Thursday Thirteen 04/27

Thirteen of Cat Lady's FAVORITE Movies


We have about 90 DVDs and a few hundred VHS movies... I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do like to watch a movie once in a while. My husband definitely watches more than I do, but I do have the ones I watch over and over again. There are more than 13 for sure, but here are 13 worth noting...

1…A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. - Ok... odd that this is at #1, but I love this movie! It is one of those that gives warm fuzzies every time you watch it. I took it to the delivery room to watch while having Boo and Punkin. I watch it when I'm feeling down and it always gives me a pick-me-up. It's great... and not just for Thanksgiving time.
2... While You Were Sleeping - I can probably recite this movie. Great feel good chick-flick, although my husband loves it as much as I do.
3... The Last of the Dogmen - If you have never seen this movie... WATCH IT!! Fabulous scenery, great story line, well acted... I love it.
4... The Last Starfighter - Old and cheesy, I still love it.
5... The Last of the Mohicans - Another great movie with fabulous scenery. I also love the soundtrack.
6... My Big Fat Greek Wedding - Windex anyone??
7... So I Married An Axe Murderer - Always good for a laugh. "We have a piper DOWN!!"
8... Bed of Roses - Christian Slater is great in this movie.
9... Young Frankenstien - You can't go wrong with Gene Wilder, this movie is hysterically funny.
10. Back to the Future - How can you NOT like this trilogy??
11. Only You - I love Robert Downy Jr., but this is a great story, too.
12. Galaxy Quest - Funny
13. Star Wars - I love the 4-5-6 trilogy better than then the newer 1-2-3. I remember waiting so impatiently to find out what happened to Han Solo. I still enjoy watching these.

While You Were Sleeping is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies...

Happy Thursday, my TT is up as well! :)

Laura said...

my TT includes a mention about our latest dvd acquisition as part as our youngest #9 surgery adventure

I like most of those as well. If you liked While You Were Sleeping, you might like Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon and that guy I can never remember's name. He looks similar to Peter Gallagher, from While.

Oh, and my T13 is up.

I really enjoy reading people's movie lists - I like to compare them to my DVD collection and see how many we have in common. We share 11 of the 13 which isn't bad going, eh?

Happy Thursday Thirteen

Ooh, I love While You Were Sleeping. Really feel-good movie. I love the chemistry between Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock in that movie. Also liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
And I agree - Back to the Future trilogy is great. I got it on VHS for free.
Thanks for sharing!

Great minds think alike. :) (see my list)

I love While You Were Sleeping! And in Galaxy Quest, where Sigorney Weaver can't curse because it was bleeped out in the tv show, and the aliens kept EVERYTHING just like the show! Funny stuff

I keep meaning to do one of these posts... but then I think, "Do I want the internet to know how bad my taste is?" :-)
