[Holli]

I loved Martian Child...great movie!! Jamie your movie list is quite an indie list. I like that..............you've got some really good ones on there.

Jennifer I would watch the movie of your life for sure!! I hope that comes to fruition for you.....

My top 3 movies are : Pulp Fiction, Silence of the Lambs, Seven

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

I LOVE Pulp Fiction!!
man..i just have too many movies that I like.
Holli..my boyfriend HATES basically all the movies that I like..he thinks I have weird tastes. I just never really find myself feeliing particularly moved by alot of big movies out there. I mean..there are definitely some that I love..but I prefer to watch movies that are kind of deep and really move me in some way.

[Emily]

My favorites are:
Casablanca (could quote the entire thing)
Signs
Miracle
You've Got Mail/Must Love Dogs*
The American President
Searching for Bobbie Fisher

*Must Love Dogs is slowly taking the place of You've Got Mail when I need a very sweet, feel-good romantic comedy to pick me up on a bad day.

Brittany, Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite = heeeeee!

[Holli]

Pulp Fiction is my ultimate.....I have alot of movies I like but those 3 are my supreme faves with Pulp Fiction smack dab at the top.

I like deep meaningful movies too Jamie!! Have you ever seen Evening? Or Waitress?

[Brittany]

I LOVED Waitress. DH hated it. I thought it was faulous. Oh, and Enough with JLopez was good.

[Kristen]

Where do I even begin:

Circle of Friends
Pearl Harbor - (yes I know I'm like the only one in the country that actually liked it!)
City of Angels
Michael
Ice Age (1 & 2)
Shrek (1,2 & 3)
And almost every football movie ever made (especially Rudy!).
Oh, and Sex in the City

[Robyn]

Holli - Silence of the Lambs? Seven? You've got quite the dark side there. Seven freaked me out so much I vowed never to watch it again!

Some of my faves:
Wizard of Oz
Mary Poppins
Some Like It Hot
The Philadelphia Story
ummmm...(whispering) Dirty Dancing

I know there's some 80's classics that I am totally missing but this list will have to do for the moment.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

ooh Mary Poppins!! :)

i could list a million Disney movies!!

[Brittany]

oh, no i liked Pearl Harbor!

[Jennifer]

Thanks Holli!!!

I cannot believe for a second that I forget SEX IN THE CITY my all time FAV!!! Pulp Fiction is good too.

Bobby was brilliant as well..the use of old footage merged with new was brilliant.

[Meg]

I have given up watching movies with my boyfriend. He likes the dumb stupid ones, not me. I like indie, foreign, documentaries etc. Some big movies but not generally.

Just an FYI there is a movie group.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

Meg..i am in the SAME exact boat as you. the dumber the movie..the more he likes it. I like things that actually make me think or require SOME thought to watch them.

[Holli]

Oh I love my serial killer movies....and yes Roxy don't let the blond hair and innocent looking face fool ya. I am NOT sweet that's for sure!!! LOL I have more of the dark side in me than you'd think.

I also loved Pearl Harbor and Titanic for that matter. ALL 80's movies and of course Grease One and Two.

I loved the movie Street Kings that just came out not too long ago and I also have watched my fair share of Mary Poppins. That's how diverse I am with movies ;)

Holli, wasn't Ghost Town cute? My husband loved it too.

[Hannah]

Has anyone seen Once? I forgot to add that to my list & I just loved it. A very poignant love story w/great music.

[Holli]

Ghost Town was hilarious......definitely my kinda movie! I have been wanting to see Once also. I have it on my Blockbuster Online list.

[Hannah]

I loved Once & was so happy when they won the music award at the Oscars for it. The main actor actually wrote the songs for the movie.

The last one I saw (yesterday night) was Mamma mia! and I loved it!! :)
