I just read that the Pope's 4 favorite movies are
It's a Wonderful Life
Sound of Music
Ordinary People
Life is Beautiful
which was a fun thing to know. It made me think of my own favorite movies, and so far I've come up with
It's a Wonderful Life
Avalon
Baby Boom
The Best Years of Our Lives
Maybe if folks share their favorite movies it will give us all something new to watch. . .
Recent ones that come to mind:
Atonement
Manchester by the sea
Brokeback Mountain
These were once on my favorite list from years ago:
Amadeus,
The Piano with Holly Hunter
Lars and the Real Girl
March of the Penquins
Secret of Roan Innish
The only ones I have seen are Brokeback Mountain and Amadeus, so this is great!
The Shining
The Waking of Ned Divine
A Christmas Story
Jules
It's a Mad, Mad....World (not now, the classic comedy)
"I spent the summer traveling: I got half-way across my backyard." Louis Aggasiz
The Shining was definitely the scariest movie I ever saw in the theatre.
Let's see. Off the top of my head:
Shirley Valentine
Under The Tuscan Sun
The Replacements
and for pure fun, any of the Tremors movies. LOL
To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer." Mahatma Gandhi
Be nice whenever possible. It's always possible. HH Dalai Lama

Probably will not do the Tremors but the others are all new to me, thank you!
I don't know if they are truly my favorites out of all the movies I've seen, but these are some that come to mind:
Dramas:
Places in the Heart
The Dollmaker
Schindler's List
Wizard of Oz
Comedies
Overboard (the original one with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell)
Trading Places

Thinking about my list caused me to go off and watch Lars and the real girl this morning on YouTube. I pay for YouTube. It got me all weepy. Phooey!!!
I know what you mean, it would be really hard to just pick that few.Originally Posted by catherine
