I should have written these in reverse order, because Smoke belongs here. Or Totoro. Silverado, Clue, Great Escape. Those would probably be my top 5.
Except for this last film. This, this is my favorite film of all.
Like Clue, it invades my family's dialect, little quotes from it show up where you least expect it. My friend Rachel often refers to someone or another as a bit of an R.O.U.S., for instance, or, "have fun storming the castle" which comes up more often than you might think.The Princess Bride, set as a story within a story on film, is wonderfully done. My kids love this film. I love this film. Mike loves this film. Mike and I danced to "Storybook Love" as our first dance at our wedding reception. Nevermind that I was marrying Inigo Montoya instead of the Dread Pirate Wesley. It's a lovely little film, and I guess if I had to pick one for the top of the list, really, that's where this one belongs.

I have to watch this film at least once a year. It's pitch perfect.
Really?! I need to watch it again, with new eyes.
(I have loved this series).
I thought it was ROUSS?
I think it's ROUS's (umm, or maybe ROUSes), meaning "rodents of unusual size" in the plural...
amen to that! we love that movie, "don't even think (ahem) don't even think about trying to escape" and tyrone, if you haven't got your health you haven't got anything.
