Gone With the Wind (1939,  G)
Gone With the Wind
You just can't get any better than this.
2
It's a Wonderful Life (1946,  Unrated)
It's a Wonderful Life
A Christmas staple in my house and simply one of the best movies ever made.
3
Withnail and I (1987,  R)
Withnail and I
If you've ever been out of work or out of your mind, you'll adore this film. Otherwise, its subtler qualities may be lost on you. A classic.
4
Bedazzled (1967,  PG)
Bedazzled
That this film was remade proves that there are insane people in this world. You simply can't get any better than the brilliant Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Definitely their finest film work together.
5
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975,  PG)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
'Tis a silly film.
6
Help! (1965,  G)
Help!
This should be a part of everyone's movie collection. It's such fun nonsense - how can you not love it?
7
Arthur (1981,  PG)
Arthur
Such a sweet movie, with the incomparable Dudley Moore and some of the most quotable lines ever.
8
Forrest Gump (1994,  PG-13)
Forrest Gump
I'm always a weeping wreck by the end. A touching film with an excellent soundtrack!
9
50 First Dates (2004,  PG-13)
50 First Dates
You kinda have to suspend your disbelief where the memory thing is concerned, and it may be too treacly for some, but this film has so much heart.
10
Clue (1985,  PG)
Clue
Such a fantastic cast! A funny little film and one you'll find yourself quoting!
11
Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979,  R)
Monty Python's Life of Brian
A clever, witty film that's right up there with The Holy Grail.
12
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) (2001,  PG)
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)
A nice adaptation and great family movie. Still my favorite of the HP movies - nothing will ever top the excitement of the release of this in theaters back in the day!
13
Independence Day (1996,  PG-13)
Independence Day
Craptastic fun.
14
Scarlett (,  PG-13)
Scarlett
You shouldn't go into watching this expecting to see GWTW all over again - we all know that nothing can ever compare to it. And whether or not you think a sequel should have ever been written, by another author no less, it's wonderful to see the characters back at their old tricks. A pretty film with a great cast.
15
Young Frankenstein (1974,  PG)
Young Frankenstein
So very quotable and hugely enjoyable.
16
Secret Window (2004,  PG-13)
Secret Window
A cool movie that has lots of surprises when you first see it, and it's fun to pick out clues that you may have missed when you watch it again.
17
The Jerk (1979,  R)
The Jerk
Steve Martin plays stupid so well. Lots of laughs to be had in this film!
18
Jurassic Park (1993,  PG-13)
Jurassic Park
Lots of fun and draws you in right from the beginning.
19
Labyrinth (1986,  PG)
Labyrinth
It's got great tunes, great Henson creatures, and David Bowie. What more could you want?
20
Blow (2001,  R)
Blow
A surprisingly moving movie - I end up a little sniffly by the end.
21
Doctor Who (1996,  Unrated)
Doctor Who
It's a lovely taste of what could have been - McGann would have been an excellent Doctor on TV if that had panned out. Not at all comparable to the classic series, and there are a few big missteps (half-human?!), but cool to see all the same.
22
Sense and Sensibility (1995,  PG)
Sense and Sensibility
A lovely adaptation!
23
Jaws (1975,  PG)
Jaws
Just *try* to get in the ocean after watching this - just not possible!
24
Back to the Future (1985,  PG)
Back to the Future
Entertaining and lots of fun!
25

I'm not usually into action movies, but this is gripping and engaging right from the start.
26
Men in Black (1997,  PG-13)

Man, this was HUGE way back when. Still love that theme song!

A nice adaptation of my favorite book from the series.

Clever and satirical, a rare film in this day and age.
29
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001,  R)

I think everyone can find something in this film to identify with. Very funny!
30
Mr. Deeds (2002,  PG-13)
Mr. Deeds
A sweet film with a good cast.
31
Napoleon Dynamite (2004,  PG)
Napoleon Dynamite
Very dry humor that might not make everyone laugh, but it sure does crack me up!
32
Office Space (1999,  R)
Office Space
A cult classic that should really be more mainstream than it is!
33
A Hard Day's Night (1964,  G)
A Hard Day's Night
The Beatles' first film outing - a classic!
34
Blackadder Back & Forth (1999,  Unrated)

Not a patch on the original series, but funny anyway.
35
Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003,  PG-13)
Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl
The original, and the best.
36
Snakes on a Plane (2006,  R)

It's not so bad it's good. It's actually a good action film with a nonsense plot.
37
Steel Magnolias (1989,  PG)
Steel Magnolias
SO many quotable lines! Great movie.
38
The Prestige (2006,  PG-13)

39
Titanic (1997,  PG-13)

Cheesy and obviously trying to be an epic - and yet, I love it!

A cute movie with a fantastic cast.
41

The acting is brilliant in this heart wrenching film.
43
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989,  PG-13)

Full of quotable lines, this is a modern Christmas classic.
44

Lots of quotable lines and a great cast.
45
The Hound of the Baskervilles (1981,  Unrated)

I hate to give less than 5 stars to a Peter Cook film, but while this is a lot of fun, it's not great...
46

Great movie! Proves there's someone out there for everyone.
