the 51 version is my fave too, although i just watched the 35 version with seymour hicks who is also a fabulous scrooge. and LOVE the princess bride!
and i don't LOVE 2001, it's just okay. a christmas story, nope, didn't like it. and a BIG no to the godfather movies , shawshank and green mile too.
  how about animated stuff? alice in wonderland 1951 is a fave for everyone i've ever shown it to, along with the original snow white. and the point. and the phantom tollbooth.
LOVE wizard of oz, of course. and king kong 33. and heaven can wait( original), death takes a holiday(original) and a little known movie called on borrowed time, which i'm STILL trying to find a decent dvd copy.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND 1951 is fantastic!  The only Disney animation I think is greater would be PINOCCHIO (1940). 

HEAVEN CAN WAIT (1943... with DON AMECHE?)  Love it! 

ON BORROWED TIME (1939) is shown on TCM once in awhile - CEDRIC HARDWICKE LIONEL BARRYMORE - I like it, but don't "love" it.  Really, it is a downer... I looked it up... "PeeWee" is the grandkid... BOBS WATSON.

Dam. I forgot about that movie. That brings back memories. When I lived in NY back in the late 60's they played this around Christmas time.
I love that movie.

Laundry list?  What fun is a list for anybody else? 
Well, I can tell you I saw NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET in the theater when it was new and I did not like it.  It's stupid.  I particularly dislike LORD OF THE RINGS with the third being SO boring... at least 3 of your other films I've not seen.  YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a great choice.

I've always enjoyed The Phantom Menace.

Shouldn't that be in "movies you love that everybody else hates?  :tongueout:
I love THE PHANTOM MENACE, and I can never understand the hate towards it.
Check my crappy and unpopular reviews and ratings:
