Name a movie that you love, cannot see often enough, and afraid

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

others won't think you're cool if they knew what it was.

(Bridget Jones' Diary) hiding now........

[Maddy McCall]

1. Terms of Endearment

[StClone]

4. Or as we call it in my family

"Terms of Entearment"

[rockedthevoteinMA]

2. What Dreams May Come

sad sad movie... but so good.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. Did you ever read the book? It was excellent.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

6. No I didn't know it was a book... I'll add that one to the list!

I love Robin Williams,the woman who plays his wife, and Cuba Gooding Jr.... and all the colors - well everything about it rocks.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. It was a visually beautiful movie, but after reading the book first it

fell flat for me, the book was that good. It's a very fast read. :)

[nuxvomica]

7. A beautiful and underappreciated movie

Thanks for reminding me. I'm all choked up just thinking about it.

[AwakeAtLast]

3. That Thing You Do!

There, I said it! :P

[catbert836]

20. Filmed in my hometown

It was a terrible movie though... no offense.

[ProfessorGAC]

74. It Is Not

It's actually a well-done feelgood movie, and i think it might have particularly strong connections for musicians.

But, it's NOT a terrible movie. You may not have liked it as much as the other poster or i, but that's a matter of taste, not quality. There's a difference, right?
The Professor

[NewJeffCT]

9. it used to be Month Python & the Holy Grail

I think I saw that 40-50 times on VHS throughout the 80s & early 90s.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. That is a movie I'm never afraid to mention! It's my number one favorite

comedy of all times! :)

[Tony_Illinois]

10. Hairspray

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. That was such a funny movie! :)

[jonnyblitz]

36. anything with Divine the drag queen I'll watch over and over...

except for that one scene in Pink Flamingos (:wow:)

[NewJeffCT]

13. for now, I'd say any cheesy kung fu type picture

even those crappy ones starring Van Damme or Seagal, though if I'm watching crap, I'd prefer to see some new crap, like something with subtitles.

[ok_cpu]

14. Get Shorty n/t

[fishwax]

34. Get Shorty was great!

But movies based on Elmore Leonard novels usually are, imo.

[Ekirh]

15. Shaolin Soccer.

And I apologize if I didn't spell that correctly.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

16. City of Angels

haha I cry EVERYTIME...

I'm embarassed! :D

[rockedthevoteinMA]

18. I Loved that movie!

I cry too.

[Phentex]

17. The Muppet movie....

I'm not cool. I don't care if others think I'm not cool!

[rockedthevoteinMA]

19. Muppet movie rocks - my whole family loves it! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. lol! That's in my top ten favorite movies! :)

[fudge stripe cookays]

79. "Hello mah lil green friend!

Ah'm Doc Hoppah! Of Doc Hoppah's Fraynch Frahd Frawg Legs!"

Luv luv luv The Muppet Movie.

[Coventina]

22. Pride & Prejudice miniseries

with Colin Firth! :9

I've probably watched it....well, I watch it all the time...I couldn't begin to estimate how many times.

I think I may need help.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. Next to Bridget Jones (with Colin Firth!) I have watched it about

hmmmmmmmmm, too embarassed to say how many times! Needless to say I have the DVD and it is put to excellent use! laughing here!

(I will also not say how many times I've read the novel!) :x

[Flaxbee]

46. another serial A&E P&P watcher here, checking in for help....

The series really was wonderful, and Colin Firth is excellent in it.

I'll watch almost anything with Colin Firth in it! I even like "Love, Actually" b/c he's in it (and, well, the movie is cute).

And, I love Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility. I'll watch that one over and over and over and...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

55. lol! I rewatch Sense and Sensibility too!

Love Actually is a lovely movie, and maybe I've seen about 5 times so far, and yes, if Colin Firth is in anything, I watch it. I even accept him as the villain in Shakespeare In Love. Do you think I'm an enabler???? lol!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. Chaplin (the biography with Robert Downey Jr.)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. He should have won the Oscar for that performance. n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

25. Bridget Jones' Diary is a very good movie, why should you be

embarrassed about stuff you like?

On the other hand I heard the sequel is crap.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

27. I loved the movie, and yes it Is Very Good! The problem is that I cannot

even count the amount of times I've watched it now! It's almost like a sickness! The odd thing is, that when I've told friends about it, and they get the DVD, they begin to suffer from the same addiction. :)

[loudestchick]

28. Running Scared. Billy Crystal, Gregory Hines and (sigh) Jimmy Smits.

[Bok_Tukalo]

29. "To Sir, With Love"

Terribly sentimental but the primary character is the best rendention of what a man should be I have ever seen in a movie.

[nuxvomica]

30. Jumanji

I know it's a dumb movie but I love watching the animals stampede through the town. There's also some childish appeal to a board game in which you absolutely have to abide by the rules.

[achtung_circus]

31. The Quiet Man,

It's John Wayne, it's syrupy, it's a cliched protrayal of Ireland and the Irish, it should be awful..... but I love it.

It's John Ford
It's Maureen O'Hara (drool)
and there's one line I should detest
"here's a stick, Sorrr, to be bating the luvely lady."
as if Maureen would stand still for such a thing.

I want to know what the final line of the movie is. It's not audible. The legend is that Director John Ford told Maureen O'Hara to whisper this into John Wayne's ear, just before they skip off to the cottage during the final credits. From the look on Wayne's face it wasn't something he expected to hear.

[senegal1]

51. Thats my husband's favorite too.

[Rowdyboy]

32. Stripes

Its a silly little piece of fluff but I love it. Probably seen all or part of it 30 times. Ditto for "The Money Pit"

[Az]

33. 1776

I get all weepy from this movie. My friends and family shun me whenever I pull it out though.

[mcscajun]

35. You Are Not Alone

I absolutely go nuts over this movie; perhaps because I saw the musical on Broadway in the 70s :)

Or perhaps just because it's so Very Well Done.

I don't get weepy...but parts of it DO give me chills.

No need to disavow favoring it, IMO. :)

[Left Is Write]

37. Dumb & Dumber, Dazed & Confused, Twister

There. Go ahead and flame.

[Hans Delbrook]

38. Lilo and Stich

I love Stich. He reminds me of my dog Dante - he's broken but still good. :D

[Orsino]

39. The Beeb's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE...

...or the Paltrow EMMA. Both are romantic tear-jerkers, and I'm a sucker.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

72. lol! You're in excellent company! :)

[zann725]

40. "Sleepless in Seattle"...AND "Kate and Leopold"

I'm a sap for Meg Ryan romantic comedies.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

57. You've Got Mail. I always cry at the end of Sleepless and that.. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

70. Also "French Kiss" and "When Harry Met Sally.

I'm a sap for Sandra Bullock romantic comedies, "Practical Magic" and "While You were Sleeping".

[RevolutionaryActs]

41. All Disney movies, Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, and

Chasing Liberty..... *braces for the worst*

[charlyvi]

42. Tremors

with Kevin Bacon; it takes place in a small town out west--giant worms are attacking the townspeople. It's a true junk classic, and funny as hell. I watch it each time it's on and love it every time.

[smbolisnch]

43. Sixteen Candles. I bought the DVD the day it was rereleased :)

I LOVE that movie :P

[senseandsensibility]

44. Pillow Talk

Doris Day, Rock Hudson, corny as hell. Made before I was born, but FUNNY!!

[Minimus]

45. A Soldier's Daughter Never Crys

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. It's true - Rabrrrrrr loves The Sound of Music. I cry when Maria returns.

I cry every damn time when the kids are singing My Favorite Things and Maria shows up and starts singing along and everyone is all excited and way WOO HOO YEE HAH! that's she back and shit. I also cry


Don't make fun of me, or I will hunt you down and neuter you, AND all your children.

[Cadence]

48. Meet the Parents.

I have no idea why I can watch this movie a thousand times in a row.

[RevolutionaryActs]

49. Are you some kind of pot head, Focker?

:silly:

[EstimatedProphet]

50. Mars Attacks!

I just think that the movie is hilarious-especially "bowling on Easter Island"

[peekaloo]

60. Amen. Slim Whitman saves mankind!

[benny05]

62. Dave and the American President n/t

[kodi]

52. bye bye birdie

love it, was in the play in high school.

but a 20 year old ann-margret... oh my god.

it was such an "american" film, high school girls and phone gossip, rock n' roll, dancing, lodge meetings, "momism," parents getting "no respect" and those pesky rooskies.

and did i mention a 20 year old ann-margret?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

76. I will occassionally catch myself singing songs from it! My kids don't

have a clue. What's the matter with kids, today? ;)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

81. Another one from me. My Fair Lady

I have to get the DVD. Everytime I see that it's on tv I have to watch it. I love to sing along with it too. I must be so annoying! :)

[senegal1]

53. To Kill A Mockingbird and Its a Wonderful Life

and something more modern Blade Runner

[toddzilla]

54. 12 monkeys

i have a thing for madeliene stowe

[Bzzzz]

56. Pushing Tin and...

In and Out.

[nutsnberries]

78. like the cusacks?

;)

[nutsnberries]

80. Austin Powers movies -

yeah baby, yeah!

:evilgrin:

[tjwmason]

58. I love the crappy disaster films

The sort where some international terrorists (with dodgy east-European accents) have a nuclear bomb on a train &c.&c.&c.

They're all totally formulaic, and one can almost count down the number of times that the rescue attempt fails before finally succeeding. Always an alpha-male forced to work with a woman, he hates the idea at first, but then their in each others' arms at the end - alternatively alpha-male is divorced and bad relationship with his ex and her new partner.

[TyeDye75]

59. Daddy Day Care

It just makes me smile..

I dont care what critics say.. I like Eddie Murphy.

[B Calm]

61. Earthworm Tractors / 1936 Joe E. Brown

[11 Bravo]

63. "Cool Hand Luke"

There, I said it!

[kwassa]

65. "what we have heah is FAYUH to COMMUNICATE"

great film, makes me want to eat 100 eggs and, um, wash cars

[Aiptasia]

64. my group of friends call these films "Gymkata" films

our guilty pleasure trash films we'd be embarrassed to admit we like, but will watch religiously if they come on cable while flipping channels.

Mine is Gremlins (1984).

[dubyaD40web]

66. SlingBlade

[kwassa]

67. The Seven Samaurai

originally known in Japanese as "The Magnificent Seven"

The acting is a little over-the-top by modern standards

[Worst Username Ever]

68. O Brother Where Art Thou

[Richardo]

71. What's embarrassing about that?

I'm proud to say 'OBWAT' is one of my top 5 favorite films EVER. :D

[yellowdogintexas]

69. "Tremors" is one, I love that silly movie

also "Revenge of the Nerds" series... definitely

[cestpaspossible]
