Oh dear, it's 11pm already, I should be in bed.
Never mind. I am blatantly ripping off Renee here  , the music post has inspired me. What are the movies that you can watch over and over again? I love movies of all kinds, but to list the ones I like is impossible, so instead I want to know what movies you just keep coming back to.
For me, it's a lot of childhood movies with some more serious/film fest movies thrown in for when I'm in a meloncholy mood, and anything with a good soundtrack! Labyrinth, Empire Records, Dirty Dancing, Grease, The Princess Bride, Singin' in the Rain, Garden State, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Dazed & Confused, Existenz, La Vita e Bella, Sound of Music, 10 Things I Hate About You, Romeo + Juliet (1996 version), Strictly Ballroom, Moulin Rouge (bit of a Baz Luhrmann fan), Ever After... Hmmm, maybe this wasn't such a quick exercise after all! Must go to bed, may update more tomorrow.

Im also a sound of music fan and when someone lets me I know all the words...how sad is that...cant wait till I have a little one to introduce to it....then it will be ok again.
also love Love Always, Meet Joe Black (even though I have gone off Brad Pitt lately he is sooooooooooooooooooooo hot in that), LOTR (but only a couple of times...too long and I am too impatient these days) thats all for now but I am sure there are heaps of others. |

Mainly just "Grease" Love it!! We used to wag school and get it out at the Video shop and watch it all the time. Showing my age I guess. My Girls watch "Bring it on" over and over again and I don't actually mind it too much either it's much better than "High School Musical" which drives me nutty. |

And didn't you love the actions to the songs, I was cracking up the whole way through! It amazes me it's so popular with kids, though I suppose I'd prefer that to some of the other movies on offer these days.
Shaz, I watch Bring It On as well, although I don't have any kids old enough to blame it on yet. Just one of my easy watch indulgences! |

The best movie I have ever seen is Secondhand Lions with Michael Cain, Robert Duvall and that kid out of Sixth Sense. It's great for kids too and my Dad and I get it out when ever I go stay with him. I highly recommend it.
It's about a boy who has to go live with his two reclusive old uncles in the middle of nowhere who are rumored to have millions stashed away from the train robbery days. It's got arabian themes, lions, lost love, money, villans.......Everything!!! I just love it. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

I had my little brother round to stay the night last year, he would've been 11 at the time, and I got Willow out on DVD to watch. He wasn't interested at first, more into the modern movies with cgi and all that fancy stuff, but halfway through Willow he was realy into it, and after it finished he thought it was the best movie ever! -------------
