We'll start today off with:

What is your favorite movie?

**Tina** · 04-18-2004, 09:45 PM

mine? yikes! I LOVE movies: top 5- "Titanic", "Forrest Gump", "Harry Potter (both)", The Cutting Edge, The Shawshank Redemption.

Wow, that was hard. These are the movies I have seen more than any... Like I said, I love movies! all types, drama, war (yes, I like war movies), action, horror (yes, I like horror movies!), chick flicks, comedies........

Did I mention I love movies???

**Margie** · 04-18-2004, 10:38 PM

gosh, don't know if i could pin one down either.
the passion of the Christ. can't say i want to see it again, but it's a life-altering movie experience like no other (highly recommended).
shawshank redemption *IS* a classic and probably the best movie ever.
the princess bride, the movie's just got it all!
titanic, man, awesome.
can't think of any others right now... and which one gets top billing, dunno!

Oh wow...I love movies too!

I think I've seen Sabrina more than any other movie (I'm sure it I've seen it over 1000 times...not exaggerating! the new one with Julia Ormond, Greg Kinnear, and Harrison Ford)

I love the Shawshank redemption as well. Princess Bride..definately! I love How to Lose A Guy in 10 days...a new fav.

I love girlie movies - Beaches (watched it again last weekend) Steel Magnolias, etc.

Fools Rush In. Don't know why, really, but I've probably seen it 100 times. Love it! Matthew Perry is too funny and Salma Hayak is too beautiful.
Great flick.

Are there other books???

(ok, I also loved "About a Boy", all of Mary Higgins Clark, and "Evergreen" by Belva Plain, oh and I've read (and loved) tons of John Jakes books..and and and... I love books as much a movies!!! As a kid I read nearly every novel in our little school library! My favs back then were Judy Blume!)

**Margie** · 04-19-2004, 10:04 AM

well that's easier! the left behind series and the harry potter series!
course women are from venus, men are from mars is a wonderful/enlightening read too! every married person should be required to read it in my opinion!
not many of us giving definite one favorites are we? it's more of a range of favorites...

**elizabethlmccoy** · 04-19-2004, 10:14 AM

Book: The nanny diaries & prize winner of defiance ohio

Movie: Past- Goonies/girls just want to have fun :P

**Tina** · 04-19-2004, 10:18 AM

Ok, I must know what "prize winner of defiance ohio" is. I'm not near Defiance, but sounds interesting!

and I LOVED Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! I've seen it dozens of times. I wanted to BE Helen Hunt, she was SO cool!

andrea · 04-19-2004, 10:27 AM

My all-time favorite book is a children's book called Ira Sleeps Over by Bernard Waber (If you have kids, run and get it!)
My favorite movie is hard because Nicolas Cage has done so many movies, LOL--but it's probably City of Angels

Tina,
The book is so inspiring. Back in the day when to win contests you had to come up with clever slogans or neat jingles not put your name on a sheet of paper and wait for a call. She entered so many contests and won tons of prizes..but the cool part was that her family wasn't a well to do family everythig she won they needed. Especially b/c her husband was a alcoholic and spent his whole paycheck on booze. AND SHE HAD 10 KIDS!!!
the whole title is: The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio: How My Mother Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less

I read it in 1 weekend cuz i couldn't put it down GREAT READ!!

FYI: Overstock has got it for 8.89 plus 1.40 for shipping = $10.29
Which is lower than amazon's base price & you will have to pay shipping if you don't order other times totally $25 or more. Sorry if you didn't want to hear this but I love saving $$
