Best Films You've Ever Seen

Let's think for a moment...

-Watchmen
-Monster's Inc.
-Stranger Than Fiction
-Runaways
-Funny People (Fun Fact! For five years, I went to the same kid's summer camp that Seth Rogen actually went to, which he also references in this movie; Machaneh (Camp) Miriam. However, he never was actually a madreich (counseller), like he says in the reference)
-21
-Goodfellas
-Coraline
-District 9
-Man on the Moon (My definite favorite movie)

I can't give a best/worst thing. I'm not good at rating things I all love. So, a list is in order.

-Harry Potter (3 onwards)
-PoTC (ALL)
-National Treasure (both)
- 9 (not "Nine", 9)
- Alice in Wonderland -Tim Burton
- Corpse Bride
- Another Cinderella Story (don't hate me!)
-Mulan (one and two, hehe)
-Aristocats
-Avatar (the graphics, my loves, the graphics.)

If you're into indie brit films, I watched a great film the other night called Disco Pigs.
It's set in Cork, Ireland and the accents are very heavy so you may need subtitles! It stars Cillian Murphy and his performance is remarkable (as always!)
I highly recommend you watch it or get the play, it has some beautiful dialogue, really hard-hitting!

Sporkpunk! I think you're my soulmate!
Mine - in no particular order - are:
Rocky Horror Picture Show (Gotta have my Trannies!)
The Princess Bride (There are no words for how much I love this movie)
Cat Balou (If you like music, Native Americans, con artists, revenge, fake noses, arch nemesises and drunk gunsligers - this is the movie for you.)
Moulin Rouge (The Nacaleptic Argintinian and Nini have ruined the Tango for me! No one compares to them!)
A Clockwork Orange (Yeah, its disturbing, but I can't help myself!)
Beauty and The Beast (I know its stupid but I really want a tattoo of Belle and Beast dancing. A Tale As Old As Time!!)
Tombstone (Oh yeah, I'll be your huckleberry. No question.)
Austin Powers
Pride and Predjudice (Keira Knightley version. I'm in love with her Darcy. "I love you, most ardently." ...sigh...)
Roman Holiday
Breakfast at Tiffany's (Where can I get a couch made out of a bathtub?)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (I love Gary Oldman with all my little heart.)
The Fifth Element (Again with Oldman.)
Grease (who doesn't love it, seriously?)
Lost Boys (I love me some vampires...and some Keifer Sutherland...)
Also any of the old disney cartoons (the classics, you know what I mean?), anything involving Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, musicals...oh, the list goes on.

And as for My Sister's Keeper. I have sworn never to watch that movie again! My mom made me watch it, even though I explained to her that I was all hormonal. I cried the WHOLE TIME! I don't usually cry while watching a movie unless I see that one of the characters is crying in a really heart-wrenching way (I'm looking at you, Moulin Rouge!!). I just couldnt help it!

So my movie list is like one of those "which one doesn't belong?" puzzles... Try and guess!
