There 100 of my favorite movies, and I’ve no doubt I’ll kick myself tomorrow when I realize how many didn’t make the cut, but easily could have. I love to go to the movies!
What are a couple of your all-time favorite movies? Any you’ve watched multiple times?
———————————————–
Omyyygoodness,
We have many of the same fave. movies: family stone, out of africa, tootsie (LOVE), somewhere in time, erin B, somethings gotta give– Ohhhh, and Kramer vs. Kramer. I Loooove that one. I’ve watched several times.
Have you watched silkwood, the american president, guess who’s coming to dinner, or the mirror has two faces?
Great list. Superb idea, Ellen. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’ve seen them all. I need a longer list!
Have you seen American Dreamer with JoBeth Williams? It’s from the 80s, and it’s another one I’ve watched multiple times. I didn’t even get into the indie films I adore, like, The Gods Must Be Crazy. I could easily have come up with 200 titles, I think. 
xoxo
Fabulous list there Ellen with quite a few of my favs! Nice!
Thanks, Bren! Lots of fun putting it together, although it was hard to leave out a bunch of others I also love.
