So all I was thinking about movies. Right now I'm sitting on my fat *** and watching Hairspray. I <3 this movie. I love it because I find it so inspiring! And I got to wondering what is everyone's favorite movies? What really inspires you or just feels you with a good feeling, what movie do you put on to bring up your mood on one-of-those-days?
Mine are:
Bend it Like Beckham
About A Boy
Saved
Hairspray
These are pretty much my favorite all time movies that I could watch any day any time.
Harold and Maude, Secretary, The Red Shoes, Little Miss Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Full Monty, Edward Scissorhands, Hot Fuzz, Stranger Than Fiction, Requiem for a Dream, Big Fish, Bend it Like Beckham, The Constant Gardener, The Wedding Singer, Robin Hood (Disney version), Twin Town, How Green Was My Valley, Trainspotting
snakes on a plane, best in show, awakenings, tart, reservoir dogs, hook, run ronnie run, big fish, eternal sunshine, american beauty, little miss sunshine, stranger than fiction, wet hot american summer, garden state, american splendor

The Sound of Music, Dirty Dancing, LOTR, Diary of a Mad Black Women, Oceans (11, 12 & 13), Transformers, Crash, 300, Pirates of the Caribbean (1, 2 &3), Harry Potter (eventho the 2nd one wasnt good), Why did I Get Married?, Factory Girl, Hotel Rwanda, Saw 1-4, Alpha Dog, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Zodiac..hmm too much to name...i'm a movie fanatic..when i was in high school during the summer i would go to the movies weekly..lol..i still have all the stubs
When I'm having one-of-those-days?? Pirates of Carribean only because of the way Johnny Depp plays in it. It makes me laugh no matter what mood I'm in.
But for the general "What movies do you like?" I enjoy some of the following:
Don't Bother To Knock
Ghostbusters 1 & 2
Office Space
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Niagra
Harry Potter
LOTR
Edward Scissorhands
The Reaping
300 (chya!)
Monkey Business
Just saw Cloverfield tonight. It was incredibly badass. But only if you like... survival horrors. Like.. Resident Evil, Pitch Black, 28 Days Later, etc.
Favourites:
Juno
Boondock Saints
The Departed
Anything by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jersey Girl) G.I. Jane, because it inspires the **** out of me, and I always wind up doing sit-ups halfway through.
Hmm...I don't generally like to watch movies over and over, unless it's a really slow, vegging kind of day for me. What I will watch on those days are...
Pride & Prejudice...with Colin Firth in it...what a hunk! Murder, She Wrote series...when I'm feeling in the mood to be a detective. The 10th Kingdom...love interweaving of fairy tales...and plus, the guy playing the wolf can gnaw on me alllllllllllllllll he wants!
On tv....the repeats would be...
Scrubs...so funny! I don't usually do hospital shows, but this is good! Rosemary & Thyme...detective ladies in England.... 7 Days...a secret govt experiment that can change events from 7 days prior...very interesting! Stargate...I'll admit it, I've always wanted to know what else is out there...even if it's only science fiction.
And finally, sometimes Star Trek, in whichever series they're showing...
I love Hitch, soooo good. Harry Potter and LOTR work anytime for me too, and usually anything with Johnny Depp (I mean, come on, it's Johnny Depp). And, Cat's Tongue, Hairspray is a hilarious movie!
I just saw Cloverfield last night too, it was awesome except for the fact that I get motion sick from hand-camera movies
My favorite watch-over-and-over movies include...
LOTR
Little Miss Sunshine
I Heart Huckabees
Being John Malkovich
Royal Tenenbaums
Life Aquatic
Zoolander
Big Fish
Quills
Saved
Amelie
Stranger than Fiction
O Brother Where Art Thou
...oh so many more I love watching movies. Netflix is my best friend.
little miss sunshine bread and tulips(a womans quest to find herself - italian) les choristes (the chorus - SOOO SOOO SOO GOOD and sweet and inspiring) off the map (fun and quirky) dirty rotten scoundrels fried green tomatoes out of africa the english patient the notebook
I mostly like zombie movies and heist movies, though. Although I prefer them on stage, I'm a sucker for a musical, no matter what medium it appears in.
I saw 27 dresses last weekend. LOVED IT. Me and my friends laughed a lot. But it did make me realize that not many guys are actually like the "love interest", kinda like when you watch A Walk To Remember, or The Notebook.
Totally off Topic - Movies!!
