Two of my favorites are A Christmas Story and Princess Bride...Princess Bride is one of DH's favorites, too! Ooooh, and I love, love, love Shawshank Redemption! I think I have seen that movie about a bazillion times!! That line by Morgan Freeman always runs through my head, "Get busy living, or get busy dying"....

A holiday classic.

A Christmas Story

"Show mommy how the piggies eat!"

[Rapunzel]

Yeah, that's the one I actually quote from of all the ones on my list. Danged hilarious movie no matter how many times you've seen it.

"You'll put your eye out!"

Well, I guess I also tend to quote The Godfather a lot.

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

OK-

Mine are:

Say Anything
Grosse Pointe Blank
High Fidelity
Being John Malkevich
Sixteen Candles (although even back in the day I thought the wedding scene was just stupid overkill)
Supersize Me
The movies "Red", "White" and "Blue" although Blue is my favorite
La Femme Nikita (original French version)
and my newest is Kolya.

I'm a huge foreign film fan. I figure if I can't travel there, I might as well visit through the movies.

Here's mine:

Silence of the Lambs (by far my fave)
The Shawshank Redemption (each time we see it dh and I say "It's just such a good movie!)
The Sound of Music

When Harry Met Sally
Braveheart
Bend It Like Beckham
Air Force One ("Get off my plane!")

I never said my tastes were dignified....

"Show mommy how the piggies eat!"

I'm already saying that to my little boy. I can't wait till he's old enough to understand!

[Sheherezade]

Say Anything

(Is she going to m-m-m-eet with an accident, Ken?" "What kind of Buddists are we talking about?")

Housesitter
("To ra lo ra lo ra! To ra lo ra lie!...."
