Moulin Rouge was visually so lush. I'll throw one out and this will show what a great thinker I am. And this is for anyone who's had a dog, especially a Jack Russell terrier......MY DOG SKIP. A beautiful movie about a boy and his dog.

I was embarrassed to write that but tears flowed at the end. I had a wonderful JR.....only thing I could think about was him.

Have you seen Hachi: A Dog's Tale ? Based on a true story. It warms the heart and brings tears to the eyes.

ETA: If the plot weren't so convoluted, The Big Sleep would be on the list. It's a feature, not a bug; I understand the book is equally convoluted and that Chandler himself found it confusing(!)

My favorite movie of all time is Ken Russel's "Women in Love, " w/ Oliver Reed, Alan Bates, Glenda Jackson, Jennie Linden, 1969. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it.

Thanks! Reminded me that one of my favorites is Russell's 'The Devils,' based on Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudon.

"Pay it Forward" The ending causes most people to cry tears of joy.

Daddy supports the idea and tries to implement it each day.

 

Seeing as this is the second thread I've posted in as many minutes, clearly I'm in need of mental stimulation. I blame not being able to attend today's festivities.

 

Anyway, I'm asking for your favorite movie(s). Mine is Akira Kurosawa's 1954 movie Seven Samurai, of which The Magnificent Seven is an adaptation. It has been since I saw it as a teenager.

Have been meaning to watch this for YEARS! Thanks for the reminder!

The Ref with Dennis Leary and Kevin Spacey is an every year classic around the holidays that reminds me of my own crazy, dysfunctional, yet loving family and I still laugh so hard I practically pee my pants.

Hannah and her Sisters, which I watched with my father and grandmother as a small child.
