[LiberalElite]

2. Simon's cat cartoons eom

[hifiguy]

20. Those are great.

The pure essence of cat-ness.

[LiberalElite]

21. Absolutely. nt

[Coventina]

3. "An American in Paris" always works for me.

That's the "classy" choice.

The MST3K version of "Mitchell!" is my goofy choice.

[trueblue2007]

4. Tootsie and The Ghostbusters movies to if for me.

And The men in black

[Glorfindel]

5. Any of the Indiana Jones movies

[Enrique]

6. Shining

[Ptah]

7. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

[mythology]

8. I have a few

In addition to It's a Wonderful Life, Blazing Saddles and The Princess Bride, I often turn to The Shawshank Redemption, Casablanca, Hackers and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

In terms of TV shows, Gilmore Girls, The Flash, Psych, Sherlock and The IT Crowd always help.

And yes, I have a very weird set of tastes.

[hibbing]

9. The definitive choice....Roadhouse

[mackerel]

12. It's my way or the highway

[Yavin4]

16. "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice"

Works for any mood.

[shenmue]

10. The Preacher's Wife

With Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston.

[kentauros]

11. Anything by Miyazaki

The Iron Giant
Robots
The Thief of Baghdad (1940 version)
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938 version)
Local Hero
Waking Ned Devine
The Hudsucker Proxy
The Italian Job (with Michael Caine, original version)
Galaxy Quest
Used Cars
Trading Places
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Spaceballs
Groundhog Day
J-Men Forever

"They've gone to plaid!"

[smirkymonkey]

18. I love Waking Ned Devine!

It's one of my personal cult favorites! A must see!

[kentauros]

23. I need to pull out my copy and watch it again.

It's so quirky! And the scene of the little old guy riding the motorcycle nude

[hifiguy]

19. Especially "My Neighbor Totoro,"

in which nothing much happens, you get to see a Catbus, and mysteriously are walking two feet off the ground from the sheer sweet wonder of it all.

Gads, I LOVE Miyazaki!!

And I'd add "Burn After Reading," a movie "about a bunch of VERY stupid people" as co-star George Clooney described it.

[kentauros]

22. I think "My Neighbor Totoro" is still my favorite of all Miyazaki I've seen.

He's a master at bringing forth that pure yet compelling wonder of fantasy to all audiences. You don't have to be young in years to love his realities

I still haven't seen "Burn After Reading" so I think I'll get on Netflix and add it now. I like goofy comedies, and I like Clooney. Which is why I'm looking forward to "Hail, Caesar!" though I don't know how goofy it'll be, just funny

[hifiguy]

29. Everybody, without exception, becomes 10 again

watching Miyazaki's magical worlds. You BELIEVE. He creates worlds of genuine wonder the Mouse Machine could never begin to imagine. Miyazaki is to Dizney what Rembrandt is to a kid with crayons.

[kentauros]

30. Well, to be fair,

Disney in the past has created worlds that do draw you into fantastic lands and scenes. Not so much with their stuff today, thanks in part to their reliance on 3D animation. And I'm glad Brad Bird got his 'education' in animation from Disney's studios. We might never have had the likes of The Iron Giant, and yes, the 3D "The Incredibles"

The Japanese do use 3D in some of their 'flat' anime, whether overtly or in the modeling of things, such as complex machines. Metropolis does that and I thought it meshed very well with the hand-drawn animation.

[mackerel]

13. Jacque Tati film for sure

Blazing Saddles
Local Hero
Animal House
Harry Potter - Especially the first 4
Gosford Park
Pride and Prejudice - Colin Firth version
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Commitments

[Mendocino]

25. Another Local Hero Fan

I consider it to one of finest films ever made.

"I'll make a good Gordon...Gordon"

[LynneSin]

14. Velvet Goldmine

My favorite movie to watch when I'm in a bad mood.

[madamesilverspurs]

15. Tom Jones

-- especially the "dinner" scene...

[BlueJazz]

17. Aliens

Hey, you'll be happy you're not on the ship with them.

[Number9Dream]

24. A mixed bag - comedy, action, drama

"The Bank Dick" / "You Can't Cheat An Honest Man" - W.C. Fields
"Annie Hall" / "Play It Again Sam" / "Take the Money and Run" - Woody Allen
"Raiders of the Lost Ark"
"A Christmas Story" (any time of year)
"Inherit the Wind" (1960)
"The Mark of Zorro" (Tyrone Power)
"Casablanca"
