I really dislike movies, I'd much rather read a book, but here are my few favorites in no particular order...
And my favorite Disney movie is the Hunchback of Notre Dame "And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind - is, in the end, Hell" - C.S. Lewis [This message has been edited by Dusk Treader (edited 03-15-2001).] |

I see more movies than ANYONE I bet..at least two a month..sometimes two a week and on ‘movie marathons’ two or three a day!!! Shawshank Redemption – the oddest movie about hope I’ve ever seen..I own it and watch it often. Close Encounters of the Third Kind – own this one too. Love the idea that there COULD be nice spacemen out there. The Great Escape – Another story of hope. The Full Monty – sigh (don’t ask) The Commitments – the music, the music, the music. The Quiet Man – a film with John Wayne that showed his acting ability. Favorite Disney? – No way to pick one! |

Best movies: Bringing Out the Dead (god I love that movie, best ever) Apocalypse Now ("Charlie don't surf" Oh yea.) Shawshank Redemption (just saw it, great movie) The Fifth Element (great scifi that'll be a cult classic someday) 3000 Miles to Graceland and Payback (two great killin movies) Plan Nine from Outer Space (too funny to be the worst movie ever) Movies I'll never see: The Matrix (duude...that says it all) Titantic (as one friend puts it, "I can never picture Leonardo DiCaprio as being older than 12.") Movies I wish I'd never seen: Fight Club (god, that was a crappy movie) Mystery Men (can a comedy really put you to sleep that fast?) Best Disney Movie: The ones with the secret porn messages in them. *grins* Ryan "ah, little girls make shadows on the sidewalk shorter than the shadow of death in this town--" - Jack Kerouac [This message has been edited by Ryan (edited 03-16-2001).] |

Top 3, always and forever... My Fair Lady Sophie's Choice Wings of Desire And in no particular order (well, maybe): Monty Python and the Holy Grail Pulp Fiction The Abyss Run, Lola, Run Space Balls The Princess Bride Life is Beautiful The Secret of Nimh The Fifth Element American Beauty Swing Kids Clerks Goldeneye Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Movie ... more I can't think of now, but will kick myself for neglecting later. (I know, I know, that's more than ten, but I couldn't abandon one for another... and if I could explain how each is dear to my heart *sigh* you'd all understand) Disney: The Sword and the Stone ... won my heart long before B&B or other such marvels .. can't kick it, sorry. p.s. Ryan, do you mean Bringing Out the Dead? What movie are you taking about? [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Cor (edited 03-16-2001).] |

~Ok, I am the worst candidate for this question as I most always pass out during movies (even in the theatre) anyhow, this is so not all of them as it's quite early here and well, I'm not really awake yet. Here in no particular order are some flicks that I managed to stay awake for and enjoy. *Fight Club (ha)(yes) *American Beauty (yes me too) *American Psycho *Pulp Fiction *Breakfast Club *Point Break *Braveheart (after a gazillion attempts to get through it in one sitting. ouch). *Goodfellas (yep, me too) *Casino *Harriet The Spy *and Disney movie? Hm, Mary Poppins. Yeah! *Peace. |

Aw c'mon guys, I can't believe no one's mentioned my favorite yet: Stand by Me I've cried at movies before, but that was the only one that actually had me sobbing.... Anyway here are some other ones I enjoyed: The Thing Called Love It's a Wonderful Life The Crucible And my favorite Disney movie: Aladdin or Mary Poppins |

The Secret of Nimh! I haven't seen that movie in years but my grandma has and I have to go find it and watch it again... I remember it as being truly awesome... I've never quite forgotten it. Frequency is a good movie too, best new one I've seen in a while. Can I say I'm waiting eagerly for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy?

Abe, The Secret of Nimh ROCKS! I watched it recently and was thrilled to find my child eyes had NOT glazed over latent vomit-inducing properties in the film. I HATE it when that happens... does anybody remember The Last Unicorn? I was obsessed with that movie when I was little and happened upon it within the last year or so... almost ruptured my stomach gagging lol … I mean when I was five that bull was TERRIFYING LOL) *G* And I almost listed Lord of the Rings even though I haven’t even SEEN it yet… that’s how hyped I am. |

hey Dopes~ are you talking about "The Virgin Suicides" ?? because I've seen that movie and it was SOO weird. there seemed to be no plot...a little confusing. maybe I just missed something, but are you talking about the same movie? ¤Sometimes the hardest thing to get over, is something you never really had¤ |
