Notions of a Texas Ranch Girl

Favorite Movies

I really enjoy watching a well made movie.  I guess I like all types of movies - drama, adventure, suspense, comedy, chick-flicks, although I'll pass on the slasher/horror types.  My biggest complaint of movies is that they just add bad language/adult content, etc. just for the ratings and for some reason Hollywood (and perhaps the average American) believes this makes a better movie????? 

 

That being said, some of my favorites may have some bad language/adult content/violence.  If it gets overwhelming, then I'll pass on it, but as long as the prevailing theme, tone and content is positive, I can handle some objectionable material (although I'd always prefer a "clean" movie).  I also like good acting and engaging story-lines, whether it makes me think, just gives me a laugh, keeps me on the edge of my seat, or has me cheering, and grabbing for the tissues.

 

So these are my all-time favorites, these are movies I wouldn't mind owning and watching over and over:

 

1.  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

2.  Princess Bride

3.  Fiddler on the Roof

4.  A River Runs through it

5.  Gone with the Wind
6.  Dumb & Dumber

7.  Man from Snowy River

8.  The Gods must be Crazy I & II
9.  Scarlet Pimpernel (1982 version with Jane Seymour - no other version will do)
10.  Anne of Green Gables
11. Pride & Prejudice (A&E version, haven't seen the new one to recommend yet)
12. Sense & Sensibility
13. The Straight Story
14. Count of Monte Cristo
15. What about Bob?
16. Rat Race
17. Somewhere in Time

18. Foul Play

19. Forrest Gump

20. Braveheart

21. Much ado about Nothing

22. Oh Brother where art thou?

23. Tombstone

24. Lord of the Rings I-III

25. Rudy

26. Frisco Kid

27. Shindler's List

28. The Pink Panther and its many sequels (with Peter Sellers)

29.  Deceived

30. Cinderella Man

 

There you have it.  I'm sure I'm forgetting some, oh well.  Mmmm... pass the popcorn.

Looks like I could have written most of your list! Don't bother seeing the new Steve Martin Pink Panther. We took the kids out since dh was going to be gone for two weeks, and have always loved the Pink Panther movies, and it was funny, but too many inuendos...fortunately most of them went over the kids' heads! It is so nice to have "innocent" children still.

Glad to "meet" a fellow Alaskan too!

Some of these I have seen but not all. Makes me want to start a list of my own. Also wanted to say that even though I don't often leave a comment I do check your blog site daily. It is great to be able to stay in touch this way. I especially love seeing the pics of the boys, and you - and Nathan. And reading your posts - well all of it. Thanks
