Casablanca

[Mz Pip]

22. Forbidden Planet

Amazing! That was the first movie that came to mind. I never get tired of that one. And Day the Earth Stood Still would be right up there too. Casablanca, yep and LOTR, oh yes.

Never have seen Great Escape though. Must rent it since your recommendations are so aligned with mine.

We must share some distant DNA.

:dem:

[YankeyMCC]

30. Very cool

... The Great Escape is pretty much my "war" movie and the first Steve McQueen movie (although he's only one of a big cast)

It's different from the others I've listed but a very good story and interesting characters (based on a true events, roughly anyway)

[Mz Pip]

51. My favorite war movie

that I haven't seen again in years is The Guns of Navarone with David Niven. I can even remember the words to the theme song - Islands of Greece are green and beautiful...

that one is soooo refreshing, i savour the subtlety
of its art.

Big Lebowski

over!

[Katherine Brengle]

27. Mine are soooooooo lame--

1) Circle of Friends (Minnie Driver, Chris O'Donnell, for some reason I just love it...)

2) Mona Lisa Smile

3) In & Out (Kevin Cline, Matt Dillon)

4) The Family Man (Nicholas Cage)

5) Armageddon (Okay, this one is good, but I have seriously watched it about 100 times... sometimes more than once in a day!)

[RevolutionaryActs]

29. I love Circle of Friends.

Minnie Driver is brilliant in that. :)

[Katherine Brengle]

38. She so is!!!

[Alleycat]

33. Me too

I have seen Armageddon so many times I can't count. And yes I continue to watch again and again.

Mona Lisa Smile was cute. Me and my daughter really like it. Does it qualify as a chic flic?

[Katherine Brengle]

42. If by "chick flick" we mean, film that empowers females, then hell yeah!

A lot of people found it redundant and cliche--I found it a wonderful addition to the genre. It managed to show that having the freedom to make choices in our lives means we can make whatever choice we want (particularly notable with Julia Stiles' character), not just the ones that were fought for by the women who came before us.

It made me feel really good about staying home and taking care of my daughter, something that a lot of my friends think is insane. 50 years ago, I wouldn't have had a choice--I would have had to stay home regardless of what I wanted. Instead, I was able to make that decision for myself, and I believe it has been a more fulfilling experience because of this.

Now I am trying to decide if I want to watch Circle of Friends or Mona Lisa Smile after Wife Swap... btw, they should totally change the name of this show, because I love it but the name is so icky...

[Alleycat]

46. Gothcha but

by chic flic I didn't mean anything derogatory just that girls-women-females tended to enjoy it for sheer entertainment value or other more profound and empowerment value.:think:
