Movie Deja Vu

My Twitter friend Martin Saunders, who is the editor of Youthworker Magazine (U.K.), started a hashtag the other day asking about movies you could watch over and over again.  We came up with several, and it started me thinking (uh-oh!).  If I could only have 5 movies to watch for the rest of my life, which ones would I choose?  Movies I could see repeatedly and never grow tired of and never stop enjoying.  After starting with a list of about 50, I have narrowed it down to this ( in no particular order):

• Young Frankenstein
• The Big Chill
• Die Hard
• Caddyshack
• Star Wars V- The Empire Strikes Back

I must confess that I had Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the list until last night when I watched with my son.  I realized then that I really have the whole thing memorized, so keeping it seemed a bit superfluous!  Just missing the cut were such classics as The Princess Bride, The Lion King, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, Armageddon,  Field of Dreams, Toy Story 3, Pleasantville, E.T. and Anchorman.  A couple of guilty pleasures that also got strong consideration were Animal House and Airplane!  Strangely enough, if asked to limit myself to 3 movies, I would just take the Lord of the Rings trilogy and be done with it!


So there's my list- I would love to hear yours!  Have a great Saturday.
