All-time Favorite Movies

 I was watching The Office, and in this one episode they were playing Desert Island, and arguing over which movies they would take. So, my top five desert island movies..(or my top seven….or ten…….or twenty-six……)..there are so many!

Let’s see….

  • National Treasure-That was a great movie.”OK, who wants to go into the creepy rat-infested tunnel beneath the tomb first? “
  • The Parent Trap- both of them were really cute movies. I especially like the butler in the remake.
  •  The In-Laws- This is my ALL-TIME favorite movie. Serpentine!
  • The Glass Bottom Boat- This is Sophie’s alltime favorite.
  • The Pink Panther- The new one, with Steve Martin: Damburger!
  • The Harry Potter movies- The books were better though! 
  • I liked Cheaper By the Dozen, but only the second one.
  •  ELF!!!- I love Elf.
  • A Christmas Story- We watch this and Elf all year round.
  • The Santa Clause
  • Christmas With The Kranks- Ok, I have a thing for holiday movies.
  • Night At The Museum- this is so not worth 11:50 an hour.
  • The Out Of Towners- Moviewise the first one was better, but the second one is worth watching just for John Cleese.
  • The Great Outdoors
  • The Russians are Coming
  • The Odd Couple
  • The Sound Of Music- a great movie, but you can only watch it once a year. Otherwise it gets on your nerves and you go around singing about cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudel, doorbells and sleighbells and schintzel with noodles, ect.
  • By the way: In the How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria song, do you think it goes, “how do you catch a clown and pin it dowwwwnn?” or is it “how do you catch a cloud…”. This is a recurring family arguement. Please help.

 

 

I think that’s it. What are your five (or sixteen) favorite desert island movies?

  1. five favorite movies:

    1. the in-laws
    2. ocean’s twelve
    3. ocean’s eleven
    4. the parent trap
    5. rv

  2. 1. Cast Away
    2. Any Monty Python movie except for Life Of Brian.
    3. Harold and the Purple Crayon (8 minutes of genius by Crockett Johnson).
    4. I’ll Be Home For Christmas (wishful thinking?).
    5. The Lord Of The Flies (That’s pretty much a horror movie for the desert island).

  3. it is definitely a cloud, not a clown. The point of the line is to demonstrate the impossibility of taming Maria. Clowns can be pinned down, especially when mistaken for donkeys at birthday parties. Clouds cannot, unless they are paper, in which case they aren’t REAL clouds.

  4. no way! it is most definitely a clown, because maria is funny and clown-ish (well, for an austrian nun….)

  5. [...] To find more information from the source here [...]
