I'm not sure what my favorite movie is, but one I saw in the last few years and really liked was Last Night. It's a Canadian movie about the last night before the world ends. (It's not explained why the world is ending, but everyone in the movie has known for some time that it was going to happen.) It's kind of sad and kind of funny, and oddly heartwarming. I'd definitely recommend looking for this one at the video store.

Emily,

My dh's favorite movie is Shawshank! I can't count how many times he's seen that film. I Morgan Freeman. Are we living in some sort of parallel goofball world?

The Quarrel. I saw it in Toronto about 12 years ago in a theatre and once late at night on CBC. I have tried in vain to find it on video but it seems to have vanished. It was the most amazing movie! There are basically only two characters in it. The movie begins with two men meeting on a walk through a park in Montreal. They recognize one another as childhood friends, they were children at the time of the Holocaust. Both were the only survivors from their families and one has become a profoundly devout Jew because of the experience and the other has become an atheist. They meet, they discuss, they remember, they argue, all in the park. Neither changes the other's mind but there is a beautiful scene at the end with the two old friends laughing, weeping, singing and dancing together in this park in the middle of the city. It is one of the most riveting and profoundly beautiful films I have ever seen. How I wish I could see it again and someday share it with my children!

I also loved Shawshank Redemption, The Color Purple, The Fisher King and anything Little Bear

My 8 yr old DD just saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, I forgot how much I liked it as well.

She loves the part where Truely Scrumptous sings "what do you see, you people looking at me, you see a doll on a music box that's wound by a key.."

And, of course, the theme song is fun to sing too
