Liz's Favorite Movies of All Time

I love movies. Well actually I love movies that I call "Liz Movies". A Liz movie has a happy ending and sometimes a happy beginning and middle too. A Liz Movie could be an action movie but it is not an action movie in which there is extreme or disturbing violence, torture scenes, or any kind of violence against animals.

An example of a non-Liz Movie would be "Saving Private Ryan" because, while the movie was critically acclaimed and nominated for several Oscars, the first 20 minutes of the movie was disturbingly violent and pretty depressing. So, with those parameters set, following are my favorite movies of all time as of today. (Who knows...I may go see a movie tomorrow that knocks one of these movies off the list.)

1. Pirates of the Caribbean (1st one)
2. Sahara
3. All James Bond Movies (Octopussy, Goldfinger, and Casino Royale are my top picks)
4. Shrek
5. Casablanca
6. Mission Impossible 1,2,3
7. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
8. Elf
9. Seabiscuit
10. Footloose
11. National Treasure
12. Batman Begins
13. Best in Show
14. A Mighty Wind
15. All Indiana Jones Movies
16. Oceans 11 (the Clooney version)
17. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
18. America's Sweethearts
19. The Departed
20. The Good Shepherd
21. Good Will Hunting
22. Bourne Identity
23. Bourne Supremacy
24. Laura Croft Tomb Raider 1 & 2
25. The Transporter
26. The Italian Job
27. Elizabeth
28. Sixteen Candles
29. The Holiday

Liz, my fabulous friend, I am sorry to say you have a disturbing number of Tom Crazy Cruise movies on your list. What's the deal?

Yeah Tom is crazy alright but the guy makes a good movie. Even though he is probably covered in Thetans and would have been committed to a mental institution if he weren't rich and famous I still love his movies. Please don't tell the Scientologists that I made fun of Thetans or you will never hear from me again.
