Movie Night

What are your top ten favorite movies?

There are movies that are great. Like Shawshank and the Godfather, Good Fellows, Forest Gump etc. I wouldn’t turn one of these off if it came on. I’ve watched them so many times. They are timeless and well done. No one should try to remake a truly great movie.

These do make my favorites list, but I have favorites that are more like memories from days gone by when kids were different ages and we had movie nights.

Here are a few of those:

That Thing You Do

Armageddon

Americas Sweetheart (someone gave us this DVD and we watched it many times, it was light, funny, I don’t know, we also had My Best Friends Wedding and watched it a lot)

Little women (the 8Os version). It was Christmas to us, same with Elf, Its a Wonderful Life and the Muppets Christmas Caroll

Legally Blonde

Johnny Cash

The third Lord of the Rings, Return of the King

Princess Bride

My kids quoted these and many more movies all the time. I miss those old movie nights and those clever funny little kids. I was all about exposing them to culture so we watched a lot of Shakespeare and read a lot of classics, so fun movies were just fun. Charle and the Chocolate factory was a favorite movie night movie. Who doesn’t love Gene Wilder? Even the Johnny Dep version was watchable. We all agreed that the book was better!)

I love movies! I didn’t include animation favorites, but of course there were a few! My one son is the age of the boy in Toy Story. So yeah… next topic
