	Pirates of the Caribbean. Two reasons: Who doesn't love smelly dirty pirates? And who doesn't love Johnny Depp as a pirate? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	An entertaining movie and Keith Richards should have sued for royalties on that one. I had a hard time seeing how anyone would follow Jack Sparrow though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hah! I agree. I kind of modeled my pirate after him. The train stopped in Tortuga, and we had to fit in. And wench just wasn't me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In your case favorite play or opera? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Faust. A true masterpiece, one I fell easily in love with. Though I am also partially fond of Hannibal, but only if my sweet Christine plays the lead role of Queen Elissa. I'm very biased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um, I'd have to say either Star Wars, or Little Shop of Horrors. I absolutely love campy stuff like that...! Heh! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So you'd be a fan of Spaceballs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nosferatu was swell, or perhaps Grandma's Boy, although I'm certainly a little behind on the times. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cover_story 2013-03-29 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	Aw! Swell? Really? I mean, something's so absolutely darling about a guy who still uses words like "Swell!" Heh! I mean - sorry, sir, we haven't been introduced yet. I'm Mary Selwyn, and you are...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-03-29 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	Is the term out of fashion, now? I'm afraid I haven't entirely adapted yet. It's a pleasure to speak with you, Miss Selwyn, I'm Jay Gatsby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I remember Nosferatu, good movie for the era. Movies have advanced considerably since then, color came in back in the 40/ and before I left computers could create special effects almost impossible to distinguish from real life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-03-29 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm afraid that I don't entirely understand, although I would be interested to see some of these newer movies. Could you suggest somewhere to start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ferris Bueller's Day Off My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy whose going with this girl who knows this kid who say Ferris pass out at 31 flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I have not just one favorite movie. I have to give you my top 5 or it's a useless list.

Star Wars (the original trilogy all count in one slot)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Soapdish
Grease
Marvel's Avengers

In no particular order. Why? Well, Star Wars got me through high school, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is just awesome. Cameron is my favorite.

Soapdish is amazing because it has Robert Downey Jr, Whoopie Goldberg, Sally Field, Kathy Nijimi, Kathy Moriarty, Elisabeth Shue, Kevin Kline, and Carrie Fisher.

Grease is the first musical I was ever exposed to and John Travolta was freaking GORGEOUS back then.

And Avengers is the newest addition to the list because it's epic and I love Joss Whedon and the whole cast is wonderful and everybody is hot.

So there you go.

	I can't really answer this question because I've only ever seen three movies in my life and they were the original Star Wars trilogy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well at least your three movies were good ones. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was more a fan of Clark Gable's performance myself than Vivian Leigh's but it was an excellent film for its day. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A form of entertainment. Think of it as a play that has been preserved through technology and can be replayed unlimited times. (Reply to this) (Parent)
