Newsies (Collector's Edition)Newsies (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.13
If you don't like musicals, don't bother. But if you even like musicals a little bit, you will love Newsies!
Anne of Green Gables Trilogy Box SetAnne of Green Gables Trilogy Box Set
Buy new: $59.99 / Used from: $42.97
Anne is always a good choice for young girls. I even know some boys who like the movies, though.
The Princess Bride (Special Edition)The Princess Bride (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $2.21
This was a cult movie when it first came out, and it's a classic now. It's the perfect movie because it has something for everyone. Not to mention I can quote the entire movie.
A Far Off PlaceA Far Off Place
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.00
You can't find this just anywhere. It's a very sweet romance and an exciting adventure story.
The Patriot (Special Edition)The Patriot (Special Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.50
There are very few bloody war movies that I enjoy, but I love this film. I think it's the relationship the father has with his children that I love the most.
WimbledonWimbledon
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.50
Sweet romance movie, and there aren't that many tennis movies out there. Get the dvd and watch the commentary. Paul Bettany does a great commentary.
A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.39
Speaking of Paul Bettany, he does this commentary, too, and it's my favorite part of the already great movie. My dad said he knew this wasn't a serious movie when they started playing "We Will Rock You" at the beginning.
13 Going On 30 (Special Edition)13 Going On 30 (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $0.83
I think every 13-year-old girl should see this movie. It makes you see how the things that are important to you at 13 are by far not the things that are important to you at 30.
View from the TopView from the Top
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.04
I like movies with lots of different qualities. This one has romance, drama, silly humor, a crazy girly catfight. What else can you ask for? :)
The Man From Snowy RiverThe Man From Snowy River
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.00
This came out when I was a child, and I have watched it over 100 times. The Princess Bride is the only movie that share that status.
Ocean's Twelve & Ocean's ElevenOcean's Twelve & Ocean's Eleven
Buy used from: $8.95
I love both of these. Ocean's Twelve is one of the best sequels I have ever seen considering the first one was so good. I love movies that I can't figure out or don't turn out like I expect.
The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.67
This is another that I couldn't figure out till the end. I thought when I was watching that it might turn out like it did, but I couldn't figure how they were going to make it work. Very good suspense.
The HolidayThe Holiday
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.59
I rented this movie and then bought it right away. I think I watched it 3 times before I took it back to the rental store! Amazing love story. Jack Black is the weakest link because he's not a good romantic lead.
Men in Black/Men in Black IIMen in Black/Men in Black II
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $15.25
Another good movie/sequel combo.
Kate & LeopoldKate & Leopold
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.80
Timeless romance story.
The MajesticThe Majestic
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.01
Period movie from the time of the cold war. It's a movie about movies. It's a story about courage to do the right thing.
Galaxy QuestGalaxy Quest
Buy used from: $2.10
Definitely a movie that defies genres: adventure, comedy, action, romance, and drama, all in one.
Bruce Almighty (Widescreen Edition)Bruce Almighty (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.24
I actually loved this movie. Even though it seemed blasphemous at first glance it was a really good story about letting God do what He wants instead of just using Him as a genie who grants wishes.
Sliding DoorsSliding Doors
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.64
I love this movie because it may not have a happy ending exactly, but it does have a hopeful ending.
The Court JesterThe Court Jester
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.70
Danny Kaye at his finest.
Without a ClueWithout a Clue
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.51
Very funny comedy! Sherlock Holmes is a bumbling idiot, and Dr. Watson solves the cases. Lots of subtle humor.
Secondhand Lions (New Line Platinum Series)Secondhand Lions (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.10
This is a movie that everyone should see. Very different plot than anything I've seen before.
SneakersSneakers
Buy used from: $1.31
I don't really have a comment about Sneakers. It's good enough to be on my favorite list. Enough said.
Notting Hill (Ultimate Edition)Notting Hill (Ultimate Edition)
Buy used from: $3.19
Sweet romance.
Shall We Dance? (Widescreen Edition)Shall We Dance? (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.10
This one should be nearer the top of the list. I love ballroom dancing movies, and this is one of the best ever!
The Whole Nine YardsThe Whole Nine Yards
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Unexpected and very good plot. Lots of great actors, too. Horrible sequel, though, so don't bother with The Whole Ten Yards.
Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.99
Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay and did a fantastic job. I dearly love Jane Austin's stories. They are better as movies than books, though, in my opinion.
Stranger Than FictionStranger Than Fiction
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.92
Absolutely a different plot than any other movie I have seen. Very good and moving story. Makes you wonder what you would do if faced with death. I cried for 10 minutes after the movie was over.
The Shawshank RedemptionThe Shawshank Redemption
Buy used from: $1.50
Very depressing until the very end.
Singin' in the Rain (Two-Disc Special Edition)Singin' in the Rain (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $9.94
This is the epitome of the classic musicals. I'm a big fan of song and dance movies.
Les MiserablesLes Miserables
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.21
The musical part is missing, but still a good film. Very close to the Victor Hugo story.
Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 (Full Screen Special Editions)Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 (Full Screen Special Editions)
Buy used from: $9.50
Last Holiday (Widescreen Edition)Last Holiday (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.90
Queen Latifah's best movie, IMO. Great plot that makes you think.
