fave movies

Introduction

don't laugh at my tastes. i consider my favorite movies to be ones i can watch over and over again. and movies that i can watch repeatedly tend to be less on the smart side and more on the light, fun side.

1
 

dirty dancing

www.dirtydancing.com/site.php

this has been my favorite movie for many many years. forgive me, but i have to say it: how can you resist patrick and his infamous quote, "nobody puts baby in a corner"?

shag

www.amazon.com/Shag-Phoebe-Cates/dp/0792837746

most of those who have actually seen this movie love it just as much as i do. set in the '60s (as is dirty dancing...coincidence?), it's about four girlfriends getting down and dirty in myrtle beach. definitely a chick flick, but a good one.

sleepless in seattle

www.amazon.com/Sleepless-Seattle-10th-Anniversary…

chick flick again...seeing a pattern? it's just a tad unbelievable, but who cares? besides, i don't think tom hanks has actually made a bad movie. dumb ones, maybe, but not bad.

the devil wears prada

www.foxstore.com/detail?item=2655

yes, this is on my book list too. it's a fashion thing. no matter how many times i watch it, i never get sick of all the clothes. and meryl streep is just hands down brilliant in everything she does.

father of the bride

www.amazon.com/Father-Bride-Steve-Martin/dp/63053…

the first time i saw this movie, i sat in the very front row of the theatre with my best friend jessica. i was 10 years old. it has been one of my favorite movies ever since, and every single time it comes on tv, i call her or she calls me. every time.

charade

www.amazon.com/Cary-Grant-Audrey-Hepburn-Charade/…

audrey hepburn. cary grant. there is nothing better. she has amazing clothes, as well.

breakfast as tiffany's

www.amazon.com/Breakfast-Tiffanys-Special-Anivers…

another audrey. (there will be more, don't worry). every girl must see this movie. it's as important as owning your own little black dress.

sabrina

www.amazon.com/Sabrina-Harrison-Ford/dp/B00005S6K

both the old (with audrey) and new (with harrison) versions. it's sweet, funny, and romantic. a cinderella story with a twist (albeit a predictable one, but it's still good).

to catch a thief

www.amazon.com/Catch-Thief-Alfred-Hitchcock/dp/B0…

my favorite alfred hitchcock film. cary grant. grace kelly. set in the south of france. beautiful locations. beautiful jewelry. beautiful people.

gone with the wind

www.amazon.com/Gone-Wind-Margaret-Mitchell/dp/044…

also on my book list. at my family's lake house we have about three movies to choose from. this is one of them and i watch it at least once a summer, much to the rest of my family's (especially my two brothers') dismay. it's grand and epic. and so wonderful.

OMG, I wish you lived close and could be my movie buddy. If I made a favorite list, and I don't think I have, most of these would be on it. I would add American President and Roman Holiday.

Doesn't look like a funny list to me! Have you seen Sense and Sensibility?
