I love all kinds of movies, but comedies tend to be ones I can watch over and over rather than dramas or action movies.

Grease
Clueless
Legally Blonde
The Graduate
Office Space
Mary Poppins
The Parent Trap (Hayley Mills)
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
You've Got Mail
Only seen once but I loved Juno, may have to add it to my favorites list in the future

Mainly into the cop genre and sports flicks. Mostly just boxing, basketball and football as far as sports go. Remember the Titans and Rocky Balboa are two movies that I'd have to put somewhere on my list.

Films that have a message behind them peak my interest. Looking between good and evil. Friendship. Concept of identity. Think Harsh Times, The Departed (or Infernal Affairs) and Training Day. You get the picture.

Also a fan of David Ayer's stories. My director of choice is Antoine Fuqua. Like the comedy and life drama genre as well, but that takes a backseat to crime and boxing.

Favorite movie has to be Bait.

GREAT movie! Dustin Hoffman is just phenomenal. Wish Bob Fosse had stuck around a little longer.

Default Favorite Movies

Happy Friday All. Hubby and I were talking last night about movies. Here is the question that started our discussion: Name 3 of your all time favorite movies. 3 you just wouldn't want to live without.

We would love to hear all of your answers!

(just for fun. Trying to contribute to "keeping Gloom at bay" )

In case you are wondering, 3 that we agreed on were (and this is in no way set in stone)

Mel Brooks History of the World part 1
Gross Point Blank
12 Monkeys
