What is your all time favorite movie(s)?...The kind that no matter how many times you have seen it, you will watch it again and again?

The Red Violin starring Samuel Jackson..one of my favorites.

The Wizard of Oz — takes me back to my childhood, at least now that I am older I don't have to cover my eyes when they show the Wicked Witch and her flying monkeys LOL! I always thought that the movie was only black and white...it wasn't until I was around 11, that I discovered that the Yellow Brick Road was actually yellow in the movie! 

Good Will Hunting is one of my favorite films in recent years. Whenever I see it playing, I get sucked in and have to finish watching till the conclusion. It also gives an interesting look at the city of Boston... from Harvard Square to South Boston.

I've always been all about the music so it's not a surprise that I'm a sucker for musicals. Here are my all time faves - 

South Pacific - Just a classic! Pretty people in pretty places singing pretty songs. SOME ENCHANTED EVENING chokes me up every time.

The Phantom of the Opera - It was amazing on stage but almost as good on film! The music sure is!

Grease - C'mon, who doesn't like Grease? Really? Men loved Olivia and women wanted to BE her!

Sweeney Todd - If only for my love, Johnny Depp but Helena Bonham Carter is wonderful in it too!

Burlesque - I can't get enough of this damn movie. My daughter and I want to open our own Burlesque lounge now thanks to Christina & Cher!

Aladdin, Jungle Book, Little Mermaid - Everybody has watched those movies at least 5 times each and I bet we all know the words to almost every song!

I would have to say one of my favorite movies is As Good As It Gets

I also love, love, love the movie Misery with Cathy Bates and James Cann

The movie that I am most traumatized by is The Wizard of OZ  I mean really; flying monkeys, houses flying in th air, witches melting, legs curling up under a house that fell on them........ Parents beware it is a recipe for future therapy bills!   ; )

This would be a tie for me: Vittorio De Sica's UMBERTO.D One of the first
( and best ) of the Italian neorealism films. 1952 - black and white - heartbreaking.

Next would be Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO. Samurai western - beautiful and a dark comic tale to boot-1961 black and white. Part of a trilogy.

Any Disney or Pixar movie is great along with just about any Mel Brooks movie.

O.K. How about this: movies that you will watch everytime they come on, even if you have seen them a million times. For me that would be ~

Jaws

Casblanca

Pulp Fiction

Alien

Big Lebowski

and my all time fav and the mother of all chick movies ( ladies if you have not seen this then you must) Now, Voyager. Bette Davis - nuff said

That was a great movie for sure!

Checkin it out Mike. Cheers!!!

Ok movies I would watch again and again- Alladin, Toy Story, The Secret Garden, The Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, Fiddler on the Roof, The 10 Commandments, Life is Beautiful, The Blind Side, The Bourne Identity, The Matrix, Shawshank Redemption, The Sandlot, Rent, Hairspray, Free Willy, Miss Congeniality, The King's Speech, Grosse Pointe Blank ( you must watch this one about a high school reunion).

Love The Titanic......very real and romantic.  

As a child, I liked Wizard of Oz; Sound of Music

More recently, Kings Speech - outstanding!

Movies, that no matter how many times I have seen them, if channel surfing, will stop and watch:

ALL the Harry Potter's, (saw the last one, yesterday......... I dont think it needed to be made into 2 parts).

Sound of Music

Grease

Six Degrees of Separation

Cabaret

Casablanca

Wizard of Oz

 Watched "Dances With Wolves" last night.  Had forgotten how much I love this movie.  Kevin Costner is amazing.  

@Mark HInshaw - Fred's dead baby....Fred's dead.............Love this movie!

Anyone catch the Golden Globes last night? I'm glad the fillm Boyhood won. That movie really resonated with me. It could be because we dropped our son off at college the day before seeing it. 

Based upon your recommendation, Joe and I watched this last night.  No offense, but it was really LOOONNNNGGGG!  LOL!  It was nearly 3 hours.  I didn't realize it took years to make the film until I read up on it today though.  It was confusing if you didn't know the history of the making of the film I guess.  I was disappointed by the end of the movie actually.  They just saw there looking at each other, and that was it??  Oh well - thanks for the post!  :)
