dorkdance film festival

Today, a little holiday from the farmette critter tales. I have compiled a list of my personal favorite movies of all time. Upon review of my selections, I notice that they are all relatively cheery movies, and many happen to be musicals. Please take heart: I do actually realize that not a single film on my list (save #9) would make any list of critically acclaimed films. I'm not sure what this says about me, but here you go:  

My top ten movies of all time, which all just happen to be feel-good movies, in no particular order:  

1. Elf - Will Ferrell trying to board the escalator cracks me up every time.
2. Bridget Jones's Diary - tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks.
3. The Sound of Music - never gets old for me.
4. Parenthood - Steve Martin coming to terms with the roller coaster ride reminds me to enjoy every moment of this precious time.
5. This is Spinal Tap - in the top ten, it goes to eleven.
6. Nanny McPhee - colorful costumes, the best nanny and a fairy tale snowflake ending.
7. The Jerk - pure shinola.
8. Moulin Rouge - gotta love the musicals, even though this one has a sad ending.
9. Once - please see it if you haven't! another musical!
10. Purple Rain - paid good money to see it 9 times on the big screen in 1984-5.

Please feel free to leave your own suggestions, I'd love to see them.
