300
)
10Juno
The Patriot (
Breakfast at Tiffany's
American History X
Lord of the Rings (as with Sticky, it counts as one)
Batman Begins (love me some Bale)
13 Going on 30
Suspiria (mentioned in Juno. Favorite horror movie ever.)
Mean Girls
Yeah, sticky, I generally like any animated feature. I just love them for some reason that I'm sure a psychologist could reveal to me.
11Do you watch any anime?
12I love Juno!
13Lord of the Rings, Rocky, The Notebook, A League of their Own, The Matrix, The Big Lebowski, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Apollo 13, Dances with Wolves, Grease, Gandhi, The Shawshank Redemption ummm Ok I'm obviously going over 10.. And really I'm just naming movies that I like so.. I'll have to give this some thought
14CRAP. I forgot about Shawshank. Must update my list.
15Sticky, I haven't seen any anime, yet.
16Hayao Miyazaki is a great place to start. Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, The Castle of Cagliostro, and My Neighbor Totoro (in Japanese, the English girl's voice is annoying). If those get you obssessed, I think he had a hand in Pom Poko (raccoon nards overload, be warned) and Grave of the Fireflies (super, super sad). I'm trying to find a copy of Panda! Go Panda!
Anyway, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are wonderful movies and a great introduction to anime. Sorry for the long babble, I get excited.
17Hmm, I'll check a couple out, thanks- I'd want to see hub's face with Princess Mononoke. He always asks me to read off the titles of whatever Netflicks have come in because I do all the movies and then he either gets all giddy (guns and explosions) or depressed (Elizabeth I).

3. Juno
4. Saved!
5. Clueless
6. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

5. Marie Antoinette, mostly because I love historical costumes.
6. The Shawshank Redemption.
7. A History of Violence.
8. The Blues Brothers.
9. Moulin Rouge.
10. Romeo and Juliet.
Um, I'm gonna have to think about this...
22American Psycho is an honorable mention of mine, too.
23American Psycho is SO good. Nakey Bale
You know what's not good? The lame ass sequel
24Okay, I posted my honorable mentions.
Dude. When Christian Bale is having sex with the two hookers and making muscles in the mirror, it's so hilarious, but he looks SO good.
Never saw the sequel. Isn't the killer a chick in that one?
25Yeah, it's Mila Kunis
Oh, and Shatner is in it
26Oh, jeez.
27See now The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all time fav books.. But I didn't like the movie. I thought the ending sucked.
28Oh jeez, the sequel was SO awful!
29ash, I loved Marie Antoinette, too and almost put it down. It's like visual candy. Speaking of which, I forgot about Moulin Rouge, my old standby visual schmorgasborg favorite. And best love story ever. And Ewan McGregor.
30Amadeus is another of my absolute favs!

10. Dammit, on my way out to grab firewood, I thought of another one and now I can't remember. :freakingmissthosebraincells:
Marie Antoinette was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. There isn't much dialog in the movie, which helped a lot to make it so visually stunning.
I LOVE Amadeus, I totally forgot about that one!
34Oh, damn. I knew I'd miss some. Pulp Fiction, Dazed & Confused, Surf's Up, Stand By Me, Goonies...
Ok, this is just impossible.
35I must be on an anime kick, but another honorable mention for Mermaid Forest. Also Nightmare Before Christmas, Beauty and the Beast, the South Park movie, Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Kill Bill.

47Pretty Woman! Can't Buy Me Love!! Awesome.
48hmmmm...i'll have to give this some SERIOUS thought.
49I have them both on DVD! Patrick Dempsey was always my McDreamy and I so wanted to be Cindy! I think I have mentioned it before but we have a White Cabrio to live up to my fantasy! The hubby drives it now - so it is actually kind fo funny that we still own it. It is such a chick car!
