  • 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.

  • 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 to name a few
  • The only thing I can think of that really brings me up if I'm super down is a good round of MST3K movies.
  • 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

    etc!
  • Oh, I LOVED Hairspray!

    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.
  • Quote: The 10th Kingdom...love interweaving of fairy tales...and plus, the guy playing the wolf can gnaw on me alllllllllllllllll he wants!
    OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot the tenth kingdom. OH How could I forget that six or eight hour long masterpiece?

    Wolf is so smexy. Or suculant as he might say.
  • The Royal Tenenbaums... I watch it about once a week!
  • 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.
