Pride and Prejudice- its a long movie but I watch it constantly. Plus I love Colin Firth. ( Lake scene gets me drooling.)

Me without you - Nat and Holly pull me in every time. there love story is fantastic. And the relationship between Maria and Holly makes me glad that I dont have a friend like that.

Anne of green gables - (Carrots). I usaully try to watch this movie every other month. Gilbert and Anne's constant banter is the best.

National Lampoon's christmas vaction - wethier its christmas or not this movie place on in my house. Theres so many funny things about this movie.
 
English Patient for Ralph Fiennes. His intense gaze.
Hamlet for Mel Gibson :D .He surprised me with his acting ; I thought he could never be able to do Shakespeare .
 
The Parent Trap - Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid were phenomenal in this film. Touching, hilarious and genuinely good fun. I love it.
 
Well there are so many movies, but top of list is,
1. Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2 - Johnny Depp is all I have to say, hands down :D
2. Casino Royale - I love watching James Bond movies and this one is the best out of all and Daniel Craig is so good to look at.
3. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - I always enjoyed this movie since I was young, Luke Perry and Kristy Swanson were so fun to watch in it.
4. 8 Seconds - Luke Perry and cowboys
5. Tombstone - best western movie ever made, and it has a brillant cast.
 
The Pelican Brief...I can never get tired of seeing that movie no matter how many times I've seen it already. Just great acting by Denzel and Julia and good storyline as well.

The Fast and the Furious, good movie w/ some of my favorite actors: Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez. Plus hot cars and have I mentioned Vin Diesel?

Cruel Intentions because its so twisted its wonderful. SMG and Ryan Phillipe have hot chemistry and I found myself prefering Sebastian/Kathryn over Sebastian/Annette. Besides Kathryn is so extremely cruel which I love.

Also Donnie Darko because each time you watch it you pick up on something new. The acting is wonderful (especially Jake's) and the movie is just so weird, you have to love it.

Back to the Future -it's a classic!! how can you NOT love it?
Father of the Bride -a great family flick
Pirates of the Caribbean -hot guys, swashbuckling adventure, humorous Jack Sparrow, the list goes on & on....
 
There are several movies that I do watch over and over. I just leave them in my vcr or dvd player and when I get bored I turn them on.

Clue: I could watch this a million times (I probably already have). I know every word.

Remember the Titans: I never get tired of it. It's just a great feel good movie.

Legally Blonde: That seems to be a favorite here.
biggrin.gif
It never gets old. Reese rocks!

Mallrats: Well, any Kevin Smith movie really. But Mallrats is my favorite and the one I find myself watching the most. Mainly because Jason Lee is my favorite actor and Brodie Bruce is by far the best role that he's ever had. The commentary on the DVD is priceless as well, so I know with Mallrats I can't go wrong.

Almost Famous: Okay, the Jason Lee factor comes into play here too. Jason as the lead singer of a 70s rock band? :drool: But even without Jason this movie would be incredible. He's just the icing on the cake.

Pulp Fiction: Quentin's masterpiece. As much as I love Reservoir Dogs and the Kill Bill movies, this is the one that I can't stop watching. It's gritty, funny, and fast-paced. It changed the way people made movies. I'll never get tired of this movie.

You Can Count on Me: Probably the best movie ever made about familial relationships. Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo are brilliant. If you haven't seen this movie yet, go get it. You won't regret it.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Wow. How do you describe this movie? It's beautiful, it's incredibly unique, it has Kate Winslet being quirky and lovely and Mark Ruffalo dancing in his undies. Need I say more?

Heathers: Mean Girls sucked. If you're looking for a movie about high school cliques, get Heathers. It's genius.

Moulin Rouge: The music, the costumes, Ewan McGregor...

Office Space: Michael Bolton is the greatest.

The Wedding Singer: If it's a romantic comedy and it stars Drew Barrymore, I'll be the first in line to see it, but this one is by far my favorite. Drew & Adam have amazing chemistry and the 80s were the greatest. I own the DVD, but when this movie is on TBS I still can't change the channel.

