We are, no doubt, a movie-buff family! While packing for our little get-way, I thought of a few of my movie lists:
Homeward Bound
Milo and Otis
The Gods Must Be Crazy 1, & 2 (Doug's all-time favorite movies and most people have never heard of them.)
Everafter
Holes
Back to the Future
Turner and Hooch
Shrek
Big (NOT a kids movie, surprisingly enough)
For romance:
French Kiss
You’ve Got Mail
Somewhere in Time
The Notebook
While you were Sleeping
The Mirror has Two Faces
Gone with the Wind
The Bridges of Madison County
First Knight
The Wedding Planner
Bird on a Wire
For a good escape:
Jaws
Sixth Sense
Chocolate
Chicago
Grease
Forrest Gump
Phantom of the Opera
Titanic
Shall we Dance?
Shawshenk Redemption
For a great laugh:
Seems Like Old TimeS (seriously, buy this movie)
Overboard
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
Ghostbusters
Tootsie
Housesitter (Doug hates it because it has so many lies!)
Christmas Vacation
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (Okay, I know that it shows my weaker intelligence, but it’s hysterical! Excellent, dude!)
Multiplicity
Mrs. Doubtfire
What’s up, Doc?
The Worst Ever:
War of the Worlds
Criss Cross - Goldie Hawn
Artificial Intelligence
Ishtar
Sophie’s Choice ( I was traumatized by the ending. HATED it.)
The Golden Child
Most Intense Jump Scene kind of Movies I’ve ever seen: (I don’t do blood and gore and can only count the few R rated movies I’ve ever seen, so it’s not the average list.)
Jaws
Sixth Sense
Sleeping with the Enemy
Psycho
The Ring (You couldn’t pay me to watch it again.)
Cape Fear (the Robert DeNiro version... I’m still scared!)
What Lies Beneath
the Omen (from the 70s, I don’t watch that kind of stuff anymore.)
If you haven’t seen a good movie lately, go out and rent:
Field of Dreams
Bird on a Wire
Romancing the Stone
Groundhog Day
Regarding Henry
Oh, Brother, Where art Thou? (Sorry, Carol, we still love it!)
It Happened One Night (Clark Gable’s other best movie)
Terms of Endearment (buy a box of Kleenex)
Philadelphia (Tom Hanks at his very, very best)
I hope that this list either brings a good memory or gives you something to do tonight! And my quote for the day is to give you a smile! Have a great day!
