My Favorite Movies

Editor's Note: Due to a glitch in Blogger, my previous "favorite movies" post from November 4th has disappeared! And since Blogger's customer support person is not an actual person, there's no way to get any help fixing the problem. So I am re-posting. But you don't have to re-read it. Although I did make one change to the list...

I often get asked what my favorite movie is. Why? Because I'm often in "get to know you" conversations, which is the funnest part of being single.

I had already started keeping a list in my palm/phone of movies that I wanted to see, and at some point I started adding movies that I really liked, and eventually it morphed into a list of favorites. So now when I get asked what my favorite movie is, I can whip out my phone and display them. Perfect for looking like a big nerd, which is usually my goal.

Most of the movies in this list could already be seen in my blog profile, if you had bothered to look. But the movies there are in alphabetical order. In this post I decided to list out my top 25, in order of preference.

Deciding on the order was tricky. And I'm sure I'm probably forgetting some movies that should be on the list. And I may not have gotten the full effect of some of the R-rated ones, since I watched the Cleanfilms versions (before they were forced out of business by lame-o Hollywood interests). But anyway here goes:

25. Casablanca

24. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

23. Mission Impossible (Part 1)

22. The Naked Gun

21. Love Actually

20. Dave

19. O Brother Where Art Thou

18. Groundhog Day

17. The Mask

16. Unbreakable

15. The Scarlett Pimpernel

14. The Godfather

13. Pirates of the Caribbean (Part 1)

12. School of Rock

11. Indiana Jones

10. The Terminator

9. Napoleon Dynamite

8. The Wedding Singer

7. The Matrix

6. Star Wars

5. The Incredibles

4. Happy Gilmore

3. Lord of the Rings (Part 1)

2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

And...

1. Back to the Future

There you have it! Let me know what I missed...
