I LOVE the pirates of penzance! and Shakespeare in Love, Much Ado about Nothing, Singing in the Rain and all the Shirley Temple Movies!

I'm a huge film buff and anything that doesn't show people being tied down and tortured doesn't really set me off, so this is really hard...

The Star Wars Saga Trilogy
Jaws
Aliens
Indiana Jones films
People Will Talk
It's A Wonderful Life
Dune
A Bridge Too Far
The Battle of Britain
Zulu
Black Hawk Down
The Perfect Storm

You know what? There are loads.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Twelve Angry Men (or Jurors?, I can't remember but the one with Jack Lemmon -- I miss him), Runaway Jury, and Erin Brokovich -- I love court case movies, especially when the underdog wins (although To Kill a Mockingbird didn't turn out that way). To Kill a Mockingbird is coming to our town at one of the oldest cinema houses. I can hardly wait to see it on the big screen.

For some other youthful irreverence, I like to watch Juno and Whip It. Yea! Roller Derby!

Big Fish :) great tim burton movie. I like it because it is safe but also very meaningful and symbolic.

Absolutely! Thanks for reminding me of that film; I haven't seen it in a while, and now it's on my re-see list.

I put Hugo in that category, too.
