What’s your favorite movie you saw last year, recently or in all of time? I think one of mine of all time is Remains of the Day (1993). Anyone ever see that?
I love your list. I’m glad I saw this BEFORE the weekend starts.
Temple Grandin jumped to all-time favorite movie — this is the only movie I watched two nights in a row, it was THAT good. It would fit under your “Based on True Stories and I Love True Stories” List — it’s a wholesome, CLEAN movie and Boo-appropriate. (Rated PG)
The Man who knew too Little…with Bill Murray, is my favorite moive “of all time”. I love it so much that I watch every year on my birthday! It never fails to make me laugh out loud.
You have to watch Plain Truth…one of the best Lifetime movies ever. The book is excellent too. (Jodi Picoult)
I caught the Plain Truth movie towards the end. Then I checked out the book at the library, not knowing it was made into a movie. The book was excellent.
good list- I also had NO opinion of Joyful Noise- I am sorry but that was misleading and it was not joyful anything- also loved best ex mar hotel and many others!
Some favorites are from the ’80’s- Labyrinth, LadyHawke, Star Wars (#4), The Big Easy, Pretty Woman, Breakfast Club.
I have a hard time watching sad movies or movies about the The Holocaust. I read Sarah’s Key and there is just no way I could watch that movie.
Crazy, Stupid, Love is my favorite I watched last year. I could watch Ryan Gosling over and over.
Rent Beast of the Southern Wild – ok for Sienna too.
Extremely Loude and Incredibly Close – heart wrenching!!!!!
Great lists…. you’re not Type A at all!! 😉
