MY TOP 16

1:Gladiator
2:Meet The Parents
3:The Lord Of The Rings:The Fellowship Of The Ring
4:The Lord Of The Rings:The Two Towers
5:The Lord Of The Rings:The Return Of The King
6:Finding Nemo

13:The Hangover
14:Million Dollar Baby
15:Crash
16:The Hurt Locker

After looking at the list and writing down my favorites, it definitely shows what types of movie I like. Apparently, my favorites are mostly animated.

These are not in order of favorites; they are in order of the list of above and how I wrote them down.

Monsters
Shrek
Ocean's Eleven
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Shrek 2
The Incredibles
Madagascar
Mr & Mrs Smith
Cars
Chicago
No Country for Old Men

To be honest, that list just demonstrates that box office takings is not a good criteria by which to judge the best films. There is an awful lot of dross among that 100.

For me the best in the list are;

Minority Report
Ice Age 1 and 2
Finding Nemo
Batman Begins
Casino Royale
The Dark Knight
WALL-E
Up

The Oscar winners add a lot more quality and No Country... and Hurt Locker are better than anything above them in the list.

Doubt I can come up with close to 50… but what I can, here goes:

How The Grinch Stole Christmas [saw it in the theatre]
Meet The Parents [I can’t seem to stop watching it whenever it plays]
The Perfect Storm [saw in an Imax theatre]
[Saw only part of The Lord Of The Rings:The Fellowship Of The Ring]
[Saw The Princess Diaries, but am not sure it would make it on my list]
Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets [still not sure about that, as I keep missing parts of it]
Lilo & Stitch [I will forever remember this, because Mom’s boyfriend at the time thought we were going to watch “Lilo and Snitch”]
Finding Nemo
Bruce Almighty
[I’ve heard good things about Anger Management, but keep missing opportunities to see it]
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days [my friend brought it over to watch]
[Did see Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban, but that has to be one of my least favorite]
[I haven’t seen The Notebook because the book’s so sad I can’t bring myself to watch]
Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire [ironically, this makes it onto my list because I can’t get enough of the graveyard scene]
[I keep wanting to watch Monster In Law, but for whatever reason keep missing it]
[I just now remembered that Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix is a step below the third one]
Enchanted [my friend and I saw this in the theatre, at which time she liked it more than I did; the second time I saw it, I appredciated it better]
Bee Movie
[When I saw Hairspray, I didn’t understand the point of the film]
The Bucket List [one of the last movies Mom and I watched before I moved out on my own]
[Bridge To Terabithia was too sad for me]
The Chronicles Of Narnia:Prince Caspian [I saw this one at least three times]
[Bedtime Stories would also be one of my least favorites, though I tried very hard to like it]
