Talking

I really like most of the movies already listed, so I'll just add a few here.

I'm usually the oddball in that I really dislike Johnny Depp for the most part. The only two movies of his that I really like are What's Eating Gilbert Grape? and Donnie Brasco. Donnie Brasco is HIGHLY underrated, IMO. Not only is Johnny Depp good in it, so are Al Pacino and Anne Heche.

My two ALL TIME favorite movies are The World According to Garp, which features Robin Williams (before he got too goofy for film), Glenn Close (as Garp's mother), and John Lithgow (as... well, you'll just have to see.) I know a lot of people say that the movie doesn't compare to the book. But, I saw the movie LONG before I read the book and I liked the movie a **** of a lot more than I did the book.

My other ALL TIME fave is The Big Lebowski. With this one, well, it depends on what kind of sense of humor you have. But if you're open minded, it's worth a rental for sure.

Loved The 5th Element!

Also the BBC Pride and Prejudice.

That brings me to Bridget Jones Diary (modern day Pride and Prejudice)

Sense and Sensabilities (however it is you spell that)
Notting Hill
Love Actually (hmm...seeing Hugh Grant pattern, weird)
Chicago
Joy Luck Club (for when you need a good cry)
Supper Size Me
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Gone With The Wind
A Christmas Story
French Kiss

Favorite of all time would have to be Shawshank Redemption.

A Christmas story. I watch it as many times as it is on. This area it is on for 24 hours solid on Christmas day and I watch it all day. Much to hubby and kids annoyance.
You'll shoot your eye out.
He looks like a pink nightmare. Love Love Love it!
