Favorite Movie

[Pinky]

What is your FAVORITE movie of all time???? (it doesn't have to be a Disney movie....)

[LisaG]

Depending on what mood I'm in:

White Christmas
Halloween
Kids in the Hall; Brain Candy
Jaws

[Francine]

Mary Poppins is my most favorite movie. Next after that would be The Sound of Music. Both movies do the job of lifting my spirits.

Red Dawn, with Patrick Swayze, Powers Hubba Hubba Booth, Jennifer Grey, C. Thomas Howell and a whole buncha dead commies. :shock:

The Sound of Music

[Lisakma]

I just love Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn!

Tough call, Pinky.

If I have to pick only one, it's gotta be "Casablanca." It's so hokey and romantic! Bogey and Ingrid at their best, with a wild script full of snappy one-liners, and all kinds of quirky, intriguing supporting characters. The music's great, too, as are the costumes, the sets, and the gorgeous cinematography (sp?).

"Fargo" is a darn close second; "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Quiz Show" are right up there, too. For pure popcorn munching fun, it would be "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

I knew I couldn't list just one! :roll:

Peter Pan. They just don't get much better than this!

[Esmerelda]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is my all-time favorite. That is as close to a romantic movie I can stand. Believe it or not, I've never even seen Gone With the Wind or Sound of Music!

[AliciaG]

Esmerelda, we've either got to get you out more often, or send you some video tapes. :lol:

If I had to pick just one, I guess I'd say The Color Purple. I never tire of watching it. There are so many favorites in different categories though.

[Stinkerbelle]

Just last year My Big Fat Greek Wedding edged out longtime favorite Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump knocked out even longer time favorite Big.

Other top contenders are: Goodfellas, Sixteen Candles, Office Space, My Fair Lady, St. Elmo's Fire, American History X and finally Rainman
