I'm going to be your first participant!

LOTR: I read the books, then saw the movies on purpose. Liked the books a lot better, but that's not to say the movies were bad.

Harry Potter: Never got into it. Tried to watch the movies, tried to read the books, but I just can't feign interest. Sorry. Maybe you need to have kids before you get interested?

Thanks for joining in! I love to hear from my (10, including Mom) readers. As for our differences in movie taste...

To each their own, Jacki. I love all things magical, so it is natural for me to like these films. You have interests and talents elsewhere.

Okay, I'll bite!

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail- so many silly, quotable lines

2. The Big Lebowski- I catch more every time I watch it.

3. Raising Arizona

4. O Brother Where Art Thou (notice a Coen Brothers thing going here?)

5. Borat- yeah, a lot of it is adolescent locker room type humor, but it never fails to make me laugh out loud...which is a good thing!

6. The Princess Bride

7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

8. Field of Dreams

9. Dances with Wolves (okay, now I've got the Kevin Costner thing going...but most times I can't bear to watch the ending)

10. The Blues Brothers

bonus...if I still had a copy, "Say Anything". John Cusack is so lovable.

Woo Hoo!

Deb, I totally forgot Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2K! Man, keeping it to 10 messes me up every time.

You know, DH LOVES O Brother Where Art Thou and I have never seen it. I gotta sit down and watch that one.

My favorite all time movie is The Princess Bride. In fact, when I received my Orders to Germany, the first phrase I learned was "Any body want a peanut?"

Kati-

AAAHHH, Last of the Mohicans! Daniel Day Lewis at his hottest. That movie was so fabulous. And the soundtrack just as great!

Wendy-

I can just see you...wanting to ask for the bathroom, and all you know is your favorite line from your favorite movie.

At least you have your priorities in order! LOL
