I had to really think about this list, there are a lot of movies I love, more than ten for sure. I could probably do a top ten in every genre if I really wanted to but I don’t think I’ll ever do that.
My Ten Favorite Movies
1. Dumbo – This is the first movie I ever remember seeing, between the ages of 3-6 I think I watched this movie once a day every day.
2. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers – I don’t really know why I love this movie, but whenever I’m sick or in a really bad mood I watch this movie and it always makes me feel better.
3. Almost anything with Gene Kelly in it – An American In Paris, Singin’ In The Rain, On The Town, Summer Stock etc…..
4. Charade – Audrey Hepburn & Cary Grant, its a little confusing at times but its still a great movie.
5. Bringing Up Baby – This is one of Alex’s favorites too, I love watching it with him the most I think.
6. High Society – Which is a remake of the Philadelphia Story, both are really good but I like High Society a bit better.
7. The movies from the Star Trek franchise – but really only the even numbered ones, the odd ones all seem to suck for some reason. Seriously, look it up, the internet nerds agree with me. Even > Odd.
8. Penelope - I love Christina Ricci and I think this movie is just adorable.
9. True Lies – I spent too many Sunday afternoons watching this movie on TV with my family. Also, Alex loves Arnold and I don’t really enjoy most of Arnolds movies, its the ultimate compromise for us.
10. The Great Escape - Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson & James Coburn. Excellent!
UPDATE!: Tess from The Homespun Life just made me realize that I was very light on the sci-fi on this list. I’m a big fan of sci-fi/fantasy movies so in order to protect my nerdy street cred I’m going to quickly list a few sci-fi & fantasy movies that I love that didn’t make it on the list. Lord of the Rings is a favorite of mine, I thought the books were better than the movies though so I left it off the list. Star Wars (the originals, NOT THE PREQUELS!) are good but I’ve always been more of a Trekkie, so I left it off the list too. Terminator 2, Stargate, Harry Potter, and V for Vendetta are all great movies but when it comes down to it they are just not my favorites… hmm, maybe I’m not as big of a nerd as I thought… 
Wow, you threw me here! I thought I’d see some Lord of the Rings, maybe Star Wars, Dune, Bladerunner, more heavy on the sci-fi. Not that I disapprove of old movies and musicals in particular. Oh no. Not me.
I think Lord of the Rings would be my #11 for sure! Acctually now that I think about it I kinda regret not putting it on there… As for Star Wars, I’ve always been more of a Trekkie, Star Wars is good bit I LOVE Star Trek. I’ve been on a musical/girly movie binge lately, I’m sure if I tried to do this list again in a few months it would be a bit different.
