1	Somewhere in Time 1980, PG) My all time favorite movie of any time - period! Jane Seymour is never more lovely than in her "The man I love's almost faded now ... if he were really here" monologue. It's a movie and score I could never tire of ... timeless!
2	Amazing Grace 2007, PG) AMAZING!!!!! One man can change the world ... There aren't enough stars to rate this high enough. This IS one of the best movies I have EVER seen. Not a weak performance from any cast member, an awesome script, beautiful cinematography, fantastic costuming and makeup, etc. etc etc. It was well worth every moment and penny I spent on seeing it!!!!!!
3	Camelot 1967, G) Don't let it be forgot that once there was a spot for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot. Richard Harris WAS King Arthur and no one will ever compare!
4	Gone With the Wind 1939, G) One of the most beautifully made movies ever! The whole cast is fantastic and Hattie McDaniel is at her authoritative/spunky best.
5	Say Anything... 1989, PG-13) "I gave her my heart ... and she gave me a pen." Who couldn't fall for Lloyd Dobbler? John Cusack ... in the most honest script ever penned. I'd say it's his best but what isn't?
6	The Princess Bride 1987, PG) The best comedic fantasy ever made!!!!! Cary Elwes even tops Errol Flynn on the silver screen (if that can be believed)! The cast is superb (though Robin Wright had a lot of growing to do). Mandy Patinkin is especially wonderful ("Hello, I'm Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!")
7	Howl's Moving Castle 2005, PG) Better than beautiful or excellent - Miyazaki's finest to date. Jean Simmons is awesome as Sophie. Bacall and Crystal make it exceptionally great. I LOVED IT!!!!!!
8	A Walk in the Clouds 1995, PG-13) Beautiful ... Keanu Reeves' best role choice I've seen - he could be a REAL person. The whole cast is superb and are set against the most exquisite scenery ever put on the screen; a credit to them all.
9	Labyrinth 1986, PG) "You have no power over me!" The poignant music by Bowie, the fantastic designs by Fraud - One of Henson's ultimate best. A true classic in art that reminds us all what's most valuable and that we never need to leave the MAGIC! We need to grow up, but we don't need to grow old.
10	The Last Unicorn 1982, G) The best Rankin/Bass ever gave us (though they gave us a lot) - the LAST unicorn. Other than Mia Farrow's singing, it is the most wonderful animated medieval triumph yet made -- "Magic do as you will." I never tire of its beauty or message.
11	Ladyhawke 1985, PG-13) Medeival magnificance! "Lord ... I know that You know what a weak willed person I am." Broderick is priceless as Phillipe the Mouse in the most beautiful love story ever imagined.
12	Much Ado About Nothing 1993, PG-13) Awesome!!! "She loves me ... why?" Because you're Kenneth Branagh, of course! (so I'm biased) He can get anything and anyone to look great. It's so great to see Brian Blessed again. also Reeves also gives one of the best performances of his career - evil Keanu, o-o-o-o.
13	A Streetcar Named Desire 1951, PG) A superb depiction of Tennesee Williams masterpiece. Vivian Leigh is ever awesome as poor Blanche. Oh the strength within the frailty of human beings and the weakness of a brut.
14	Gaslight 1944, Unrated) The perfect portaryal of a villanous passive agressive and how easily love can be deceptive. Boyer and Bergmen are superb as always.
15	Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 1958, Unrated)
16	Dead Again 1991, R) Deja vu ... but oh TOO true! It's an awesome, well thought out and conveyed mystery centering around karma. One of Emma Thompson's finest and Kenneth Branagh's triumphs as both lead actor and director.
17	The Quiet Man 1952, Unrated)
18	The Lake House 2006, PG) Well worth your time!! Reeves and Bullock both do a wonderful job with a lovely story. As always Christopher Plummer is wonderful.
19	Madame Bovary 1949, Unrated)
20	Anastasia 1997, G) Don Bluth's crowning achievement!
21	The Pirate 1948, Unrated) Absolutely the best Garland or Kelly musical. It is the most fun that you can spend the hours with. They both give such life to their characters that you can't help but smile at their schemes. Minnelli captured Judy so beautifully ... though it would have been hard not to. Kelly is as vibrate and passionate as ever.
22	French Kiss 1995, PG-13) I don't think I've watched a movie more than this one. Kline and Ryan are fantastic and always bring me to laughter and an assurance in love.
23	A Farewell To Arms 1957, Unrated)
24	The Aristocats 1970, G) Everybody wants to be a cat ... yah, man! I wore out four LP's on this story and music when I as a kid ... and can quote them still. Purrfect in every respect!
