Movies

09/16/12 | movies

It is a lazy Sunday evening and what better way to spend a few hours than with a great movie.  Today’s choice?  The Count of Monte Cristo – one of my all time favorites!   I view movies as an amazing escape from the world, for that 90 minutes or a so more depending on the type. My favorite genres are Romantic Comedies (RomComs), Comedies, and Action Movies.  I have listed my favorites below:

Fast Five, The Help (2011)
The A-Team and The King’s Speech (2010)
The Dark Knight, Sex and the City, and Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
The Dark Knight (2007)
Casino Royale, The Devil Wears Prada, The Holiday and The Prestige (2006) 
Hitch, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Wedding Crashers (2005)
The Notebook and Wimbledon (2004)
Elf, Finding Nemo, How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days, and The Italian Job (2003)
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Ocean’s Eleven, Shrek, and Zoolander (2001)
Almost Famous, Erin Brockovich, and Gladiator (2000)
Cruel Intentions and Double Jeopardy (1999)
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Good Will Hunting and Titanic (1997)
Braveheart and Toy Story (1995)
Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 
Schindler’s List (1993)
Rain Man (1988)
 Dirty Dancing and The Princess Bride (1987) 
Top Gun (1986)
The Breakfast Club (1985)
16 Candles (1984)
Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961)
The Roman Holiday (1953)
Casablanca (1942)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

I love watching movies any time of day alone or with friends but my all-time favorite is watching one of my favorite movies with just one person who has not seen it before – watching their reactions makes it even more exciting and is like it is my first time too!

    Oh I love this list! I’m such a film buff. I watched Top Gun last night for what seemed like the 100th time (Tom Cruise was so hot).
