"Build this house with me." ~Life As A House~

Okay, taking a break from studying...These are three of my all time favorite movies. They are movies about realness. I think I may take a study break this weekend and watch one of them. You know those movies that just leave you wanting to be a better human being... I mean the ones where long after the movie is over you are still sitting there, on the couch, crying...I love movies..maybe I am an escapist..hope not..I am just intrigued by people and their emotions and their reactions to life. I have lots of other movies that I love:

Man In The Iron Mask...To Kill a Mockingbird....Gladiator....Band of Brothers...Hanging Up....The Green Mile....Places In the Heart....Monty Python and the Holy Grail...What Lies Beneath...The Mission...O Brother Where Art Thou.....Forrest Gump...Garden State..

Just a few...I am sure when you start naming your favorites, I will remember mine!

Lauren... is Funny Man a movie or are you speaking of Clint?

Clint..Christmans Vacation ..why does that not surprise me..:)

Jeans..there you go, another bond..

Chad..how could I have missed Three Amigos...and Napoleon Dynamite? I love the three amigos..Every once in awhile when I get in a big mess I say, "What am I doing in Mexico?" usually noone gets it..only amigo fans would..

Monday night is movie night the boys come over and we eat and watch a movie. Last week it was: The Great Escape. The Week before it was: About A Boy.

Another great Kevin Klien movie is "Grand Canyon"

IMHO: In My Humble Opinion (thaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you Google!)

as far as my favorites go, I am a big fan of all things submarine (u-571, das boot, all submarines all the time, I know it's weird), Erin Brockovich, You've Got Mail, The Long Long Trailer (YOU MUST RENT THIS!) and uh...others....

Two of my favorites: The Secret Garden and Crash. I also love The Kid and Lord of the Rings. Funny movies are my favorite. I laughed my heiney off at Four Weddings and a Funeral and watched it through immediately after I saw it the first time (rental). I wonder if I'd think it was that funny today. I'm a very eclectic movie person.

Blondie..I saw Das Boot years ago..it was my first subtitled movie and I loved it..

Candy...please, Hugh Grant cracks me up!

By Deb, at 8:43 AM

deb...i started Amelie..but just didn't get it..maybe I was just in the wrong mood..alot of my friends love it.

FW..LD was amazing in gilbert grape..have you seen him Marvin's Room?

By Beverly, at 11:05 AM

Amelie is definitely one movie where you have to be in the mood for it. I think I have seen every single French movie at my local video store :)
