I'm going through a phase at the mo of buying dvds on trademe once every couple of weeks and I want some cool ones to buy..
So I wondered whats some of your fav movies? Some of mine are: - Shawshank Redemption - Love Actually - Saving Private Ryan - Forrest Gump I like war movies and ones that actually have a plot but some chick flicks are really good too. |

We have a vaaaast collection too (and never know what to watch).
Definitely Amelie! :D And in the same vein, City of Lost Children. Others I keep going back to: Office Space, Tommy Boy, Usual Suspects, Labyrinth, Princess Bride, Willow, (these are popular huh!) Ladyhawke, Big Fish, Totoro, Spirited Away, Collateral, Role Models (which is brilliant). And my (not so secret) shame, Disney movies - everything from the Little Mermaid on. ;) -------------

I heart the old Disney movies - The Lion King etc. The newer ones just aren't as cool (or maybe I'm getting old  ).
I also like The Green Mile Glow, and in a similar vein, The Shawshank Redemption. Willie says I have to say Once Were Warriors and Utu  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Loved Marley and Me.
Practical Magic, Dragonfly, Whalerider , Day after Tomorrow, Broken Bridges. Sister hood of the travelling pants 1 and 2. Oh and 'he's just not that into you' is a great movie and is along the lines of Love Acutally. I like romantic dramas best, and also natural disater/end of the world movies. Oh and all those great family classics, like ET, Short Circuit, Chitty chitty bang bang, flight of the navigater e.t.c One movie I have been looking for online is 'the boy who could fly'. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
