5. Arsenic and Old Lace
6. Stranger Than Fiction
7. Atonement
8. Pricess Bride

  4. I love Fried Green Tomatoes. I watch it whenever I'm sick. I don't know why. I guess it's just my movie of choice when I have a cold.

  12. Arsenic and laces is sooo cute ! I have seen it several times. I don't know if I have seen the other movies, because they often change the title when it is translated into french.

  13. Great choices Tracie. I would also go for this kind.

  15. We have a few favorites in common. I never really got into Princess Bride but my family loves it :)

  16. I recognized 10 and several of those were favorites of mine too. I'm curious about Searching for Angela. Is Howard's End the one with Emma Thompson?

  18. The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Princess Bride and Gosford Park are on my watch-over-and-over list, though Stranger Than Fiction was a favorite. Just haven't rewatched it yet.

    A few of my watch-over-and-over films are:
    Star Wars saga
    X-Men trilogy
    Young Frankenstein
    1939 Wuthering Heights
    Gone With the Wind
    Phantom of the Opera

  20. Love the Lord of the Rings trilogy; I think they're among the best movies ever made. Great TT. Thanks for visiting my blog.

  21. Oooh! Arsenic & Old Lace is one of my favorite movies & especially appropriate at this time of year!
    (I'm a big fan of The Lord Of the Rings Trilogy too)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I didn't know there WAS a movie version of Arsenic and Old Lace. I shouldn't be surprised that there is, I know... everything is a movie these days (except my books, but that's a matter of time. Right?).

    Neat choices.

  23. I'd have The Mummy and Cold Comfort Farm on my list. Well...and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've hardly seen any of the movies on your list. I generally go for more comedy or action movies if I'm watching with hubby.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I didn't know Arsenic was a book, either! I've only known it as a play.

    Too funny, huh? All these different formats.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love Mary Poppins! I cannot wait for my sons to get older so we can watch the Lord Of The Rings.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I haven't seen some of those is so long. I have about half of them in my dvd collection, too. I love old movies.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Haha! I probably have the entire Princess Bride movie memorized!

    ReplyDelete
  29. To Kill A Mockingbird, 12 Angry Men, Best In Show, The Holy Grail - a small sampling of my faves. The Princess Bride is a goodie!

  30. I've only watched #4 and #8, but I loved them!! =)

  31. I still watch Mary Poppins with my two daughters - love the music!!

  32. Thank you for being my #51 follower! :D And you have a lot of good movies here! the LOTR series are my favorites and I heart Princess Bride as well! :D

  33. I adore Philadelphia Story, Princess Bride
    & Fried Green Tomatoes, but have to say that I think Stranger Than Fiction
    was robbed of Oscars -- I really thought that movie should have won Best Actor at least.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hmm ... I've enjoyed many of these movies too but a few are unfamiliar. Perhaps I'll check them out as time permits since you love them so much ;--)
    Hugs and blessings,

  35. Mary Poppins... one of my all-time favorites!!!

    Sorry, a little late in getting over here. Busy weekend! :~D
