Another vote for Twilight. As is the case for most movies based on books, the book is better and I highly recommend the entire series. But the movie is a great modern vampire love story (is that an actual category?). It makes for a fun girls night out. I went with a group of 8 thirty-something young moms and had a blast!

Agreed, I loved Harold and Maude. Especially Maude because she is so full of life and you never know what she is going to do next.

I saw this movie, and I liked it a lot as well. It was so interesting how the tax man completely opened up and started living more authentically be virtue of having lived with these people.

OK, it's not a movie, but Gavin and Stacey is a relatively obscure but totally brilliant British TV series that everyone should find time to watch.

I absolutely love watching Serendipity with John Cusack around this time of year. It's so cute.

For a no nonsense, funny and chic movie for the weekend, I love Bridget Jones' Diary, both one and two. Great to share a laugh with girlfriends and for a cozy night in.

I saw Tell No One about a month ago...loved it. As a fan of Kristin Scott Thomas, I've been considering going to see I've Loved You So Long...it's always good to have a recommendation when you're making these decisions :) !

To me, winter afternoons mean Doris Day-movies! "That touch of mink", especially for Cary Grant, and "Lover come back" and "Pillow Talk". I can´t get enough of them. I like the clothes, the colors, the old-fashionedness and of course the jokes.
Once I put a champagne-bottle on my big toe to wave at my boyfriend with it and almost didn´t get it off afterwards. I guess, I have a little of Doris Day (or her image?) in me, and that´s not such a bad thing, I think! ;)

If you just want a couple hours of entertainment, nothing serious, jut good clean fun, go to see Madagascar, Escape from Africa. My husband and I laughed out loud at the theatre at this one. There are a lot of references to other movies in it that the kids probably won't catch, and every time there was one, my husband and I nudged each other and giggled. Nothing off color, no sexual inuendo. Get a big tub of popcorn and be a kid for a couple hours. Life is just too serious sometimes

Well, I would say "The story of us" with Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer, the ultimate (plus very close to the truth) of how a life of couple with children may be. And my personal favorite for Christmas, the muppets in "Christmas Story".... I see it every year!

"Slumdog Millionaire" - great movie by the same director who made "Trainspotting" surprisingly enough.

Tropic Thunder is brilliantly silly. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fall means watching Baby Boom with Diane Keaton in front of the fire, snacking on apples slices and cheddar cheese and a mug of tea.

But, if you really want to get into the Christmas (Holiday) season then watch the movie I recommended in an earlier Question of the Day.. "The Bishops Wife" with Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young. It's unbelievably charming, funny a little drama is included but you will be filled with such warmth and delight after viewing this one..

I bought it last Christmas and haven't watched yet because I saw a segment from it on Oprah when she was promoting it and it depicted the, "Never before captured on film, downing of an elephant as it was separated from it's familial herd at night" By lions I believe. I turned it off and sobbed for hours whenever I thought of it. Sometimes my heart is so tender it physically hurts. I know I can watch most of it without seeing the scenes of nature at it's worst, but I'm not ready yet. I know, I know.. suck it up. Can't yet.

Sounds like something I'd like but I've never heard of it.. love Sam Elliott too.

I don't really love Katie Holmes in this, but it could be the overdoing it in the "punk" look they're going for. I do, however, LOVE this film. It is so touching and well made.

Harold and Maude. Either the funniest or the flattest movie ever, depending on your person and mood. Plus an amazing Cat Stevens soundtrack.

READ THE BOOKS! Seriously, I'm deep in the Twlight haze right now. I am completely unable to put them down. I loved the movie (saw it twice already), but it does the book no justice. Really. Get yourself to the bookstore tonight!

I adore Love Song for Bobby Long. I don't always love John Travolta, but he was perfect in this role.

I'd like to see just about anything at Fifth Avenue, but Rachel Getting Married is probably at the top of my list. I recently saw I've Loved You So Long and Tell No One, 2 excellent French films.

Isn't that an amazing collection?!? It's remarkable the lengths to which the cinematographers will go to get a shot.

I'm in the mood for some purely entertaining movies right now. I just finished reading Twilight last night and now will have to see the movie. I'm also longing for a couple of hours of watching Daniel Craig as James Bond in Quantum of Solace. I've watched Casino Royale no fewer than three times already this weekend and need another dose of new 007.

I've also been wanting to see Rachel Getting Married.

"Singin' in the Rain" always makes me happy and every time I see it, I'm amazed at how immensely talented and how multi-talented performers had to be in order to actually 'make it big'. There's nothing like Gene Kelly smoothly twirling around the lamp post in the rain. A refeshing and joyful classic!

To keep in season, "Pieces of April" is a surprising treasure about a family coming to visit their 'black sheep' daughter in NY for Thanksgiving. The family is pulled by obvious mother/daughter angst, illness, and their individual barriers. It's really beautiful and heart-warming. It's a rare glimpse of Katie Holmes pre-Tom and you can appreciate why she was such a rising star and Patricia Clarke is wonderful as the mom (watch for the scene when she smokes a doob with her son in the gas staion washroom - real, sad, and funny).
