It would really have to depend on my mood but I could pretty much always watch:

In the Company of Wolves
Alice in Wonderland (any version)
Gothic

I know, it's three not one.

Btw, my real favourite movies are Harold & Maude, Rushmore, Brazil, Jaws, A Touch Of Evil, Night Of The Hunter and Harvey.
Actually maybe It's A Wonderful Life too.


Okay. :lol: Why didn't you expcet them?

And honestly, The Working Girl is an awful movie, I just love it because it represents everything that was ridiculous about the eighties and early nineties. The good times I missed out on. :(

Music of the Heart is just amazing though. I love me some Meryl Streep.

Working Girl is great! Funny, smart, brilliant comic performances. I'm old enough to have seen it in the cinema when it first came out too.

I guess I didn't expect those choices from you because they are the sort of movies my mum would cite as her faves. I think when I was your age my favourites were angsty teen stuff like Heathers, Pump Up The Volume (I even had the soundtrack!) and The River's Edge.

:lol: Lucky you! My favorite line is when Sigourney Weaver is talking about Jack proposing, and she's listening reasons, the last of which is: "I am, after all...Me. Gets me every time! :]

I don't know. Teen movies these day's suck. I suppose American Pie is to us what, hm, Star Wars or Sixteen Candles was to you. And when I think "great movie," American Pie doesn't come to mind. :laugh:

Many of my favourite films have an alarming tendency to be remade really really badly :mad:

When I was a teen, my favorite movies were of the French poetic-realist school: Renoir's "Les Bas-Fonds" & "Nana" & the Carné-Prévert "Le Jour Se Lève" & "Drôle de Drame." But as an adult, you must put away childish things, so I outgrew those films & moved on in my early 20s to the Technicolor Bavarian snickerdoodles of Powell & Pressburger: "The Tales of Hoffmann," "Black Narcissus" & "The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp." :mad:

Now in my rapidly advancing twilight, I prefer the tense, embalmed mise en scène of Douglas Sirk: "All That Heaven Allows," "Written on the Wind" & "Magnificent Obsession."
