As Sam Ewing once said, "There's no thief like a bad movie." Fortunately, there are some that I've been glad to spend time on.

[ Adventures in Babysitting ]
I really liked the entire movie, but my favorite scene is where they have to sing the blues before they can leave a nightclub.

[ Austin Powers series ]
I hope you don't lose respect for me, but I have a little crush on Austin . . .

[ Back to the Future series ]
Michael J. Fox: need I say more?

[ Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure ]
I remember the first time I saw this movie, I was in high school hanging out with some friends. When it was available, I just had to buy it. I think this is the movie that I've watched the most often. I can only explain it by saying that it really amuses me.

[ Bridget Jones' Diary ]
In the words of my cousin: "This is a movie made for 30-something, single women."

[ Broken Arrow ]
John Travolta makes quite a convincing villain.

[ Cast Away ]
Very Interesting.

[ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ]
I really enjoy action scenes with "kung-fu fighting." Plus: girl power!

[ Dangerous Liaisons ]
Simply Breathtaking.

[ Die Hard Series ]
Bruce Willis was made for action flicks.

[ Dirty Dancing ]
It's refreshing to see an average looking girl get the cool, sexy guy.

[ Double Jeopardy ]
Tommy Lee Jones is always excellent.

[ The Fifth Element ]
I saw this after I read (the late) Gene Siskel's review: he raved that it was much better than your average sci-fi flick. I absolutely agree.

[ The Fugitive ]
A friend recommended this one: I can't thank her enough!

[ The Goonies ]
Kids on a mission: very cute!

[ Grease ]
Call me corny, but I liked the singing and dancing. (I often went around singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You" in honor of my crushes.)

[ Groundhog Day ]
Very interesting concept: I'm not quite sure I fully "got" it.

[ Home Alone ]
This movie illustrates why an old curse says: "may you get everything you wish for."

[ Jurassic Park Series ]
I liked the first one the best, but they're all good.

[ Legends of the Fall ]
In one scene, the narrator talks about "the bear inside" one of the characters - Tristan - being asleep: by that he meant that Tristan was content or at peace. Can anyone else relate to feeling as if the bear inside is not sleeping? I can. I thought that was a very good piece of writing.

[ Lethal Weapon Series ]
Let me assure you that my feelings for these movies are in no way influenced by the presence of Mel Gibson. Okay, maybe they are a little...

[ Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring ]
This one has the honor of being the first movie I paid my own money to see at the theatre twice. The acting, the scenery: it was all breath-taking!

[ The Mask ]
This one really amused me. Yes, I am partial to Jim Carrey.

[ The Matrix ]
I thought I knew all there was to know about this movie from the commercials, but it really surprised me! Yet, although I had declared that I'd see the sequels in the theatre, I have yet to see them at all.

[ Men in Black ]
How can a movie go wrong with both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones?

[ The Mexican ]
I haven't seen this in a while, and I can't remember - or maybe I never knew - why this movie has this title. :shrug: At least Brad looked good.

[ Moulin Rouge ]
Love, Truth, Beauty ... and all that other good stuff.

[ Mrs. Doubtfire ]
Classic Robin Williams. (Fave line: "It was a drive-by fruiting.")

[ Much Ado About Nothing ]
Did he really believe that she died of humiliation?

[ Multiplicity ]
This was recommended by one of my exes. Apparently even a thoughtless creep knows a quality flick.

[ The Mummy series ]
I'm not a fan of horror by any means, but I ventured to watch this one at the recommendation of my friend Michele. I found it *way* more funny than scary.

[ Oceans 11 ]
I appreciated that the criminals were using their brains to plan the robbery and not just going in and shooting everyone.

[ Oscar ]
I saw this one many years ago, but I remember that I enjoyed it tremendously. Sylvester Stallone does a great job with the comedy, and Tim Curry is hilarious.

[ Parenthood ]
This is another one that I've seen way too many times. From it, I gather that families have their ups and downs. Who knew?

[ Picture Perfect ]
As a single gal, I can relate to this one.

[ Pirates of the Caribbean series ]
Giving new definition to the meaning of the word "blockbuster."

[ Pretty Woman ]
Who doesn't want the fairy tale?

[ The Princess Bride ]
You'd be surprised how easy it is to work quotes from this movie into one's everyday life.

[ Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves ]
I've only seen this once - and years ago, at that - but it made quite an impression. I can still recall multiple scenes.

[ Romancing the Stone ]
Turner and Douglas at their finest.

[ Sabrina (Old and New Versions) ]
I saw the new version first, so I'm a little more partial to it. (Yeah, I know. The other is a "classic." Forgive me?)

[ Shakespeare in Love ]
A review I read said it best: "Love can inspire, even when it's lost."

[ Speed ]
Very often as I'm driving, when I'm trying to decide which turn to take, I'll ask myself, "Stay on or get off? STAY ON OR GET OFF??" Thank you, Sandra Bullock.

[ Spiderman series ]
I saw the second one first, and I'm *so* glad about that.

[ Star Wars Series ]
What else is there to say?

[ Thelma & Louise ]
Lesson learned: be very cautious of flirty strangers at bars.

[ The Three Musketeers ]
All for one, and one for ... my collection!

[ Time Cop ]
Watch for the scene where Jean Claude does the splits to get off the floor.

[ The Truman Show ]
Very clever concept. The original "reality" show.

[ What's Love Got to Do With It? ]
A good question and an excellent movie.

[ While You Were Sleeping ]
Be careful who you say you're going to marry.

[ Willow ]
I can't remember much about this one, but I'm sure I liked it...

[ Working Girl ]
"Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will." That's true, but then again, do you *really* want to be Madonna?

[ X-men series ]
Although I tend to like comic book movies (um, okay, Spiderman) I had no interest in seeing this one. Then I saw the third one - and LOVED it! I had to watch the first two. I was mesmerized by the scene in the first one where Rogue sees Logan for the first time: he's shirtless and fighting in a cage. *squeal of delight*
