There are lots of new movies coming out every week.  It seems like a whole lot of old movies are being remade...and not necessarily for the better!  So....what is your favorite moview - and why?  Only one movie per answer please, but you can answer as many times as you want.  I would have a hard time deciding between Independence Day and Air Force One.  How about you?

I love Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon - what's not to love?
Juan J Martinez Sep 9, 2007, 7:00pm EDT
Easy Rider! The spirit of Freedom and the musical score is great. No over the top special effects , great story and great actors.
Donna K. Sep 9, 2007, 7:05pm EDT
Gatacca - Wonderful movie about reaching beyond the limits everyone assumes we're held in by

Gone with the Wind an oldie but goodie
Michelle K. Sep 9, 2007, 7:09pm EDT
Gone With The Wind- I think it is one of the most wonderfully written stories. I realize it is a movie, but when I watch that movie I think about the brilliant the writing that created it.

My favorite always changes - but right now it's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. What a fun adventure!!! The squid attack still looks fabulous and they didn't have CGI.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 9, 2007, 7:15pm EDT
But I also REALLY like the 1939 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame~
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 9, 2007, 7:18pm EDT
BUT

I always like The Wizard of oz!!!!

I agree with Peter, Wizard of Oz was great.
JoAnn C. Sep 9, 2007, 7:25pm EDT

I loved Bedknobs and Broomsticks because of their combination of real life and animation and also because I love Angela Landsbury she is such a gem
Sandra T. Sep 9, 2007, 7:35pm EDT
Wow.. it's hard to say my favorite. I guess one of my favorites has to be Speed because I'm totally gaga over Keanu Reeves.
Angela P. Sep 9, 2007, 8:14pm EDT
Too many, we'd be here all night and I'm about go to bed; 300AM comes real fast!

Dirty Dancing for the story line and great music from my generation.

It depends on the mood I am in. Ghost for a happy,sad tear jerker movie.
Judi F. Sep 10, 2007, 5:06pm EDT
Ever After. Kate and Leopold. Sound of Music. Wizard of Oz.

Anyone who knows me won't find these choices surprising.

Janna O'Donnell Sep 12, 2007, 5:55am EDT
I just watched "The Lake House" on DVD. It's a real gem--a romantic movie that is smart and tender and isn't just about sex.
Jerri H. Sep 14, 2007, 12:29pm EDT
Grease
Joan A. Sep 15, 2007, 5:17am EDT
The Wizard of Oz rocks! I loved The Grapes of Wrath too. My most recent film discovery is a lovely quiet gem called The Secret of Roan Inish.
Donald M. Sep 15, 2007, 4:57pm EDT
Just watched one on Sattelite. Doris Roberts, stars. I think the name of it was Remember me. Anyway she has althemizers and dont want to tell her daughter. It is so good but so sad.
M & M. Sep 17, 2007, 4:51pm EDT
Too many to remember. Most of the old ones or classics. I don't care for the language and sex in the movies today.
Shannon W Sep 18, 2007, 1:23am EDT
I like all kinds of movies. Some of my favorites are Gone With The Wind, National Treasure, Sahara, The Crow (first on only), Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, etc.
