I've seen 29 of the movies that IMDB lists as the Top 100. Here’s what I want to know – how come the stupid Star War movies are on here and there isn’t a single Star Trek movie? Hmm? What the heck is that? Stupid George Lucas.

Beth added the following, by picking her Top 50 Favorite Movies. As she put it in her own words “These may not all be the classics or fit every taste; they are the movies that I either felt left an impression on me (like Schindler's List, would I want to watch it every day? No. But did I think really hard during and after the movie? Yes. Do I feel like it was worth the emotions? Yes.) Or just made me feel good and I could watch over and over again. Sometimes the movies on my list are just ones that I felt pushed the boundaries of the silver screen. I do not, unfortunately, have enough energy to link to all the movies. If you want to know more about them, ask in the comments or check them out on IMDB. If you have a question about why I picked a certain movie, ask me. I don't mind.”

I, however, don’t care if they had a great meaning or pushed boundaries. These are just my favorite movies, ones that I can watch over and over. Which is weird that Hitchhiker’s is on here since I’ve only seen it once. But I just know I will see it a lot. They are not in any particular order.

1. The Imposters
2. So I Married An Axe Murderer
3. Torch Song Trilogy
4. About a Boy
5. The Ref
6. Operation Petticoat
7. The Dirty Dozen
8. With Six, You Get Eggroll
9. Yours, Mine and Ours
10. Singin’ In The Rain
11. Independence Day
12. The Princess Bride
13. Love, Actually
14. In & Out
15. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
16. Sleeping Beauty
17. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
18. Midnight Lace
19. Hitch
20. Johnny English
21. Big Trouble
22. Undercover Blues (mainly because of Stanley Tucci)
23. My Cousin Vinny
24. Chocolat
25. Never Been Kissed
26. Married to the Mob
27. A Time to Kill (also my favorite novel by John Grisham)
28. Dangerous Beauty
29. The Truman Show
30. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe
31. Enemy of the State
32. I, Robot (did I mention I have a thing for Will Smith?)
33. The Italian Job (the remake)
34. Ocean’s 11 (remake)
35. Ella Enchanted
36. Bend It Like Beckham
37. Pirates of the Caribbean
38. Star Trek: Generations
39. Phenomenon
40. Conspiracy Theory
41. The Mummy

44. Get Shorty
45. Die Hard
46. True Lies
47. The 5th Element
48. The Rock

If you haven’t guessed, I like comedy and action movies. In fact, I often judge how good a movie is by how many car chases or explosions there are.
Are any of my favorites on your list?