25	While You Were Sleeping 1995, PG)
26	Glory 1989, R)
27	The Neverending Story 1984, PG) An awesome book put magically to screen. Though it does have an ending, it lives on within all who venture into Fantasia. A hero is found within all of us when we're bold enough to face The Nothing. An excellent movie in all respects.
28	Serendipity 2001, PG-13) A beautiful love story full of hope in fate. Cusack and Beckinsale at their best.
29	Fantasia 1940, G)
30	Fiddler on the Roof 1971, G)
31	To Kill A Mockingbird 1962, Unrated)
32	The Robe 1953, G)
33	Strictly Ballroom 1992, PG)
34	The Unsinkable Molly Brown 1964, Unrated)
35	Murder by Death 1976, PG)
36	Harvey 1950, Unrated)
37	Scrooge 1970, G)
38	My Best Friend's Wedding 1997, PG-13)
39	It's a Wonderful Life 1946, G)
40	A Star Is Born 1954, PG) Captivating!!! Mason and Garland at their dramatic best.
41	Hello, Dolly! 1969, G) A Gene Kelly masterpiece! Streisand's most wonderful role opposite an endearing yet cranky Matthau. Michael Crawford at his quircky comedic best.
42	Tune in Tomorrow... (Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter) 1990, PG-13) Love it!!!!! Peter Falk is priceless (thought crude) and poignant. A clever comedy.
43	Sunday in the Park with George 1986, Unrated)
44	You've Got Mail 1998, PG)
45	The Heiress 1949, Unrated) Olivia de Havilland at her ultimate best.
46	The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex 1939, Unrated) No one else has ever had the strength of person to portray Elizabeth but Bette Davis and who better to be her loving adversary than Errol Flynn. MAGIC!
47	The Ghost and Mrs. Muir 1947, Unrated)
48	Bringing Up Baby 1938, Unrated)
49	Kate & Leopold 2001, PG-13)
50	Hamlet 1996, PG-13) Superb, though Branagh as a platnum blond took some getting used to. This is the MOST ingenius portrayal of the "To be, or not to be" monologue ... and I've seen a great many. Interesting time placement for the set and costumes with beautiful casting and performances by all.
51	Flower Drum Song 1961, Unrated)
52	Rear Window 1954, PG)
53	Murder on the Orient Express 1974, PG)
54	Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986, PG)
55	Robin Hood 1973, G)
56	Luther 2003, PG-13)
57	Point Break 1991, R) Swayze is awesome and Reeves does quite well for himself as the one to take him down. Bigelow seemed to need to prove that she was as dirty as any male director. The end scene is fantastically poignant.
58	Yentl 1983, PG)
59	Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel (Anne of Avonlea) 1987, G)
60	House of Wax 1953, Unrated)
61	How to Steal a Million 1966, Unrated) Fantastic!!!!! Hepburn and O'Toole in the most delightful comedy pairing of that time.
62	Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope 1977, PG) The first and the best. Lucas's masterpiece, full of newness, youthful strength, wisdom, and innocence. We'll love you always Obi Wan Kenobi (Alec Guiness)!!!!!
63	Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi 1983, PG) Ewoks! I tell you ... Ewoks! The only thing wrong with this film is that it's the end ... until you pop in the first one again and start the adventure all over again. May the Force be with you!!!
64	My Fair Lady 1964, G) Awesome ... the perfect way to view Pygmalion. Hepburn and Harrison are fantastically THEM!
65	City of Angels 1998, PG-13)
66	Joseph 1995, Unrated)
67	Better Off Dead 1985, PG)
68	Hamlet 1990, PG)
69	Othello 1995, R) Fantastic!
70	Dying Young 1991, R)
71	Lady and the Tramp 1955, G)
72	The Way We Were 1973, PG)
73	In the Good Old Summertime 1949, Unrated) The most precious love story with a whole lot of HARP.
74	The Black Swan 1942, Unrated)
75	The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer 1947, Unrated)
76	Green Mansions 1959, Unrated) An exceedingly beautiful picture. Audrey Hepburn is never more endearing than in this precious love story. I'd almost forgotten about this movie ... how foolish of me. I watched it several times many years ago with my mother and its memory is still vibrantly clear in my mind. I've got to see it again ... and I'm sure again!
77	Little Women 1933, Unrated)
78	A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum 1966, Unrated)
79	The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe 2005, PG) Perfect! Fantastic! Awesome! Beautiful! Wonder-filled! ... and Liam Neeson got his fix of dying in every good movie but was resurrected this time - yeah!
80	A Man for All Seasons 1966, G)
81	A Man Called Peter 1955, Unrated)
82	Stargate 1994, PG-13)
83	Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989, PG-13) You have chosen wisely! The last and the best! Spielberg somehow knew that he could only top Harrison and Rhys-Davies by adding Sean Connery ... a wise choice!
84	The Chipmunk Adventure 1987, G)
