Muppet Treasure Island 1996, G)
My favourite pirate movie of all time (sorry Johnny & Orli). |
|
| 2 |
The Muppet Christmas Carol 1992, G)
I watch it every Christmas eve and sing along. |
|
| 3 |
Rigoletto 1993, Unrated)
Nearly a perfect movie. Includes echoes of the Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast, but stands on its own as a wonderfully crafted story. I highly recommend it. |
|
| 4 |
Oliver! 1968, G)
I love it so much I even named my cat Oliver. |
|
| 5 |
A Walk to Remember 2002, PG)
For once, Hollywood managed to make a movie about a dedicated Christian and treat her respectfully. Such a beautiful movie. |
|
| 6 |
10 Things I Hate About You 1999, PG-13)
Wonderful updating of a difficult Shakespeare play. |
|
| 7 |
Labyrinth 1986, PG)
I love this movie - the music, the costumes, the sets, the story... |
|
| 8 |
Enchanted 2007, PG)
Where to start? I loved it! It pokes fun at every Disney Princess film, but it's just such good-spirited fun. My favourite part is where Giselle gets everyone in Central Park singing and dancing. "They know the song too? I never heard this song before in my life!" Priceless. |
|
| 9 |
The Princess Bride 1987, PG)
"My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!" If you've seen this movie, you know why I love it. |
|
| 10 |
Willow 1988, PG)
Did you know there are books that continue the story? Elora Danan grows up and stuff. They're really good. Shadow Moon, Shadow Star, and Shadow Dawn. |
|
| 11 |
Merlin 1998, PG)
My favourite King Arthur movie |
|
| 12 |
First Knight 1995, PG-13)
Sean Connery makes an excellent aging Arthur and I love how the love between Lancelot and Guinevere is so innocent here. |
|
| 13 |
A Knight's Tale 2001, PG-13)
I love it! I absolutely love it! |
|
| 14 |
The Count of Monte Cristo 2002, PG-13)
A breathtaking story of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption. |
|
| 15 |
The Shawshank Redemption 1994, R)
A powerful story |
|
| 16 |
Spider-Man 2002, PG-13)
Love it |
|
| 17 |
Spider-Man 2 2004, PG-13)
|
|
| 18 |
Spider-Man 3 2007, PG-13)
I loved it. Peter & Harry's good & evil back-and-forthing was very well done. I love an actor whose eyes act, and Toby Maguire's eyes were SCARY when he was evil. The undercurrent of "you took my father away from me" was handled near perfectly. This is definitely the best of the series so far. |
|
| 19 |
Kingdom of Heaven 2005, R)
It was a box-office flop, but, like The Man in the Iron Mask (starring that other pretty face that no one takes seriously), it was excellent anyway. |
|
| 20 |
Batman Begins 2005, PG-13)
My favourite Batman movie. |
|
| 21 |
X-Men 2000, PG-13)
|
|
| 22 |
X2: X-Men United 2003, PG-13)
|
|
| 23 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 2004, PG)
I loved this one, especially the twist at the end (the little surprise about Sirius Black). |
|
| 24 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 2005, PG-13)
It made me laugh, it made me cry, it terrified me, it made me want to stand up & cheer. It was awesome. |
|
| 25 |
Shrek 2001, PG)
|
|
| 26 |
Shrek 2 2004, PG)
I loved the LotR & Spiderman references. |
|

Matilda 1996, PG)
|
|

Night at the Museum 2006, PG)
A fascinating premise excellently told and acted. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002, PG-13)
|
|
| 36 |
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003, PG-13)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe 2005, PG)
Excellent |
|
| 38 |

Loved it |
|
| 40 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End 2007, PG-13)
Wow. What a way to end the trilogy. Elizabeth's role in this film was incredible. I always love a strong female character (being a strong female myself) and she stole the movie (sorry, Johnny). |
|
| 41 |
Signs 2002, PG-13)
Stunningly wonderful. |
|

Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan 1982, PG)
The difference between this movie and it's precursor couldn't have been greater. This one was absolute excellence. |
|

Legally Blonde 2001, PG-13)
I love it. |
|
| 64 |
Mio min Mio (Mio in the Land of Faraway) 1987, PG)
It's actually called "The Land of Faraway." Yahoo! Movies has it under this non-English title too, and I don't know why... |
|
| 65 |
Singin' in the Rain 1952, G)
"Good mornin' good mornin' / We've talked the whole night thru..." One of my favourite old musicals. |
|

|
| 73 |
Blades of Glory 2007, PG-13)
I liked it so much I went to see it twice. And I usually feel pretty much so-so about comedies, especially with Will Ferrell. Maybe it's partly because I loved watching figure skating as a kid or maybe it's Jon Heder... |
