top ten movies of all time

Some people enjoy going out to dinner.  Some people enjoy playing cards.  Some people enjoy candle-making.  I enjoy watching movies.  I could watch one every day if us humans could do whatever we wanted.  There have been days in my life where all I have done is watched movies.  I particularly like going to the theater.  Here are my top ten movies of all time.

PS - I know I'm forgetting a really important one, but this list was done on a whim, without much effort.  Digging through DVD's just isn't appealing when a one-year-old is up in your grill.

#10 - Man in the Iron Mask

Leo.  Long hair.  He is a twin in this movie so take your pick:  the good, sweet and caring Leo?  Or the conceited, cruel and hurtful Leo?  I would like a mix, please.

#9 - Father of the Bride

I haven't watched this since my engagement days, mainly because I think I'm to a burn-out point.  I watched this every weekend for like eight years when I was a little girl.

#8 - The Amazing Spiderman

It was no joke when I said this movie jumped up to my top ten.  In fact, I have my high school biology class watching it right now.  Intro to genetics, people.

#7 - Breaking Dawn:  Part 1

Being the Twihard that I am, I have to say I am really into Part 1.  The wedding, the honeymoon, it's all really romantic.  Not to mention the soundtrack is amazeballs.

#6 - New Moon

My fave of the Twilight Saga is New Moon.  It's mysterious, depressing, and really frikking wolfy.

#5 - The Hunger Games

Even without seeing the rest of these movies that have yet to release in theaters, I can easily say I like this trilogy better than Twilight.  Or maybe we're all just sick of Twilight??  I've read all three books and I'm ready to start over and read them again.  The worst part of it all, though, is that Catching Fire isn't out until November!  Boo!

#4 - Ever After

This is one of those movies that just puts me at peace.  I know every single line and yet I can watch it over and over without ever boring of it.  Whether it's when I don't feel good or when I just can't find another DVD to put on, it's always a winner.  There is something very sobering in the idea of a prince falling in love with a woman with some actual personality and spirit.

#3 - The Phantom of the Opera

By george this movie is phenomenal.  Another one that just stunned me when I saw it in the theater.  I love Emma Rossum and I really love Gerard Butler.  He is the most pitiful phantom - breaks my heart watching him.  Regardless of the way the story is written, I always find myself wishing she would just sing the damn "music of the night" with the phantom forever.

#2 - Pride and Prejudice

Okay, wow.  Have you read the book?  The movie is just as good.  I love these period movies, where the love is soooooooo...deep?  Without even kissing or touching, these two have got it going on!  Mr. Darcy's words would make any girl melt to the core. 

"I never wish to be parted from you from this day on." 

And the end?!  Oh my goodness! 

Elizabeth:  You can only call me Mrs. Darcy when you are completely, perfectly and incandescently happy.

Mr. Darcy:  And how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy?  Mrs. Darcy...Mrs. Darcy...Mrs. Darcy... ::kissing kissing kissing:: 

#1 - The Count of Monte Cristo

This is my favorite move of all time.  I tried reading the book a few years ago and just couldn't push through.  But the movie?  Cripes it's amazing.  The perfect combination of all things romance, action, and drama!

Favorite Christmas movie:  Miracle on 34th Street  (the good one, with Dylan McDermott)

Favorite Disney movie:  Beauty and the Beast

Favorite stupid-funny movie:  Billy Madison or Anchorman

I love all the Harry Potters and despise all of the Lord of the Rings.

Worst movie of all time:  Click  (I fell asleep in the theater and then walked out)

Hottest Disney character:  Hercules.  Hands down.
