"Please Teach Me English" is an adorable and hilarious Korean film.  You should watch it!  :laugh:

The best movie I have seen in the past ten years, love, compassion, romance, adventure, suspense, drama, sadness, happiness, exotic beauty all in one.

AVATAR

Labyrinth
the Princess Bride
Avatar
Ghost in the Shell
Braveheart
Ultraviolet
Kickass

30 Days of Night is a good one.

But for a good blood one I like

Cruelladeville

Thanks for the hat tip on that one Janet....

I have to fess-up to a weakness for all that's gothic vampirism....something my younger sis shares as an interest too...

I'm looking forward to seeing this one...

I love "Cinderella" stories, like Enchanted, Ever After, Ella Enchanted, Princess Diaries

and other "fairy tales" - Stardust, Mulan, Princess Bride, Wizard of Oz, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast.

Drama - Serendipity, The Notebook, Count of Monte Cristo, Memento

Comedy - What about Bob, Legally Blonde

And Science Fiction / Space Opera - Serenity/Firefly, Aeon Flux, Underworld (trilogy), The Abyss, Star Wars (classic 3) Galaxy Quest, The Matrix

And yes I cry during many of them.  My spouse says I'm a boob.

Cheers!

My top ten and the reasons I chose them:
10: The Birds.  Because it made me fascinated with the North Coast of California even though it would be 30 years before I got to live there and it inspired me to write a novel.

9: Man's favorite Sport. Because it made me feel what love might be like when I was a pre-teen.

8: Star wars. Because it made me feel that evil can be beaten.

7:The Incident. Because it let me feel what it would be like to finally and permanently stop people who torment me.

6:The Last Starfighter. Because it inspired me to go for it whatever the cost.

5:The Sting. Because it taught me that I couldn't predict the ending of everything including how my life will go.

4:The Summer of '42. Because I wanted to have sex with Jennifer O'Neil as badly as the kid did.

3:Different for Girls. Because I wanted to be as poised and  independent as Kim in her new female gender.

2:Better than Chocolate. Because it was set in Vancouver B.C and had a lesbian transwoman who was accepted by other lesbians and loved by one.

1: Raiders of the Lost Ark. Because it gave me courage to face adversity and it would become my and my wife's theme song.
