The Sixth Sense (This one keeps you guessing 'till the very end)

I'm happy to see many mentions of other favorites of mine; To Kill a Mockingbird, The Wizard of Oz, The Shawshank Redemption. Lots of other great ones listed too. Fun thread!

The Shawshank Redemption
Legends of the Fall
Ice Age,the melt-down.

i just counted up the movies ya'll have posted and there are only NINE I haven't seen...I LOVE MOVIES...so much that I can't think of my THREE top...so

anything that has Cary Grant in it..

anything produced and directed by John Hughes

anything produced by Steven Spielberg

Another one who loves old movies:

A League of Their Own
BackStreet
ThunderRoad

The Sound of Music
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

casey, I'd highly recommend the book 'Alive' if you haven't already read it. It has much more detail than the movie and is excellent.

A Walk in the Clouds
The Lake House
The Notebook
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Interview with the Vampire
Gladiator
Braveheart
The Patriot

I can't pick just three!

Gayle, now I know why I love you! LOL

That I can think of, almost all of my favorites have already been listed. Here are some of the newer ones I didn't see anyone mention.

SecondHand Lions
A Good Year
Something New
Cider House Rules

Older favorites
Imitation of Life
Beckett
White Palace

Caroline, I think you made me rent 84 Charing Cross Road. Absolutely loved that movie.

Eliza Ann, it's a shame I have only very recently seen Dr. Zhivago in its entirety. So glad I finally did!

If you haven't seen Beckett, you have missed a great movie with Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton. When last I checked, Neither Netflix nor Blockbuster had it because it was never released on DVD, only VHS. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to send you a copy. Just send me postage.

It's a Wonderful Life
Patton
