Um, okay.
We're obviously seeing different things.. but that's cool.
I love a lot of movies that are sincerely sucky, so I really shouldn't talk.
I just embrace their bad-ness.

Darn, this is so hard, but I've been thinking on it some. Who would think it would be tough to find only 25 favorites! I have way more favorite movies than I can count, apparently.
Okay, so here's my list ( at least this week ) and you'll notice some stinkers here and I will completely own that. These are my favorite movies and that doesn't necessarily mean they're good movies!

1. To Kill A Mockingbird
2. Godfather II
3. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
4. Almost Famous
5. V for Vendetta
6. Singin' In The Rain
7. Gone With The Wind
8. Footloose
9. Hunt For Red October
10. Juno
11. Wild In The Streets
12. Princess Bride
13. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
14. RENT
15. T2: Judegement Day
16. Aliens
17. Ghost World
18. Pi
19. Bound
20. Brokeback Mountain
21. Goonies
22. The Philadelphia Story
23. The Station Agent
24. Billy Elliot
25. Velvet Goldmine
( I've got so many "honorable mentions" that I could take up a whole page )
