whats your favorite movie and why? Mine is the Twilight Saga. I am a big Jacob fan! In the books he is the perfect boyfriend. And I

love the fact that he is native American as well .

I have read all the books, and I think the books are better than the movie. But hey ya can't complain.

    Gladiator- Awesome action scenes, good vs. evil... all that stuff. Love Braveheart for same reasons, too.

    Honorable mentions: Star Wars and Lord of the Rings series movies.

    Willow because it has big people, little people, and trolls. Just like MFP!

    Mean Girls. Why? Because it's hysterical and the only movie I can watch over and over and not get tired of.

    I have a ton of favorites. Today though it's Pride and Prejudice (the one with Keira Knightley). I don't know why other than because it has Mr. Darcy and it's awesome!

    I have a ton but Apocalypse Now is my favorite favorite. I love everything about that movie - the cinematography, the acting, the music and the story.

    Dirty Dancing and Footloose will forever hold their place as my favorite movies. Why? Well there is dancing and that's all I need. Save the last dance would be my next on the list.

    Pulp Fiction. Brilliant filmmaking and so innovative.

    I'll also give the honorable mention to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Kill Bill films.

    Probably Fight Club

    Because I don't really have an ultimate favourite movie but Fight club is always up there in the top 5 at any given time. Brilliant adaptation of a brilliant book with brilliant performances and direction. Did I mention brilliant???

    Cant pick just one...

    -pirates of the caribbean, cause I just loooo ve Johnny as Jack
    -what lies beneath , cause I think the story is great, good mystery movie plus Harrison Ford is another of my fav actors.
    -fools rush in, the story of the latina girl/white boy is my story.
    -titanic , cause it was filmed really close to where I live and some of my friends/relatives were extra in the movie.
    -the proposal, hilarius!!!

    etc

    Really hard to pick just one, I just can't lol! ;) So I'm just going to generalize :) I love all the chick flicks or romantic comedies or english classics :)

    Oh that's hard but I would have to go with Fearless (the Jet Li movie). Just has everything in a movie that you could possibly want. Emotionally moving with lots of action.

    I have two films I love that are on equal par with each other - despite being totally different films

    Rocky Horror Picture Show and Labyrinth

    Why? Because I love musicals and RHPS is the best, plus Labyrinth is a musical, plus I love fantasy and I love the comedy of Labyrinth and David Bowie!
