So busy finishing (yes – finishing!!!) the edits of Book 4, I didn't have much time to work on this blog. I'll still give the final ten pages another look on Thursday, but I think the story is solid – and that's what matters the most.
Anyway, I looked through our stash of DVDs (of which you can see from this picture taken last year – the collection has grown a little since and doesn't include all the John Wayne movies my husband has in an identical case) and wrote down the ones I could watch over and over and over. Well, I could probably watch them all over, but would need a year or two between watches. Not this list. If I'm flipping through the television channels and run across one of these movies, I'll stop and watch it. That's how much I like these.
Here they are, in alphabetical order – my favorite movies I never tire of watching:
- American President
- Back to the Future
- Beetlejuice
- The Birds
- Bringing Up Baby
- Bull Durham
- Dave
- Die Hard
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Galaxy Quest
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- It's a Wonderful Life
- Ladyhawke
- A League of Their Own
- Love, Actually
- Major League
- Music & Lyrics
- Notting Hill
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Pretty Woman
- Romancing the Stone
- Sleepless in Seattle
- Sound of Music
- Star Trek – The Voyage Home
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- While You Were Sleeping
- Young Frankenstein
Have I hit any of your favorites? Or are you like my dad – watch a movie once and then forget about it?
And if there's a movie here you've never heard about, tell me. I'll then tell you why you should watch it!

Nope, I know them all. Got some good ones on there.
Some of those I've seen, some not.
Big Congrats on working so hard. Very very cool.
Happy Writing.
A lot of these are on my list, too - although I'm more a 'Star Trek: Wrath of Khan' repeater. And where you've got a lot of baseball movies, I've got a lot of football movies. (Unnecessary Roughness, The Replacements... that sort of thing.) Although, I could watch A League of Their Own over and over.
Thanks, Ivy! I'll be even happier when I finally send my project out to my crit partners!
B.E. - I like the football movies, too, and we own the ones you listed, but they're more of my husband's favorites. Of course, if he's watching one, I will tend to sit down and watch with him.
Thirteen on your list would be on mine as well. One that would be near the top is Field of Dreams! :)
