I've noticed over the years that I'm the kind of person who would rather watch my favorite films, magic movies that capture my imagination, over and over and over again (either on TV or DVD) rather than go to a new movie at the theatre, spending $20-40 (or more nowadays) and 2-3 hrs on something that may or may not be very good. (I'll make an exception and take a chance, though, if one of my favorite actors/actresses comes out with a new movie!) Of course, now that I'm living in a much smaller town than before, the opportunities to watch them on the big screen have diminished slightly, so TV and DVD have become even better friends than before. =)
When I find a movie that has all the right chemistry (actors, writing, directing, etc), I can enjoy it repeatedly without ever getting bored. In fact, if a movie is well done enough, I will notice more and more with each viewing: scenes and nuances and moments I didn't catch with earlier screenings, lines I missed, jokes I may not have gotten the first (10) times...
Most of the ones I really love would rarely be called classics. They're just movies that speak to me for one reason or another.
So I've decided to celebrate and share some of my old favorites and new finds here. (I have so many, though, picking a few at a time may be the hard thing...!)
