Top Five Tuesday
I wasn’t really planning on doing another post so soon, but I saw this fun little meme over at Supernanny Where Are You and since I was looking for something to do to avoid going to the grocery store I just had to participate.
It’s about movies (Top 5 Favorites) and since I love lists and I love movies, I just couldn’t resist.
Plus, I thought this would be a great post to promote my Movie Madness Carnival. I finally picked a date for next month. It is going to be on Tuesday, August 5th. Click on the little banner on my sidebar for more information.
Anyway, back to my list. My husband says I have about twenty movies in my top five, but I disagree. There are twenty in my top ten, but only five in my top five. So there!
These are the absolute favorites, the movies I could watch over and over again and never get sick of. These are the ones I choose to watch when I’m feeling sick for comfort (especially #2) and the ones that will make me laugh and cry no matter how many times I see them.
I thought I’d list them in the form of youtube videos just to be annoying for fun.
1. The Notebook-It’s hard to pick just one scene. The kiss scene is of course my favorite, but I really love this one too:
2. The Burbs–A classic dark comedy. Yes, it is extremely cheesy, but I love it! Plus, it is nice to watch a Tom Hanks movie where he doesn’t have a fake accent.
3. Titanic–Again, the kiss scene trumps all but this is another good one:
4. Meet the Parents–I laughed from beginning to end with this movie. It is hard to pick a scene that stands alone as being the funniest because they build off of each other, but here is one that sort of stands alone:
5. Pride and Prejudice–I have to post this scene of Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth unexpectedly running into each other at Pemberley. It is law. No other scene will do. Great, great movie!!
Looking at this list, I just can’t believe there isn’t even one traditional romantic comedy on there. I love romantic comedies, so my honorable mentions include Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, Only You, and many more.

Guess what arrived today via Netflix? THE NOTEBOOK!!!
I seriously hated being the last one left on earth who has not seen this supposed FABULOUS movie. And I didn’t even click on your youtube link for this supposed amazing kiss scene because I didn’t want to ruin it for me without seeing the rest of the movie first.
Okkkkk…..THIS BETTER BE GOOD!!
Because all the movies I have seen lately have been CRAP. (my latest crappy pick: Fool’s Gold with Kate Hudson and Matt McCoughenhey….how do you spell his name?)

OMG! That scene from The Notebook is my FAVORITE!!!! I randomly quoted it one day and my friends thought I was crazy lol. I seriously almost cried just watching that Titanic scene.. such a sad movie. I remember back in the day when I first watched that Leonardo DiCaprio was such a heart throb… what ever happened to that ?!?! haha lol that scene from Meet the Parents was funny.. that was a great movie. Never seen the other 2, but I’ve heard Pride & Prejudice was good. You’ve Got Mail & Sleepless in Seattle also almost made my list!

My husband would also say I have 20 favorites in my top 5… and he’d be wrong too. I only have 17 favorites in my top 5.
And that’s why I steer clear of meme’s like this one… because I’d fail miserably and spend my whole day stressing about which movies to put down. =0)

Oh you should definitely see Phantom of the Opera – so good!
Love the idea to use YouTube videos – so clever!

It’s funny how we have similar tastes in movies, but such different top 5’s. I can understand WHY you like those movies, but I’m not quite a fan of them myself. Except Pride and Prejudice of course. And I haven’t seen The Burbs. The others I don’t mind, but I don’t love either. Though I probably should. I probably would love Titanic if Leo Dicaprio wasn’t in it. I don’t like his prepubescent efforts. I’m more of a Blood Diamond Leo kind of girl.

Oooh! That Notebook kills me every single time..I think it’s cause in that scene, we get to see who Noah is and who Ally is..like in their true element..and uh, yeah, can I be his bird too? Hee…
Oh Pride and Prejudice…that scene is absolutely precious! May I also recommend the scene where he talks about Lizzie’s eyes at a party? That was utterly romantic, that gleam in his eyes as he talks about her!

OK, you have convinced me. I NEED to see the Notebook! Does it count that I read the book so many years ago that I have just a vague inkling of what it’s about?
