Total agreement on my side.  I taped the whole thing myself my last 
year in college (sitting through the WHOLE THING so I could edit out 
the commercials!), and my husband and I have watched it about 5 
times.  Not only that, but we recently got the DVD (widescreen 
edition), and watched it AGAIN.  On the way home from sushi tonight, 
we were in English accents the whole way (50 minute drive), quoting 
bits from the movie.  His favorite lines?  "His misfortunes?  Yes, 
his misfortunes are great indeed..." and some of Lady Catherine De 
Bourgh's funny ones.

Let's see... rented Bridget Jones's Diary recently (last Sunday), 
and watched it about 4 times before we had to take it back tonight.

Absolutely love Shall We Dance (Fred and Ginger), as well as one of 
Ginger's solo non-musicals called The Major and the Minor.

French films: Jean de Florette, Manon of the Spring, Mon Oncle

Princess Bride!

A Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life

And I'm pretty sure those are the only films I really obsess about.  
There are others that I like, of course, but those 10 movies are the 
ones that are wearing out (and the poor DVDs are getting damaged by 
our sucky DVD player!  Darnit!).

Jen (who hopes that HP will be number 11 of my faves, and who is 
going to BUY BJD as soon as she can afford it)
