Opus
National Lampoon's Vacation (to WallyWorld)
Finding Nemo
A Christmas Story
Home Alone (the first one)


Tonight I watched the 2nd Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie with my kids. It was pretty funny. But probably not in my top 20.

quote:

A Beautiful Mind
The Sixth Sense
Dead Poets Society

Own all three.

...which reminds me:

Pay It Forward (if I want to cry so hard I have a headache for a week).

I own the Lake House. But the movie I like about time warp with Sandra Bullock even better than that one is Premonition. The critics didn't like it, but I did.

I happen to know that T's receptionist's favorite all-time move is Psycho, according to her FB page. For some reason that sorta bothers me...

oh yeah, that was an interesting one too, but I definitely preferred the Lake House. I was let down by the ending of Premonition.

Yesterday my T2 told me I need to watch the movie, "Kinky Boots". She said this out of nowhere. Just randomly, in the middle of my session, you NEED to see the movie Kinky Boots. Its a requirement! Go rent it!

So I watched it last night and I see zero relevance to my therapy with her, aside from the fact that I like boots and I like drag queens, though I've never discussed either with her.

Hm. Well, a most of my favorites are horse movies. I'll limit those to a couple though.

Seabiscuit
Secretariat
Inception
The Prestige
Something the Lord Made
Good Will Hunting
Ordinary People
The Bourne Trilogy
Ocean's 11, 12, 13
The Terminal (love Tom Hanks)
Finding Nemo
Ghostbusters
Dancing with Wolves
The Replacements
The Sixth Sense
Blazing Saddles

I know there's more, but I think that covers some of them..

Ohh, and I also loved the movie and soundtrack for Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. Great movie.

I forgot about the Bourne trilogy!! Love it.

I really liked that movie a lot. It wasn't very well-received by the public but I thought it had a lot of depth and it was a very unique and original plot. i also loved the deeper meaning behind it, how despite being trapped, he most the most of situation and never gave up trying to free himself. He never lost hope.

edited to add:

ponyo - sweet animated story made a couple of years ago. now kind of sad bc it's japanese and there is a tsunami in the movie, and post recent awful tsumani in japan, it's a little sad. yet it's still super sweet, maybe more so. it's happy and no one gets hurt. not realistic. the main charcter has been compared to someone who is autistic and it's an interesting comparision. i like how sweet the bonds in the movie are.
