While lounging by the pool today, while the kiddies splashed away, I read the issue of World Magazine that arrived in our mailbox this morning.
Hey that almost sounds poetic...in fact, with a few tweaks...
While lounging by the pool today,
As the kiddies splashed away,
I read World Magazine that came,
to our mailbox in the rain...
...okay, so it wasn't raining, but I couldn't make it rhyme without using rain.
Anywho, one of their articles involved asking various "famous" Christians what their favorite books and movies were. They could name up to five of each AND no explanations were needed. Just list the top five.
So, I am picking the topic of movies today (we will do books another time) and am asking you, my vast blogship (meaning blog readership) to share your top five favorite movies.
Here are mine in no specific order. These are the movies that I could watch and enjoy at just about anytime in any mood.
1. Casablanca
2. Back to the Future Trilogy (I snuck in 3 with this one!)
3. Groundhog Day
4. While You Were Sleeping
5. You've Got Mail
Now, it's your turn. What are you're top 5?

This is tough...

You know I love movies - but those are 5 that I can watch over & over again without getting sick of them.
Well, these aren't necessarily the all-time greatest films, but they are the ones I could watch (and HAVe watched) over and over again (sorry, couldn't keep it to 5; it's basically a 7 way tie :)):
-While You Were Sleeping
-You've Got Mail
-Kate & Leopold
-Back to the Future
-Ferris Bueller
-My Big Fat Greek Wedding
-The Office (oh wait, that's not a movie. Well, we do watch it over and over and over again :)).
1. Star Wars (both triliogies)
2. Indiana Jones triliogy
3. Back to the Future triliogy
4. Simpsons (all seasons)
5. Futurama (all seasons)
Which is cheating a bit.
And now Aaron weighs in:
1. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
2. Star Wars(original trilogy)
3. Micheal Collins
4. Waking Ned Devine
5. Forest Warrior/Ben Hur(tie)
Thanks for the movie opinions. Keep them coming.
I forgot Greek Wedding, and I forgot Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe, and I forgot Temple of Doom. And, I most definitely forgot Waking Ned Divine...what a funny movie! Now I may have to revise my list...or just ask people for their top 25!
Oh, I forgot about Waking Ned Devine!
And that could take the question in a slightly new direction—top 5 small, quirky, odd, "off-Broadway" movies?
1. Harold and Maude
2. M.P./Holy Grail
3. Waking Ned Devine
4. Spitfire Grill (not quirky)
5. Napoleon Dynamite
Mine are a little "outside the box" (this box, anyway, it seems):
The Emperor's New Groove
Anne of Green Gables (both)
Singin' in the Rain
What About Bob?
Princess Bride
