I think every one of us has a go-to movie. For Steve and me it's the newest Star Trek movie. I have no idea how many times we've watched it, but we will watch it many more times and still love it.
I'm hunting a movie and could use some suggestions (since ours are dated). What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie is Billy Elliot. I’ve probably watched it 8 times and still love it.

One of my new favorites is Cabin in the Woods. It has a mix of scary and humor and it seriously took me by surprise. And I found a new favorite TV show on Netflix called The IT Crowd…hilarious!

Since you are a Star Trek fan – have you seen Galaxy Quest? My husband and I have watched it more times than I like to admit and laugh every time.

My current favorites are the 8 Harry Potter movies. I read the books and loved them, and the movies don’t wander far from them.

That was good and worth seeing again. We went to see Skyfall and I must say it was GREAT! All the things that annoy me about that sort of movie – the bad guy won’t die, the chase scenes are too long, were absent. I agree about the Harry Potter series and I would add Lord of the Rings, though that is so sad in places. The Toy Story series makes me laugh out loud- it is so written for Baby Boomers. I watch Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally alone and can recite all the funny lines…..

I have to agree about 84 Charing Cross Road, its great. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Contact but I practically know the dialogue by heart. Another favorite is Crossing Delancy with Amy Irving. And of course, I never get tired of Indiana Jones.

Some of my favorites that reside in the sewing room because I love to watch them while busy are Mama Mia because it is so fun! and Blind Side because she is a strong woman with a husband who loves her just the way she is. I keep Little Women and Kate and Leopold handy, too. We also have the whole set of original Star Trek movies and watch them together quite often.

“While you were Sleeping” – saw this with my dd when she was in 5th grade and we had a mom-and-me day. I’ve watched it many times since.

I agree that the new Star Trek was very good. “Galaxy Quest” was hysterical. “Trekkies” was also a good laugh.
For a visually stunning movie that will give rise to a lot of debate, I like Inception. Good soundtrack too.
Lately, though, I have been preferring tv series. You can tell a lot more story in 12 or 13 episodes than you can in a movie. Homeland was a little heavy at times, but unbelievably good. And for sheer campy silliness, I am finding Grimm to be excellent entertainment!
