Favorite Movie

Okay, so I was watching FRIENDS last night and it was the one where they were playing trivia for the apartment and the question about Rachel's favorite movie came up. So let me ask you...

What is the movie you tell everyone is your favorite movie and what is your ACTUAL favorite movie? I'll start. I tell everyone my favorite film is REAR WINDOW when it is actually ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

The Lord of the Rings trilogy , please don't ask me to pick just one
American Beauty
The Sound of Music

On a side note, I'm of the opinion that Groundhog Day is one of the most underappreciated comedic gems of all time. Go watch it again.

for halloween I'd have to say the original version of The Haunting, based on a book by Shirley Jackson. I have two others that I always watch with such emotion - Enchanted April and The Spitfire Grill...both really lovely stories of the human experience.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I start telling people that American Beauty or Color Purple or Maurice or Longtime Companion are my favorites.

But I usually break down and tell them the truth (which isn't so shameful): 9 to 5.

Bring it On!
Drop Dead Gorgeous

VERY good, M_E.

And RobbieJ, is there anything funnier than Alison Janey in the trailer: "Oh, SH*T. Are we on cops again?"

I'd say "Swingers" as my favourite movie.

And yet,if "Bring It On" is showing at the same time, I'd rather watch that...
