My Favorite Movies

Review to slowly unravel as I have time....

While at Catholic Girl's Camp this year I was introduced to some interesting and rather revealing insights into this movie. I still love watching certain parts of it, that I don't think will change readily, but if you really examine the books and the movies side by side, you'll find them to be quite different. Sr. Philomena remarked that the movies were what appealed to people these days, there were many battle scenes, and the women had low cut dresses. She informed me, for I had forgotten, that a battle in one of the movies took several scenes, whereas it was only one or two pages in the books. Tolkien was a strong Roman Catholic, and I highly doubt he would be compliant with the way the movies were filmed or some of the costumes. Further words to follow.

Review to follow as time alloweth me. .

I remember watching this as a little girl and being infatuated with it. The charm wore off as I grew older; but every now and then I enjoy seeing it again.
The sword fight between Westley and Inigo has always stuck in my mind; and been a particular favorite scene in this film.
However, I don't agree with Inigo seeking revenge by killing the six fingered man, however he did, and I can't do anything to change it, except skip that scene, not a favorite of mine. It's not that I'm squeamish, after watching the Lord of the Rings and seeing 'things', but it just struck an annoyance cord in me.
The battle of wits is another part I don't mind watching more than once. It's interesting and a bit satisfying to watch that short little man die laughing

First one is the best, second is fine, third is a bit unhappy of an ending.

I've always enjoyed watching this version of the Scarlet Pimpernel; and the book is incredible as well; for other fans who haven't read it; you should.

Pretty good movie, but the book is so much better. Overall though, it was decent enough, but not what I was hoping. Hugh Dancy made a good prince, though.

The flying was realistic so that was nice. Good movie. Not sure if it followed the book, but I don't care on this one.

Good movie, good boy, good dogs, good story, hee hee. About a boy named Will (love that name) who wants to save the farm and go to college. In order to do that he wants to run a dog race, and he's never raced before. Only one winner, ten thousand dollars, and a hot competition, who will win?

If you like ice skating, this is a good movie to watch.

Very funny movie. A must watch.

I think this is a touching movie. I've watched it twice or thrice and enjoyed it all the time. A sort of Beauty and the Beast.

Better then I expected, since movies generally don't follow books. C.S. Lewis was a great author! Look forward to Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and I hope they are as good as the books.

My favorite Robin Hood, except I would have chosen Patric Knowles as Robin Hood, and no hair on the chin!

I liked it. I don't like how the prince looks though...too old. Liked Hugh Dancy as a prince better.

In color its even better.

It's a wonderful family film. Why it's rated PG-13 beats me???

I loved this movie. I don't think I'd have the courage to do what she did. This is a true story.

Kind of silly but I loved it

Interesting movie. Viggo Mortensen's performance is top notch.

Sad, but I liked it, although I wouldn't want to live forever.

Good movie. I think Colin Firth was the better Darcy and Keira Knightley the best Elizabeth.

The good guys always win

Dogs can very well be your best friends

Funny

Very glad I got it for my birthday

Fairly good

A good story. Errol Flynn was his best in here.

The first was best, but this was still alright.

Good

My favorite superman movie.

Comical

Interesting

Good movie

Not as good as some, loved the parts with Miles Hendon in them.

It was good and the costumes were so lovely, Padme's were. Some things I would have done differently but I enjoyed watching certain scenes that made it all worth it. The special effects were extraordinary.

Based on the true story of a priest, Fr. Hugh O'Flaherty. VERY good. What a brave man! A real life Scarlet Pimpernel.

Good, although not my favorite

It was good. My favorite parts were the meadow scene, arena scene, lake area scene, and Obi-Wan and Anakin vs. Dooku.

It was um...interesting? I really liked the duel between Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

A good family film and highly interesting...for me at least.

Not near as good as a book, but in itself it is worthwhile watching.

Fascinating.

Another great Jane Austen classic.

It was a good movie, but be prepared to sit for four hours watching it.

Not my favorite in the trilogy, but it's not my least favorite, as you get introduced to all the characters.

Very good movie. In the very beginning you can see wrinkles on the sunset scenery, which is rather funny, but I don't really mind. Also thought it was funny when he was carrying Margaret and just dropped her like a sack of potatoes. You'd have to watch it to know what I'm talking about.

Satisfiable.

Good movie, and well acted. I don't think Gwen looked the remotest like a boy though.

Love Tyrone Power

A very good movie. I enjoyed it whole heartedly.

Lovely and enchanting film. The music is sweet, the costumes are well made, and over all it's an entertaining film.

A moving story of two courageous people

It was entertaining, good plot, nice action.

I never realized before that it had the Borgias in here.

The ending was a bit weird and left me thinking there should be a sequel, but I have not heard of any plans for one. *laughs* The main reason I lynched it from the library was because it had Billy Boyd in it, though he played a very small part, and I ended up enjoying it very much.

Incredible

It was rather sad

Breathtaking in a certain way. Good movie.

Justin Bartha *laughs* he added the perfect touch to Riley.

Sad

A classic of old Hollywood; filled with beautiful acting and clever dialogue.

Besides for one part that had to be skipped, some guys were smoking drugs I think, and another part had to be muted for inappropriate topics, but other than language, which is not a good thing, it was a good movie. Based on a true person, Stephen Glass.

Watched this on a vacation and it was really hilarious.

Do not judge on the surface.

Patric Knowles is the person I watched this for.

Excellent and gripping.

Long in minutes but short in entertainment I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Average.

Funny.

'The game is afoot!'

Dudley: Only seconds left, Holmes. I assume you've given up.
Sherlock Holmes: Never assume anything, my good fellow.
Dudley: But Holmes, I see no sign of a trophy.
Sherlock Holmes: But I do.
[picks up a vase and prepares to shatter it]
Master Snelgrove: Stop! Holmes, have you gone mad? This is an antique!
[Holmes shatters the vase, revealing the stolen trophy]

A beautiful and inspiring story of an ordinary girl who became a saint. Her little way, making small sacrifices should be an example to all.

This isn't the best made film. But then why, somebody might ask, is it in my favorite films? It's there because I love fairy tales and happy endings, and of course it helped to have a handsome prince mixed in there.
