Top 5 Favorite Movies
Did anyone see Gladiator on TV the other night? Let me just tell you that I LOVE that movie!! I know that some people might find it strange that I like such a graphic and violent movie, but I really do. I actually have it on DVD, but sat there for the commercials and all just to watch it on TV. Guess that tells you how lazy I am. So much so that I wouldn't walk down the stairs, open the entertainment center doors, grab the Gladiator case, walk back upstairs and put it in the DVD machine. I could have watched it with NO commercials, cut the running time down dramatically right? Did I get up? Nope!!,LAZY I tell you!
Glen and I watched it together which if you read my last post, you already know that that is one of my FAVORITE things to do. So we sat there, me quoting parts of the movie, Glen laughing at me, both of us enjoying one of my favorite movies of all time. Now Glen and I have our top 5 favorite movies and for some reason talk about them every now and then. He likes some REALLY cheesy movies. You know, Caddyshack! Are you kidding me? How can that be one of his favorite movies? To each their own, right?
So I thought that it would be fun to ask everyone their top 5 favorite movies. They do NOT have to be in any order. I am just curious to see how alike/different we all are in our movie choices.
Here are my top 5 favorite movies of all time:
- The Patriot
- Braveheart
- Gladiator
- Les Miserables
- Dances With Wolves (this is the one that I change every now and again, just for fun)

I am not into those time periods you like for movies... those days were so brutal and sad for me to watch acted out. I like mainly comedies & romantic chick flicks... like Hitch, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Chocolat, 50 First Dates, Shallow Hal, etc. A "happily ever after" feel-good flick just makes my day!
I like your new blog title!
Can't remember how I found your blog, but I've enjoyed reading it.
My favorite movies are very different from yours. They are:
~Adam's Rib (any Tracy/Hepburn movie, really)
~Secondhand Lions
~It's a Wonderful Life
~Finding Forrester
~Sweet Home Alabama
My favs are...
1.Grease.. YUM John Travolta LOVE HIM!
2.Wind Talkers
3.My Big Fat Greek Wedding
4.Shakespear in Love
5.Dodge Ball (HAHAHAHAAA)
now that I look at this list I could name like 10 more I LOVE~!
FUN POST!
I do have to say that I still cry eveytime I watch 50 firs dates! That IS a great movie!
I do love period movies, but more like Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Little Women, Pride & Prejudice (the A&E mini-series!)
I like so many movies- it's hard to choose just 5! But, often I'll see a movie and then not care to watch it again. SO having said that, I can watch these movies more than once:
-About A Boy
-The Village
-Fried Green Tomatoes
-Napoleon Dynomite!!
-and I can say pretty much every single word to Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Hey, this is one of my favorite things to ask people. I just think that it is so interesting. My favorites are:
Top Gun, Annie, The Karate Kid, Say Anything..., Christmas Vacation.
I did notice that miss Annie! Is that even legal? They are my favorite "kind" of movie, but none make my list favorites. I don't know. I will have to ponder that one.
Ohhhh, I'll play!
-Swing Kids
-The Joy Luck Club
-Like Water For Chocolate
-Cinema Paradiso
-Smoke Signals
I sort of have a thing for subtitles and "different" movies.
I loved reading yours. You have a thing for epics.
I adore period peice films, especially Jane Austen's stuff.
My top 5 are
~Gone With the Wind
~Grease
~Steel Magnolias
~The Long Long Trailer
~The Color Purple
Hey, what happened to Anna's blog?
Wow, I would have never guessed you for a Gladiator fan. My friends were all talking about it after softball the other night. We have seen this several times. Others I love (no order)
Appocolypse Now-based on Joseph Conrad's book Heart of Darkness. The only movie that does a book justice ideawise.
The Matrix
It's a Wonderful Life(thanks to my wife-this is her favorite and I have come to love it too)
Dancing with Wolves
There are others, but the mocha isn't kicking in yet.
Anna decided that she no longer wanted to be a blogger. :( I am sad about it because I loved to read hers. She just doesn't have the time.

Gladiator
Last of the Mohicans
Ever After
Braveheart
Like Water for Chocolate
