A Favorite Movie

As stated earlier, my very favorite movie of all time is Steel Magnolias. It has several warm, funny, wonderful, witty women in it. My very favorite character is played by Shirley MacLaine. If you are ever watching this, invite me over, I love it!

Okay, so here are a few favorite movies besides my ultimate fav!

Favorite Disney Movie: Tarzan! This movie made me a total Phil Collins FAN-atic and the message of motherly love is wonderful. The music is fun and the characters are awesome. I love Tantor the elephant. The fact that this came out the summer I got pregnant with Erin might have something to do with my love affair. Will's bedroom is decorated with prints from this movie.

Favorite Romantic Comedy: When Harry Met Sally. I love this movie; and not for the reason you think. I love that the best friendships make the best marriages. Who among us cannot relate to all of the feelings shared between Harry and Sally?

Favorite Drama: The King's Speech.... the version with profanity. I am not always a fan of naughty words in movies, but this time it was actually central to the story. Such an awesome story of some rather obscure players in British history.

Favorite Comedy: Date Night! Tina Fey and Steve Carrell were so funny. My favorite was the Sexy Robot scene. I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself!

Favorite Dramedy: Parenthood. I love Steve Martin. His funny self, his serious self, and don't forget the banjo virtuoso. This movie makes me cry every time I see it. The grandma is my favorite. Love the roller coaster ride!

Favorite Musical: 1776. I love seeing the human side of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. I also love the portrayal of the relationship of John and Abigail Adams. Kind of a rare find, but you should watch it if you have any interest in American history.

Favorite Action: Not my forte. Can't really recall the last one I saw. Matt, if you remember, please feel free to comment.

I love movies... I love the escape.... and a large Diet Coke and popcorn don't hurt either.

I have to agree with 1776. It's the best way I've found to learn a little bit of history, although I'm pretty certain Ben Franklin wasn't singing to everyone while signing the Declaration of Independence. It's definitely a Homer thing. I don't know many other people who've heard of it, much less seen it. You'll have to remedy that :)
