Hey guys... Just trying to get to know more about you.

What is your favorite movie(s) of all time (one of those movies you can watch over and over again and it never gets old!)

I will start.... I'm not usually known for chick flicks as I am a more mystery drama but watching 'Pretty Woman' with Julia Roberts never gets old.

'Dirty Dancing' with Patrick Swayze is another one that never gets old.

'Goonies' - love it! Bring on the nostalgia!

What are yours!!!!!!!!

Forgot to mention 'Sleepless in Seattle'. Another oldie but goodie!

'Rocky IV' Had to throw a macho one in there. I've got an image to maintain :)

I love "Airplane" from the late 70's, Grease, The Wizard of Oz, 16 Candles & Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory 😄

Can and have watched them all numerous times.

(You all remember before VCR's, The Wizard of Oz only came on TV once/yr in the spring I think, & it was a big deal to watch it. Ahhhh the good ole days) :-)

Good ones Lisa! Forgot about those.... Highly nostalgic! I grew up to these movies'
Posted 10/26/2014 2:11 AM (GMT 0)
Airplane...pretty sure that one made me laugh out loud Lisa---but if I remember correctly I had to cover my eyes for a few parts...??! Dirty Dancing is pretty amazing as well. Gets a bit sad for a while though. :(

I'm a big fan of The Bourne Identity movies. Psychological Thrillers / action I think??! So much going on, so much to follow, just love em. Also the Matrix #1. Just love how it can entrap me with the dialogue and visual effects. And so intriguing!

You know I have never seen the Matrix... It came out while I was going through Marine Corps Boot Camp. I think it's time! Heard so much good stuff about it!
Posted 10/26/2014 2:27 AM (GMT 0)
I've only watched it twice, but I remember it so vividly. I think it's a bit scary though, so don't watch it alone....! :) Marine Corps reminds me of another good movie.....


Pearl Harbor.


Prepare to cry!


And on a final note: Thank you SO MUCH for your service to our country's safety in the Marine Corp!

I'm not really a movie person but two movies I enjoy watching without getting tired of them are, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, and Moulin rouge.

Kinda funny really because I rarely watch movies and 90% of what I do watch is comedy.

Now and Then. I loooove that movie. Also License to Drive, because I love Corey Haim.

Top Gun
Romeo and Juliet (Leo version, obviously)
Can't Buy Me Love.

Happy Gilmore
Super Troopers
Pulp Fiction

I mostly love stupid comedys! They are a good, mindless distraction for me. :)
Posted 10/26/2014 6:30 PM (GMT 0)
Great films everybody! You guys mentioned movies that were great that I totally forgot about ie The Legends of the Fall, Shawshank Redemption, And Officer and a Gentlemen. MG, Super Troopers was hilarious! I loved the part where he pulled someone over and made a bet with his partner that he could say "meow" ten times! I rolled in the floor laughing!

Aww, the beauty of healthy distractions!

There's no way I can change the channel when Jaws comes on.

I was not old enough to see it in the theater...but when it came out on t.v. and later VHS...I was hooked... (arh arh...see what I did there?)

Roy Schieder was the schizzle...

"Smile you son-of-a-*****!!"

My family pretty much knows that the main t.v. is gonna be out of commission for 2+ hrs. when this Peter Benchly classic comes on.;p

Fun thread, C!!

Jaws is pure classic Scaredy cat.
I forgot about Legends of the Fall..love that one too.
Another one that is really good that I forgot about is Steel Magnolias.

Independence Day
Silver Linings Play Book
Forrest Gump
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Shawshank Redemption
Titanic
Old TMC movies with Bogart, Cooper, Gable and the rest of those great old stars
And all of the above

Movies take you away....for awhile....and help you forget about anxiety, health issues, and the myriad of symptoms that plague our thoughts most of our days. I lean on them for my therapy sometimes and it never disappoints.

Hi Cornell! Thanks for this fun and interesting thread. I loved "GLADIATOR" with Russell Crowe, "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" with John Travolta and "THE LION KING."
Posted 10/28/2014 3:31 PM (GMT 0)
Good ones! Here's a couple more that I thought about that have not been mentioned yet...

Ghost (with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze)

The Family man (Nicolas Cage)

Fried Green Tomatoes

Home Alone (the first one)

There's nothing more special then a good movie, a comfortable couch, a big bowl of popcorn, and your honey bundled next to you! That will halt the anxiety monster for awhile!

Love you guys!

There are only two movies and I'll probably be the only one that says them, but they are (drum roll please.......)
Thoroughly Modern Millie with Julie Andrews.
I love, love, love it!
And
Parlor, Bedroom, and Bath with Buster Keaton.
That movie is hilarious!!! Of course, you have to understand it from the mores of the times!

I'm more of a TV show gal.
Love my Mission Impossible reruns with Peter Graves. It's a cartoon come to life, but fun all the same!
I love Cannon with William Conrad...that's one hefty man that still had something sexy about him! LOL!

I don't care for much modern stuff. Guess I was born at the wrong time!
