Movies!

I have no life. Or TV programming. I'm not sure if one begat the other or not, but that's not where I'm going here. Because of a combination of the 2, I watch a lot of movies.

 

I have 3 favorites (I know it's against the rules- I tell my kids all the time that "favorite" means "only ONE that you like better than the others")

1. Kung Fu Hustle
2. V For Vendetta
3. Leon The Professional

I hate movies that are put on a pedestal as the best movie in the entire universe that has ever been and ever will be made. I won't watch (most of) them for that reason.

My favorite actor is Simon Pegg. I can't stand lots, but Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are at the top of the list.

So, what's your favorite movies? Actors? Do you avoid a certain type of movie or watch them all?

It's difficult...I have my musicals I love, my stupid comedies, and then movies I just all out love.  As a general rule, I'm pretty shallow about movies...I normally don't have the patience for a sad/inspirational movie...intense ones are only good if I'm in the mood for it, and I'm terrified of both blood and vomit, so horror movies are completely out of the question...of course, there are always exceptions.

• Anything Disney, but especially Hercules
• Superbad
• Anchorman
• Sweeney Todd 
• Moulin Rouge
• Edward Scissorhands
• Fight Club
• Slumdog Millionaire
• Spirited Away

And I'm watching the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice with my friend right now...had to stop halfway through so I could do homework...but so far I'm thinking it will join the list.

Can't believe no one mentioned:

Blazing Saddles(Mel Brooks)

Young FRankenstein(Mel Brooks version)

2001 Space Odyssey

Wizard of Oz
