So many to pick but I love Big Fish.
Agree. Such a good movie.
favorite movie – momento
Jaws… Most probably #1; vivid memories of being 12 and seeing it in the theatre, not wanting to swim that summer at my grandparents cottage on Lake Erie – Um, yes, the lake – No sharks there. But, I WAS 12. Your’e gonna need a bigger boat.
Drop Dead Gorgeous. It’s just funny all the way through and never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.
Grease! I never get sick of watching it. Maybe has something to do with my HUGE crush on John Travolta as a kid…
Favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas- I am a huge Tim Burton fan. He’s done so many great movies, its hard to pick just one!
My favorite flick of all time has to be ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’. Not only is it a hilarious classic, it’s insanely quotable. Do you find yourself struggling to make conversation at a party? Just drop the phrase “Bring me a shrrrrubbery!” Suddenly, you’re the funniest gal/guy in the room.
I’ll go with Shawshank Redemption. Great story of hope and perserverance.
I love so many movies but I’ll go with Stand By Me
hmmm Most favorite movie of all time… Thats a HARD one. I’m going Wizard of Oz, it was a mainstay in my childhood and I can still watch it over and over today!
The original Godfather. I just can’t get enough!
Stardust! A rare movie that stays true to the book it was based on. Cinematography and design are beautiful and Robert DeNiro is hilarious.
The Usual Suspects — all time favorite!
Dutch…a total classic. An absolute must-see and the perfect Thansgiving flick.
Birdcage.
I think I’ve seen Top Gun a million times and it thrills me every time… I was 10 when it came out and all I could do was fantasize that I was Kelly McGillis… still do!
A League of Their Own. I love baseball movies!
This is a tough one, but I’d have to say Forrest Gump. A true tail of blind acceptance, faith in humankind, coincidence vs. fate, the power of nonjudgement and, most of all, unconditional love.
I love all of the great musicals; my favorite is My Fair Lady. I could have danced all night…
Gone with the Wind. Great historical film that shows the true strength of a woman and what she would do for her family!
O Brother Where Art Thou.
I’d really like to pick the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy, but if I have to pick a specific film, it would be Return of the King.
Mine has to be Rozencrantz and Guilderstern are Dead. If you haven’t seen it, put it on your to do list.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Fried Green Tomatoes
” Miracle ” The movie about the 1980 US Olympic Hockey , Kurt Russel plays Herb Brooks the coach of the American team in a fantastic performance !
I can’t honestly say there is just one; but if I have to give jusf one it would be Irreconcileable Differences. I can so relate to Shelly Long in that movie…..
Classic, Ben Hur.
Wow- so many great ones! Gone With the Wind. Enough said.
Reservoir Dogs –Got to love Tarantino
Being a student and lover of film I have thousands of favorites. But if I had to narrow it down to only one, then I will have to go with RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. This 1981 cinematic masterpiece has everything….action, humor, suspense, romance, fantasy, chases, fights, exotic locales, one-liners, nazis, traps, special effects, and quite possibly the coolest, most realistic hero ever, Indiana Jones. THAT is how you make a nearly perfect movie.
So many to chose from but I would have to chose a past Oscar winner-Chicago.
Congrats! You’re the winner of two tickets to Road to the Red Carpet. Email me at callie@positivelycleveland.com for details. Thanks for playing!
silence of the lambs!
All time? “To Kill a Mockingbird” with Gregory Peck, in award winning adaptation by Howard Foote.
I am going to have to say The Breakfast Club. John Hughes just really knew how to capture the plights of american teens. He had many great movies this was just my favorite. I mean what teen couldn’t identify with one of them
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Hands down
It would have to be Hitchcock’s ‘North by Northwest’!
Braveheart. Although Mel G has not behaved well in the past few years, this is a great movie that inspires me to make history and fight for the underdog.
Darjeeling Limited
The Big Lebowski!
I would have to say The Artist. It took the art of film back to the basics. It really showed that movies don’t need the unnecessary flashy budgets that other films give us. It renewed the art.
My favorite flick was “The Notebook.” I loved how the story unfolded at the end.
1987 Merchant Ivory “A Room With A View” – it’s funny, it’s a period piece, it has great scenery, it’s romantic, it adheres closely to the book
This is a tough one! I am going to have to go with “Blue Velvet”.
I still remember the first time I saw it. How I felt, who I was with, where I was, and what I thought when it was over.
My favorite movie of all time – Gone with the Wind.
If I have to pick just one, its Braveheart. Powerful movie with a beautiful soundtrack.
The Princess Bride is my all time favorite!!
Synecdoche, New York. Some of Kaufman’s best work.
gangs of new york
Have a hard time picking between Gangs of New York, Apocalypse Now, Godfather, Long Riders, There will be blood. Contest is over so I don’t have to choose…..whew!
