Sunday Confessions May 15, 2011

By -

This is a weekly meme started by yours truly as a way to get to share a bit about myself and also learning more about you. Sometimes its about books and book related topics and sometimes it's not. This is all in good fun and I would love it if you would participate.

Yesterday I introduced my daughter to the movie, The Princess Bride. I absolutely loved The Princess Bride when growing up and I couldn't wait for her to be old enough to watch it.  I would go as far as saying The Princess Bride is in my top ten favorite movies of all time. A few years ago I read the book for the first time too. I thoroughly enjoyed the book as well. If you've not watched this movie, you should! So this week's question is:

What's one of your top ten movies of all time?

*If you answer this question on your own blog, leave a link in the comments so I can come visit.

    I would have to say... "Made In Heaven". Princess Bride ranks right up there as well, but Made In Heaven is a movie that has really stuck with me since my first time watching it. :D

    I can't just give one. I have to give a few.

    Gone with the Wind
    Little Women
    The Sound of Music
    The Princess Bride
    Meet me in St. Louis

    I really those. I watched them for the first time when I was much younger and I watched them over and over again.

    Hey Marcie - happy sunday. So glad your daughter enjoyed The Princess Bride. As I mentioned on twitter, my Stepfather brought it home one day, I was about how old Fred was in the film, and he made me watch it. I was reluctant, just like Fred in the film. But after watching it - I was totally in love. I actually did an audio recording of the film and played it on a looping tape all night long so I could learn all the words!

    Anyway - great topic about films. Here are my top ten:
    1. Mulholland Drive
    2. The Shawshank Redemption
    3. Blade Runner
    4. Metropolis (1927)
    5. 2001: A Space Odyssey
    6. Sunset Blvd
    7. Pulp Fiction
    8. Casablanca
    9. Brazil
    10. The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1919)

    Cheers,

    Jason

    @Caledonia Lass, I don't think I've seen Made in Heaven. I'll have to check it out.
    @Alexis, All great movies. I love them all!
    @Kelsey, Wizard of Oz is a great movie. We used to watch in once a year too. I used to be so scared of the Wicked Witch.
    @evilgenius333, I've not seen all the movies on your list yet. You have quite a few classics that I love though. You can't go wrong with those movies.
    @The Book Girl, I love "To Kill A Mockingbird" It's been such a long time since I've watched that movie.
    @Ketch, You're adventuresome spirit shows through your movie choices. Lots of great movies! I love anything muppet :D

    Sonny and Zakiya, I'm about to hop on over to your blogs. Can't wait to see what your favorites are.
