    Great answers, I like nearly all of those

    I'm going to have a think about mine, I always struggle narrowing down my favourites to just five or so, but if I can do it without driving myself insane I'll post them

    Wow, it would be difficult for me to decide on five movies... sense I don't really watch movies that often. I tend to watch romantic movies, or movies that are so stupid they're funny more than anything. Scary movies usually just make me laugh. :)