This is Spinal Tap: Love Christopher Guest. Love him!

Ed Wood: This movie is Johnny Depp at his best. And I think Bill Murray gave an incredibly funny performance in this movie.

There are more, but I'll stop now. I think you get the picture. :lol:
 
Harry Potter - my favorite book and movie of all time!;)

Pirates of the Caribbean - love Johnnny Depp and the sea adventures!

The Matrix Trilogy
The idea for the movie is just mind-blowing, the actors are fantastic (especially Keanu
love.gif
)and it just a combination of different genres!
biggrin.gif


The LOTR Trilogy (well, I'm sure RotK won't disappoint me and I'll watch it as many time that I've watched Fotr & TTT, maybe even more
wink.gif
)

I think no explanations are necessary - the movies are just perfect!
biggrin.gif
 
The movie I've seen the most would without a doubt be The Associate. I love it; it's the perfect feminism movie. I've been quoting that damn movie word-for-word since it came out in 1996.
lol.gif
Come to think of it, I can watch ANY Whoopi Goldberg movie an assload of times without getting tired of it. That woman is one of the most realistic-yet-highly-entertaining actresses I have ever watched.

There's The 10th Kingdom, which I bet I've spent almost a fourth of my existence watching due to its being nearly 8 hours long (it was originally a miniseries aired on NBC in five parts; 10 hours with commercials), but it's well worth it. One of the most gorgeous and adorable and sometimes even scary (Dianne Wiest proves her wide range by playing the convincingly evil villain) works of fantasy I've ever seen.
sigh.gif


Romy and Michele's High School Reunion I watch a lot simply because a lot of it takes place in the 80s and Mira Sorvino and Janeane Garofalo, well...I'm gonna marry them. BOTH of them.
smirk.gif
(though I must say I detest Lisa Kudrow so it's a good thing there are other ladies in this film to distract me from her.

)

Also, Bandits. I mean come on, Billy Bob may be a completely stupid foolish f*ckass for leaving the sexiest woman in existence (that's Angelina Jolie for those who don't live on this planet), but his movies are still pretty damn good!!! Of course the biggest reason for my watching this movie so much involves a charming, redheaded Cate Blanchett.

Dark Victory - I love this movie because the ending is depressing (so I appreciate realism, shoot me), and it was Bette Davis at her most beautiful and compelling.

How? :lol:

As much as I love the movie, it is one depressing movie. I have it on DVD but don't watch it much because it's so dark (though nowhere near the darkness/depressing nature of Schindler's List and Requiem for a Dream).
 
Well, there's no doubt that the movie I've seen the most is Men in Black. I haven't watched it in a long time, but when it first came out I bought it and watched it constantly for over a year. I could recite that movie backwards in my sleep. It has everything - action, sci-fi/fantasy, and humor. It's just an entertaining movie.

Lord of the Rings trilogy - These are my absolute favorite movies, can't wait for ROTK to be released on DVD. I adore the characters, the story, the actors, and the visual scope. PJ is a freakin genius!
smile.gif


Pirates of the Caribbean - Adventure on the high seas. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom as pirates. A heroine who is a lot more than just some damsel-in-distress. What's not to like?

Star Wars - Even back in my pre-LOTR days, this was one sci-fi/fantasy story I always loved. Han & Leia, Luke, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, and now Anakin & Padme. I can't wait for the DVD of the original trilogy, or the release of Ep III.

A Walk To Remember - I cried like the first 10 times I saw it and I still get choked up. It's a beautiful love story. I

Mandy Moore's Jamie and Shane West's Landon.

There are probably more, but I'll stop for now!
lol.gif
 
I saw Transformers in the theatres but when it finally went to cable, I found myself watching it every time it aired!!

Same thing happened with Waitress and Hairspray. I love the chemistry between Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion. I also love watching John Travolta singing and dancing as Edna Turnblad!! :blush: His mannerisms as a "woman" are hilarious!!! :lol:
 
SpiderMan 1 & 2-B/C Hello Romance,Action,Adventure What else more could i ask for!!;)
