My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin - really funny

Shirley Valentine - love this lady and Greece

Out of Africa - so romantic 

3:10 to Yuma - love me a Western

Wyatt Earp - with Brad Pitt think this is the title but Brad utters the phrase I’ll be your little huckleberry!

sorry to ramble.

@dulwich- it's such a shame that not more people know about Shirley Valentine. Every middle-aged woman should watch it at least once. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it. The best!

I will add a few more of my very favorites:

Dirty Dancing

Grease

Fatso

The Birdcage

The Graduate

@ Montana- surprisingly, Falling in Love was not a popular movie, considering it starred Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro. It's one of my favorite movies as well, and I have watched it over and over and over. Good choice!

One movie I forgot.  

Born Yesterday.  I loved Judy Holiday on that movie.  After I watched it for the umpteenth time. i started watching her as if she was the only one one screen.  I loved her reactions, facial expressions, and omg...that voice.  She was less stylized than other actresses of that era.  A little more natural

@Its Me LuLuBelle2, hello!

i have a few.  

Gone with the Wind.  My first Father-daughter date back in the day.  Even in Greece when I was there my spring semester of sophomore year in college (subtitles of course).

The Wizard of Oz - went so far as to live in Kansas!  LOL!

Many of the film noir genre with Barbara Stanwyck and Lizbeth Scott.

Too many others to mention.

Even Titanic, although my husband ALWAYS reminds me the boat still sinks!  I guess I keep hoping for a better outcome.  LOL!

I am definitely in the minority here.  I have never seen a movie twice.  I do not re-read books either.  There is always so many new ones I want to see or read..
