	It's a Wonderful Life Buy used from: $28.41 Best feel-good movie to make you laugh and cry that ever was. In classic fantasy, George Bailey gets to find out what life would've been like if he was never born. Jimmy Stewart and perfect cast.
	Random Harvest [VHS] Buy used from: $3.98 Ronald Colman and Greer Garson play mystery and romantic tour de force in grand style with the most perfect of diction.
	Mr Deeds Goes to Town (1936) [VHS] Buy used from: $1.92 Quintessential small-town common-sense naive rube (Gary Cooper) routs cynical city slickers. Jean Arthur is won over, and so will you.
	Enchanted Cottage (RKO Collection) [VHS] Buy used from: $34.94 Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young find romance to be magically transforming.
	North by Northwest - Special Edition [VHS] Buy used from: $2.79 Ordinary man (well, one who looks like Cary Grant anyway) whisked into exhilarating dangerous Alfred Hitchcock adventure via mistaken identity.
	The Quiet Man (Collector's Edition) Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.42 An American (John Wayne) visits small Irish village and runs into dazzling Maureen O'Hara in most vivid color. Pyrotechnics ensue.
	Suspicion (1941) [VHS] Buy used from: $2.66 Cary Grant as the bad guy? He's scaring Joan Fontaine out of her mind. Double meanings and multiple interpretations of motives (Hitchcock of course) until the very end.
	Groundhog Day [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Bill Murray gets his role-of-a-lifetime as groundhog day keeps happening over and over for him. It's worth watching almost that often too - and it's still funny. Andie MacDowell inspires perfectly.
	Return to Me [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Her heart beats for him!? As wonderfully sappy and tearful as romance gets.
	You've Got Mail Buy used from: $1.65 Loosely based on "The Shop Around The Corner". Hanks and Ryan at the top of their game.
	While You Were Sleeping [VHS] Buy used from: $0.15 Sandra Bullock at her adorable best. Even dumb ending cannot mar this romantic comedy.
	The Princess Bride [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 A story of a great story. Romance, Intrigue, Comedy, Action, straight-faced puns. Best role of career for almost all of the cast.
	Men in Black [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Action-adventure comedic hoot. Watch it with surround-sound.
	Angel and the Badman [VHS] Buy used from: $1.99 John Wayne tried to make a quick western for Republic in 1947. Almost by accident made a romantic classic (with Gail Russell). Remade as 'Witness' with Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.
	Pollyanna [VHS] Buy used from: $1.34 First movie I ever saw. Still a joy to watch.
	Man Who Knew Too Little [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Spoofs so many spy-mysteries that you'll lose track. Perfect casting of Bill Murray, Peter Gallagher, Joanne Whalley and Alfred Molina.
	Beau Geste [VHS] Buy used from: $1.99 Gary Cooper/Ray Milland - 3 brothers, family scandal, then escaping to the French foreign legion, treachery, heroes, and more. Turns the book upside down, but most effectively. All-time villian role by Brian Donlevy.
	Hook (Slip) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Peter Pan is in there somewhere and the classic story soars even with satiric jabs at itself.
	Sleepless in Seattle [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 'An Affair To Remember' with laughs.
	No Time for Sergeants [VHS] Buy used from: $29.90 Slow start, but more laugh-out-loud moments than any other film on this list. Proof that Andy Griffith was once side-splittingly funny.
	Radio Flyer [VHS] Buy used from: $0.95 How two brothers stuck together even when one went away.
	ET: The Extra Terrestrial (Limited Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $1.75
	Back to the Future [VHS] Buy used from: $0.99
	Sense and Sensibility [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Looks like a period piece. Sounds like a period piece. Moves like a period piece. But is a witty character study and modernized Jane Austen romance. You get to laugh and cry simultaneously at magnificent ending.
	High Society [VHS] Buy used from: $2.44 Bing and Frank sing and make jokes like they own the screen. They do. Grace Kelly plays the lovely. Wisecracking Celeste Holm sprays classic ripostes all film long. Musical remake of Philadelphia Story.
