I never miss The Wizard of Oz when it is on even though I am 72 years old. It has the best songs, the best acting, the best set designs, a little humor here and there, and a great storyline. Not to mention the great songs like "Over the Rainbow" and "We're Off to See the Wizard"!

I love "Goodfellas." I've seen it 10 times now. My other "bestest" favorites are "It's a Wonderful Life," the original "Miracle on 34th Street" with Natalie Wood, and the original "A Christmas Carol" with Alistair Sims. Sadly, I've missed It's a Wonderful Life 3 years in a row because it's only on one time. Other movies are on weeks at a time near Christmas but not this one. It's only on Christmas Eve and we're holding our Christmas Eve party at that time.

I agree completely, but if you want an emotional trip go see "Judy" (the new film about Judy *Dorothy* Garland), but bring a large box of Kleenex.

I always enjoy A Christmas Carol (with George C. Scott), and my absolute favorite, It's a Wonderful Life!  Most movies that I like are pretty old, such as Stella Dallas (or anything with Barbara Stanwyck in it!), or Mildred Pierce (or anything with Joan Crawford in it.) I guess I'm a sucker for the melodramatic acting from back then! Also, I guess I like them more because they're not constantly swearing in them. I'm not a prude, but I get bored hearing words people nowadays use for stand-ins for intelligent words.  :peace:

If you're a Barbara Stanwyck fan, you should see Ball of Fire. It's really cute and has lots of character actors in it that you'll recognize.  :icon_rr: Plus Gary Cooper as a bonus.

I guess if you are going to watch a movie more than once, than tv is the way to do it. No one may ever know you did it!

I am a huge Batman fan, particularly of the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy. I can do without Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Ben Affleck in their respective Bruce Wayne/Batman renditions. They were absolutely horrible. I love Christian Bale as the Dark Knight, however. :)

Mean Girls (the original!), Braveheart and the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  THe remake of CCF was good, too, but just can't beat the original imo.  Anyone agree?

I don't have any favorites.  But I don't mind watching a movie more than once.  My husband doesn't!  So it is sometimes difficult to find a movie to watch :(

My favorites are Cool Hand Luke, Braveheart, and Rocky 1.

My favorite movie will always be "Gone With the Wind."  I've read the book several times, and many of the sequels and fan fiction. I don't think I could find stronger, more compelling characters than Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler.  They just don't make movies like that any more!

The majority of the Rocky movies (with the exception of Rocky 5, ugh) and the Dark Knight Trilogy are some of my favorite movies.
