When Harry Met Sally... (Collector's Edition)When Harry Met Sally... (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.77
My all time favorite movie. It's full of one-liners, character development, fantastic romance and who can ever forget that diner scene? My husband and I were just friends for a long time....I can relate!

Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.70
The newer version appeals to me more than the original because it is not nearly so dark! Aack! I actually didn't like this movie much the first time I saw it. For some reason, I watched it again and fell in love!
Love Actually (Widescreen Edition)Love Actually (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $6.49
My favorite Christmas movie now. I love all of the characters and how they end up interacting. Doesn't hurt that I have a complete thing for Colin Firth. Colin, if you ever see this, look me up!
While You Were SleepingWhile You Were Sleeping
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.98
I remember seeing this in the theatre with my Mom. It's so endearing and my favorite role of Sandra Bullock's. The Mom is so sweet I want to marry into that family. Shhh...don't tell my real in-laws!
CasablancaCasablanca
Buy used from: $5.80
One of the world's classic romances. I have a beautiful memory of seeing this during high school with the love of my life (now husband) in a restored theatre. The atmosphere and the movie left a forever impression on me. Why, oh why, does she make the choice she does?
BanditsBandits
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.45
A love triangle that actually works. I can identify with Billy Bob's character being a slight hypochondriac myself, I loved that man in that movie!
Mulan (Special Edition)Mulan (Special Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.61
Girl power at its finest. By far my favorite Disney "princess". The bad guy in this movie scares the crap out of me though!
Keeping MumKeeping Mum
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $5.76
A dark comedy that I wasn't sure I even liked until it was over and I thought, "I loved that movie!" This is about as weird as I get in my movie choices but I am so glad I went out on that slight limb for myself.
Dodgeball - A True Underdog Story (Unrated Edition)Dodgeball - A True Underdog Story (Unrated Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.91
This is a completely stupid movie. That being said, I laughed my you-know-what off while watching it! It's really crass humor at its best.
Seabiscuit (Widescreen Edition)Seabiscuit (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.47
Tobey Maguire, beautiful scenery and a fantastic horse story...how could I not win watching this one?
Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939
Buy used from: $23.46
Another classic romance on my must-see list. I understand Scarlett's love of Tara having my own ties to a piece of this little Earth.
Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $14.40
I am not sure why they ever tried to make another version of this after Colin Firth played Mr. Darcy. That man was born to play this part and I am enraptured the entire time he is on the screen.
