My Favorite Movies & Why They Are My Favorites

Movies I have loved:

Happy, Texas with Steve Zahn is my all time favorite movie. Everything about it was funny.

Snatch with Brad Pitt, even though I couldn't understand much of what was said, I laughed through the whole movie.

Wonder Boys with Michael Douglas, I loved the scene where Toby McGuire's character laughed out loud in the auditorium. Great music too. I bought the soundtrack.

The Kid with Bruce Willis, the audience stood up and cheered as the credits rolled.

The Truth About Cats and Dogs with Uma Thurman, for heart.

As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson, every odd-ball character was great.

Strange Brew with the McKenzie Brothers, is one of the movies you wish didn't make you laugh.

Waking Life (animation), because it's one of those you relate to some parts of it.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (animation), caught my imagination.

Easy Rider with Jack Nicholson, brought out the anti-establishment part of myself.

When Harry Met Sally with Billy Crystal, interesting romance with heart.

Pi with Mark Margolis, another one that just catches your attention.

The Royal Tennebaums with Ben Stiller, is oddly funny.

Fight Club with Edward Norton, I still think about it.

The Matrix with Keanu Reeves, another one that made me think.

Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood, I even cried a little the next day thinking about it.

The Lion King (animation), loved it and the music.

Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, love the story and felt I identified with the character.

Caddyshack with Chevy Chase, it's one of those that you just don't forget about.

America's Sweethearts with Billy Crystal, laughed out loud when the dog sniffed Billy Crystal's crotch.

Far and Away with Tom Cruise, interesting history to it and good music.

Annie Hall, just because you have to have a Woody Allen/Diane Keaton movie on the list.

The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson, fun even though it was about dying.

Beetlejuice with Michael Keaton, just a crazy movie.

Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe. He should have won an oscar.

Chocolat, brought out my innermost dream: Johnny Depp and chocolate!

Bounce, Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow should have academy awards for this movie.

What About Bob with Bill Murray, because we have a psychologist in the family.

Meet the Parents with Ben Stiller, been there, done that, LOL!

About a Boy with Hugh Grant, got my heart.

Chaos Theory with Ryan Reynolds, made me laugh and cry.

These are my favorite movies although I left some out that are on everyone's list like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Bridget Jones Diary and My Best Friend's Wedding. I love Billy Crystal, Ben Stiller, Diane Keaton, Ryan Reynolds, Diane Weist, Jack Nicholson, Woody Allen and Steve Zahn. Hugh Grant's movies seem to be getting better because the plots have more heart to them. I always like to see him as the guy who fumbles everything. I'll watch a movie just to see them in it. I'd love to see you add some of your favorites in the comments section. Maybe we can have the best collection on the internet.
