Movies I LOVE

I don't have much time to make this pretty, but just for fun, here is a list of movies I love. It's not comprehensive or in order, but these popped into my head first:

Bowfinger - Steve Martin plays a wily, conniving movie director - a great satire on Hollyweird

Leap of Faith - Steve Martin plays a wily, conniving traveling evangelist. Awesome gospel songs too!

The Green Mile - Sad and powerful story, allegorical and moving.

Shawshank Redemption - It's about hope. Beautiful story.

Braveheart -Mel with big hair and a skirt. Celts with blue faces. What's not to love?!

Being John Malkovich - Twisted little story, with Cameron Diaz as a frumpy lesbian. Never boring.

Harold and Maude - Classic story: young boy falls in love with senior citizen. Totally cool wardrobe, 1971 chic. Awesome Cat Stevens soundtrack.

Dragon, The Bruce Lee Story - Great true love story. Also powerful treatment of racism, faith, and skewer of Hollyweird.

Reds - Oldie but a goodie. Warren Beatty rocks as John Reed, the man who publicized the Russian Revolution.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - I still know every word to every song. When I die, my version of heaven will be to live in Truly Scrumptious' mansion. But I don't want her corsets. Yikes.

School of Rock - Jack Black teaches kids how to rock. It's his legacy for the ages, the definitive Jack Black.

The Color Purple - When I need a good cry, I have to watch it. Awesome music and cinematography, too. Only Spielberg could make rural life looks gorgeous.

Whale Rider - A little girl gives an amazing performance and we learn about the Maori tribe in New Zealand. Beautiful, magic film.

Field of Dreams - Another movie that makes me cry, every time. Watching Kevin Costner in his prime makes this one of my favorites, too.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - I love Ferris. He rocks. A timeless classic.

The Quiet Man - John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in one of the first films made on location - Ireland. A terrific story.

My Fair Lady - A sentimental Favorite of mine from childhood. I also love Hello Dolly and South Pacific - don't tell - it makes me sound really OLD. [OK, I am old. I just don't like to admit it. Then again, 45 is the new 25, without the tattoos...]

Murphy's Romance - Sally Field plays a plucky little horse keeper before anybody thought to whisper to them. Funny and endearing. A classic.

So analyze it and see if you want to keep reading. I can see the Enquirer headline now: Movies You Like Reveal Your Personality!
