(I still think it's the )

ShadyHillsLane... have a look at Rumor of Angels if you liked Roan Inish.. I bet you would like it.. I LOVE it.

Wild Hogs was hilarious.

Latest favorite of mine would have to be Juno- Rented Cloverfield last weekend- not a good one in my opinion. It was filnmed the same way they did the Blair Witch Project.

My all time favorite has to be GONE WITH THE WIND- but thats probably because that is also my favorite book.

In no particular order ...........

Bridge on the River Kwai
King Rat
Ryan's Daughter
Braveheart
Rob Roy
Pride & Prejudice (of the many, it has to be the Colin Firth version)

Charade - Audrey Hepburn & Cary Grant together - WOW
Breakfast At Tiffany's - arguably Hepburn's best performance
Cat Ballou
Benny & Joon
Finding Neverland
Chocolat

A History of Violence
Eastern Promises
If A Man Answers (Sandra Dee / Bobby Darin bit of fluff, but I love it!)

I have the DVD and have watched it several times -- I think the only time I've ever watched it from start to finish was after my surgery last year. I just laid there in bed watching the whole thing!

If you liked that Rebecca, see if you can get the latest Jane Eyre with Toby Stephens (he's Maggie Smith's son) & Ruth Wilson - I've got it on DVD, it was on A & E (or PBS) either late last year or early this year - it's very, very good! If you lived closer I'd lend it to you!!!!

I've got the CF P & P on DVD too! Got it as a subscriber gift a few years ago from TVOntario.

Oh I forgot about finding neverland. I cried so hard.

Oh, I forgot to add Morvern Callar.

I couldn't leave out Dirty Dancing- not really for the acting- but loved the music, cars, and NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER!

Also Braveheart

ooohhh, I have so many:
When Harry Met Sally
The Green Mile
Jane Eyre
Braveheart
Pride and Predjudice
Shawshank Redemption
to name a few
my fave kids movies are :
Shrek
The Little Mermaid
Aladdin
Finding Nemo
