My movie surprise favorites: I love Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Fight Club, and Snatch. I have a sick sense of humor sometimes.
I loved Priscilla Queen of the Desert with a passion.
My favorite teen movies are Sixteen Candles, Better off Dead, Heathers, Ferris Buellers Day Off and Some Kind of Wonderful.
I love Peter Sellers in anything. I love the silly Woody Allen.
I never change the channel if You've Got Mail or Beetlejuice is on. I physically can not do it!
Thanks F for such a great post today! I enjoyed it so much. I plan to print it out and use it as my must see list!

Thank you so much! I love your list too; there's several that I was thinking of when I said I needed a longer list. I can't help noticing you list has one unifying thing: all of these are very high-style movies. Yes, even Trainspotting.
Have you seen Audrey in War & Peace? not the best movie she made, but my favorite performance of hers. Beautiful movie to look at, as well.
Oh Orlando... I haven't seen that one in forever! Love the book, too. But Tilda Swinton was an example of perfect casting, and the movie nicely captures the fluid dreaminess of the book well. Have you seen her in the movie, The Deep End... it's another mesmerizing performance, I think.
Annie,
Just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and your beautiful sympathy card you sent to me.
