Top Ten Movie Blogfest!

Major props go to Alex J. Cavanaugh for hosting yet another epic blogfest! It's time for the



Here's my picks-

10.  Ocean's 11 - George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt. Very Clever and lots of eye candy.

 9. National Treasure - the tension is amazing. I'm still on the edge of my seat when I watch this. 



8. A Walk to Remember - This was my first experience with Nicolas Sparks and it stuck with me for a long time. I still listen to the soundtrack.









7. Never Been Kissed - I love Romances. I love Micheal Vartan. Nuff Said.







 


6. Austenland - I did a review of this one here. I plan on seeing it as soon as it comes out in theaters and I WILL own a copy for my home





 
5. Pride and Prejudice - I've spent many a sick day in bed watching all six hours. Love me some Darcy.









4. Spider-man - This is the only movie that I've seen more than three times in a theater. I had a huge crush on Tobey Maguire in High School. And duh, Spider-man!









3. The Princess Bride - The most quoteable movie on the planet earth. The genius of the writing is bar none.









2. The Lake House - A mailbox that sends letters through time? I  really need to get me one of those. 










1. Hitch - I don't what it is about this movie. Maybe it's one part Will Smith and one part Kevin James mixed with a whole lot of romantic and funny. Still my favorite movie of all time.

Ocean's Eleven is very clever. I think it's probably my favorite heist film, and I love a good heist film.

And how can anyone not love The Princess Bride?

The Princess Bride just missed my top ten. Yes, the whole film is quotable.
Thanks for participating in my blogfest!

Inconceivable!

Okay, I love the princess bride. I don't think I could narrow down my top ten movies if I had to. I certainly couldn't put them in order.

Hitch is such a cute movie! And I agree - Princess Bride is THE most quotable movie ever. :)

ah, finally, a list that doesn't overlap mine at all. In fact, I've only seen a couple of these. Having noted that a couple have appeared on multiple lists today, I'll have to check them out now.

I've seen and loved evry single one of these. Did you see the 2005 pride and Prejudice? I like it best because is more truthful to the book!

THE VARTAN!! How could I forget him and Never Been Kissed? LOVE Drew and Vartan in it! Want to rewatch it now.

I STILL haven't seen the end of A Walk to Remember even though I've seen every other part a gajillion times. I think I need to have a date with Netflix tonight... And watch your entire list=)

Hitch is on of those movies I can watch a thousand times. It's such a clever movie. Great list.

I LOVE Hitch! Love the scene where Hitch is trying to teach Albert how (not) to dance.

I haven't seen all of these but the ones I have are great.

Krista McLaughlin said…
I love your list! Those are some great movies! Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth is definitely worth watching 6 hours. I forgot to add the Princess Bride - inconceivable!
March 18, 2013 at 7:35 PM
Trisha said…
Love me some Darcy too - glad you chose the Colin Firth version. :) Love the Princess Bride too, and Sandra Bullock movies.

Great pics. The Princess Bride is the best. Also, I LOVE Hitch, now I'm itching to see it again.

I watched the Lakehouse, but it was over my head. And glad to know someone is as excited about Austenland as I am.

I've only seen #7 and #4 on your list. I've heard of most of the rest of them, but I just don't see very many modern movies.

This is an awesome list, although I could never get through any of the Oceans movies without falling asleep. Maybe casino robbery just isn't my thing?

ALL of these put a smile on my face. what a list...I love them all - well I plan to LOVE Austenland..

Austenland is going to be a movie? Yay! Glad I crawled out from under my rock for this news, hehe.

Ok, even as a guy I admit I do like that Jane Austen one...Pride and Prejudice is hard to resist:)

Great choices. I love Never Been Kissed too, but I was surprised to see it here. Most people don't know it--at least not as much as the other Drew Barrymore movies. And yes to Michael Vartan!

so what's like one of the fewest movies with a hot and handsome cast...yeah, you guessed it...oceans 11!!!

Aww! These are great movies! I'm seeing Princess Bride a lot! I'm sad because I love that movie and didn't even think about it.

"Inconceivable!"

Princess Bride, Pride and Prejudice and Spider-Man. Awesome movies. I watch Pride and Prejudice when I'm sick too.

I don't really like comedies of any sort but I can admit that "Never Been Kissed" was kind of cute.

Considering your tastes, you should watch Lost in Austen -- a successful combination of science fiction and Jane Austen. It's three hours long, and you have to be up on your Pride and Prejudice to follow it, but it's worthwhile.

The Noveling Journey

Image
cr: Diter Laskowski This past weekend I spent 10+ hours in a minivan with four small children. One of those children is only eighteen months old. On top of being squirmy, said child had started antibiotics for an ear infection only the day before. He can also scream very loud. As one must do with such an experience, I tried to find the positive. It was either that or breakdown and sob which wouldn't do anyone good. What I came to realize in the anxiety to and from my destination, was that I had been going about noveling all wrong. And trust me, it wasn't a negative thought. One thing I know about road trips is that if I want to get somewhere, I have to keep going. Stopping at Buc-ee's is really fun. It's great to stretch my legs and buy myself some beaver nuggets, but it's not going to get me anywhere. The longer I hang out at Buc-ee's, the later I'll show up. Writing is the same. Not for everyone, but for me it is. Social media is great. I actua...
