17. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

I've seen it dozens of times and it still manages to make me laugh each time. The characters are ones I can completely relate with.

"Will you excuse me? I cut my foot earlier and my shoe is filling up with blood."

[Whisp]

41. good one. thanks for reminding me.

one of the funniest.
i loved the part the woman from Air America played - Jeniene Garfoli? bah, i forgot her name but she had a great toughgal role in it that I really liked.

[Parche]

18. Original Willy Wonka

[Whisp]

20. Duets

Paul Giamatti is a favorite actor guy of mine and he's is just great in this. It's basically a movie about karaoke, where Giamattie plays a salesman that has a life crisis and takes off from his job and his home. It's funny, it's sad and it has some really good singing in it - the actors did most of it themselves, surprisingly.

gweneth paltrow and huey lewis is in it as well.

has one of the best versions of Try a Little Tenderness I have ever heard. hubby agrees too. it's a duet with Giamatti (he's an awesome singer if you can believe that)

this is one of my favorites to rerun and enjoy. along with O Brother Where Art Thou and the Big Lebowski and a couple others.

[CBHagman]

36. Okay, you've talked me into checking Netflix.

That sounds great.

[Whisp]

[JackBeck]

26. Jennifer was a hoot!

Thanks for the afternoon laugh!

[Whisp]

42. lol. that one had us screaming laugher out loud.

31. Oh! Also, The Birdcage, the Robin Williams one.

DAMN, that movie makes me laugh.

[jobycom]

33. Love Actually, and sometimes Amelie.

Gosh, remember the days when you had to wait until a movie came out on network tv to see it, and if you missed it, you had to hope they showed it next year? I love technology.

[tallahasseedem]

39. You've Got Mail

I stand by my choice!

[JackBeck]

40. I was an extra in that movie.

Did a scene where I got to dance with Parker Posey in a synagogue.

Obviously, the scene didn't make it to the final cut, as just about all of Parker's scenes were cut from the movie.
