Since everyone who visits here is apparently in the Witness Protection Program and therefore unwilling to fork over any personal information (see post below), I decided to make it a little easier. This has more to do with taste than attributes.
Name four movies that you love so much that you’ve seen them a million times. These are movies that you enjoy no matter how many times you’ve seen them. No personal information required, so your cover is safe!
I’m a movie girl so it’s hard to narrow it down to four, but the first ones that come to mind are (in no particular order):
1. Jaws (the original, the rest sucked)
2. Last of the Mohicans (long hair, long rifles, who could ask for anything more?)
3. First Knight (Best movie kiss ever! Plus you have Gere, Connery, sword fights. I loves me some swashbuckling!)
4. It’s a Wonderful Life (Holiday tradition, makes me cry every time)
There are many more, but that’s the short list.
And if you don't play along, there will be consequences...

1. THE APARTMENT.
2. PARENTHOOD.
"Do you know why I'm having sex with machinery? It's because your father left to have a party and I stayed to raise two kids! And I have no life!"
3. Wizard of Oz
4. Star Wars
Here via Michele's.
Let's see...
1. Moulin Rouge
2. Pride and Prejudice (Almost any version!)
3. 10 Things I Hate About You
4. Monty Python's Life of Brian and The Holy Grail
Ok, so technically it's 5 (or more if you count the different versions of Pride and Prejudice). I couldn't narrow it down. Just put me down as a romantic who likes a bit of a laugh.
1. The Blues Brothers (great music and a wonderful way to junk all those sorry 70s cars)
2. Sullivan's Travels (1940 movie with Veronica Lake & Joel McCrae)
3. A River Runs through it (great scenery and Redford reads straight from some of the best lit every written)
4. Raising Arizona (one of the funniest movies ever)
thanks for stopping by my site.
Lovelovelove Holy Grail! Still quote it all the time.
Nicholas Cage, love everything he does! And Robert Redford does make some of the smartest movies ever.
Wow. Some good ones here already. I love Preston Sturges films. And "The Apartment". And Monty Python too.
So here are mine:
1. "The Ref" with Denis Leary and Kevin Spacey. Great great holiday movie. Loved the bit with the chocolate nativity scene.
2) "The Red Violin" with Samuel Jackson
3) "The Emperor and The Assassin"
4) "The Coca Cola Kid"
Sleepless in Seatle
Legally Blond
Chicago
Funny Girl
Mannequin
"A List"
1. Requiem For A Heavyweight
2. On The Waterfront
3. It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World
4. The Godfather
"B List"
1. Shane
2. The Graduate
3. A "Head" of His Time (bet no one remembers this one.....no cheating)..(This means you Wiko-Argo-Pedia)
4. Easy Rider
all right, all right, I'm writing already
Loved The Ref, Alex. That was my intro to Dennis Leary, loved him ever since. "Rescue Me" is one of my fav shows.
Funny Girl/Funny Lady! Love all the old Barbra Streisand comedies. What's Up Doc was another good one.
Shooter, you've reminded me of some of the great oldies. Love young Brando movies, I think Waterfront and Streetcar Named Desire are my favorites. The Graduate, one of the best all time films, for so many reasons.
Easy Rider/Five Easy Pieces are classics. Love the restaurant scene with Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces.
And I don’t even know if Wiki-wiki knows what “A Head of His Time” is. I Googled it and got nothing. I also IMBd’d it and still got nothing. Is this one of your homemade videos??? lol
Sage, it must be nice to have that honor.
Well maybe Shooter meant just Head? I do remember that movie by the Monkees and it was ahead of it's time, no one understood it when it came out and harldy anyone bothered to see it.
I was a big fan and had all their albums. I watched the whole TV show when it 1st aired, but the movie was too surreal for most though.
I personally don't see how that is "cheating" to use available resources to find out stuff you don't know. That is after all what the internet was originally designed for to make sure research was able to be shared even in emergencies. (But not what made it so popular, you can thank porn fot that)
I am very surprised that The Princess Bride wasn't on either of your lists, am I the last hopeless romantic left?
Julia Ormand was also very good in First Knight, one of her best roles besides Young Catherine.
1. The Matrix series I'm count it as 1 movie since it was essentially 3 parts.
2 Back to the Future, as 1 for the same reason.
3. Moulin Rouge, just about as romantic as Princess Bride but also as tragic as Romeo & Juliet
4. Shakespeare in Love a new spin on Romeo & Juliet with all the backstory on the experiences he had to write it. Maybe that should include George Lucas in Love since it was a perfect parody.
5. Spaceballs, gotta
love Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet
I'll add my "honourable mentions" as i think of them.
I really liked The Efficiency Expert with Anthony Hopkins.
And as sappy and almost embarrassing as it sounds, "Pretty Woman". I think it's the only role I liked Julia Roberts in, and it's what I consider to be the last believable role for Jason Alexander (of Seinfeld). But I liked the message of the movie about the rich guy learning there's something to life besides buying up and selling off companies.
And, I also loved The Replacements with Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, and Jack Warden.
This looked like it'd be a lot of fun to make.
You know, Alex, I boycotted Pretty Woman until just a few years ago. Being a feminatzi in my younger days, and the mother of a girl, I thought maybe it wasn’t a good idea to glamorize prostitution and the whole Cinderella idea of a man swooping down and rescuing you from yourself. I just hated the whole concept of the movie. Too Eliza Doolittle for me.
I finally broke down and watched it. Yes it was cute and I enjoyed it. Yes I licked the screen when Richard Gere wore the tux. Still, I wish she’d worked at Wal-mart instead of on the corner of Bimbo and Ho.
See. I told you it was embarrassing admitting to liking "Pretty Woman".
God. Glad I didn't mention I liked "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
Oooops! ;) hehehe
It IS embarrassing, so I cleverly pretended that I only liked Gere in a tux!
And I’ll admit it (since you did first), I used to like Buffy, the TV show, never saw the movie. Seriously, I never saw it. Really. I didn’t.
"...so I cleverly pretended that I only liked Gere in a tux!"
See. Now we also know you're very good at multiple choice too when the selections include Gere, Alexander, and Elizondo. ;) hehehe
Ok. Another "honourable mention" is "Waking the Dead" with Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly.
I will now make a huge confession. I loved Frankenfish! Yes it was a stupid movie. Yes it was a stupid premise. But it was totally fun and it had pretty good special effects. Where else are you going to see a giant piranha leap into the blades of a swamp boat??? It was totally cool!
Not for the squeamish, but definitely a good time.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384833/
My favorites are The Hunt for Red October, Casablanca, The Last Picture Show, The Wizard of Oz, A Man for All Seasons, South Pacific.
I'll add Heaven Can Wait with Warren Beatty and Julie Christy and Buck Henry and Jack Warden.
One of my faves.
