Wow .. I guess my favorite movies are the ones that I can put on in the house, be doing chores and listen, and can visualize every scene because I've seen them so many times.

Those would include:

Princess Bride (glad to see so many fans on here!) .... "anybody wanna peanut?"
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (gotta be in the singing mood)
Doctor Doolittle (the original)
Mulan (cried from the scene where she'd rather play with her chickens than be a lady...)
True Lies (not a big Tom Arnold fan, but he was freakin' hilarious ..)
Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
Sea Biscuit .. know when to run in and watch the good horse footage

Two that I will sit and watch are:

Sleeping with the Enemy .. usually when I'm alone
Face/Off ..

We should all be snowed in for a week and watch each other's favorite films!!! I pretty much like every one that's been mentioned so far.
MY personal favorite film, if you FORCE me to pick just ONE:
"Casablanca"
Richard Blaine is the reluctant hero, beaten up for sticking up for the little guy and lost causes. Ilsa Lund is NOT a glamorous love interest, but rather, a weak follower, who distracts our heroes, Blaine, Lazlo and Renault. (Guys, this is NOT the "chick flick" I had always thought it was, before I made myself watch it!) They ALL three shake off their inertia, and renew the "good fight" at the end. MY kind of a happy ending!!

BTW, debiraymond, you OWE it to yourself to watch THIS earlier version of "The Four Feathers":
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031334/
The author of the book had a 'love affair' with the character, "Lieutenant Willoughby", and loses track of his plot line. That's why it has been filmed about a dozen times, (so far,) and each version tries to make sense of the story. THIS version, from the 1930's is heart-wrenching, but satisfies in the very last scene.

We could use a thread about favorite TV miniseries...

Avatar. I know, it is a brand new film, but I'm a special effects animator and I also love the plot and message, so, yeah. . . Avatar.

Behind that is (and was originally number one) V for Vendetta for its message and storyline.

Funny people mention snow, my place is living up to its name and weather - Everywhere else is getting a terribly cold, frozen winter (even the tropical and southern areas) yet we're at a nice, steady 50 some degrees with rain showers here and there. Aaaah it feels like spring!!
