Today, Jamie and Shannon ask us about our favorite movies. (Or our “favourite” movies. You Canadians. 😀 ) At first I thought, “I don’t have any.” Then I read a bunch of other people’s lists and realized I have a ton. So here they are in categories!
Classics: Cary Grant, especially The Philadelphia Story, The Bishop’s Wife, and Charade; Bing Crosby, especially Holiday Inn and White Christmas; Doris Day, especially Pillow Talk
Book Movies: Harry Potter and Jane Austen adaptations
Johnny Depp movies: Finding Neverland, Secret Window, Benny and Joon, Dead Man
Movies about people who go to another country and find themselves: Shirley Valentine, Enchanted April, Midnight in Paris, Sabrina
Movies that are nominally romantic comedies but whose highlight is the supporting cast playing older members of specific ethnic groups: Moonstruck, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Return to Me
Movies that break the mold or are their own mold: Hudsucker Proxy, O Brother Where Art Thou, Best in Show, Grosse Point Blank, Being John Malkovich, Harold and Maude
Movies about the meaning of life: The Legend of Baggar Vance, I Heart Huckabees, Les Miserables, and they tell me I should see The Matrix
Comedies of Errors: The Ideal Husband, The Importance of Being Earnest
And two more: Eve’s Christmas and the original Star Wars trilogy
