Annie G Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Mostly Christmas movies because it brings back memories of watching them every year with the kids.

kbutton Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) You've Got Mail Anne of Green Gables (Megan Follows) Little Women (Winona Ryder) Secretariat Hidalgo Apollo 13 and movies like it--I must like crisis stories based on true events--Valkyrie fits too Australia Ever After Sweet Home Alabama--I haven't seen it in forever though, and I haven't caught it on a streaming service. When I was a kid, I really liked Friendship in Vienna, Goodbye Miss Fourth of July, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, and Back Home, none of which have appeared on Disney Plus yet, much to my dismay. Oh, and I probably had The Man From Snowy River memorized, lol! Adding The Night Train to Katmandu to what I watched over and over as a kid.

Spy Car Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 The first film that leaps to mind is Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 French New Wave classic "Breathless" (aka À Bout de Souffle) with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg. Not quite sure why, but i've always been crazy about this film. Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Another film I never tire of seeing and love so much, and probably few people have seen is an Iranian film called Bashu: The Little Stranger. I saw this in the theater when it was released in 1989. Fell in love with this poignant film. Beautifully and sensitively made. It is the only time I can recall going to see a film, then taking a friend so I could see it a second time, and then taking my Dad so he could see it (and so I could see it a third time).

Ali in OR Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 The ones I'll be able to think of are the ones we own on DVD. And now that we have Netflix and the kids are grown, I don't see our DVD collection ever growing much...a movie would have to be really re-watchable to justify buying now! So, the most-watched of what we have: The Harry Potter series Enchanted Ramona and Beezus Elf and the Muppet Christmas Carol (our holiday classics) Animated: Tangled, Monsters Inc and sequel, The Toy Story movies, The Incredibles, Beauty and the Beast, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Shrek movies I'll watch the BBC Pride & Prejudice, Princess Bride, should re-watch War & Peace but haven't yet, and a few others, but these are once-every-few-years. And we enjoy the Sherlock shows too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made on shoestring budgets in gorgeously beautiful black and white, this trilogy is near the apex of cinematic achievement AFAIK. Masterpieces!

Junie Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 In no particular order: Sabrina (the newer one, although I like both) While You Were Sleeping Lorenzo's Oil It Could Happen to You Pride and Prejudice (with Keira Knightley) Emma Mission Impossible (the first one) One Fine Day* The Cutting Edge (as @fraidycat mentioned above; I thought I was going to be alone on that one) The Parent Trap (the newer one) Dave *One Fine Day is a fun movie for me because it reminds me of how my parents (my mom and step-dad) met -- at daycare pickup. I was four and my parents were newly divorced. My mom fell in love with the dad of a little boy in my class (who later became my step-brother, although I didn't see him much because he lived with his mom).
