Through loves and husbands and death and destruction, her life and relationship with the infamous Rhett Butler are captivating.

This is an incredible movie. It is beautifully and romantically shot and is a movie I think everyone should see at least once.

 Released in 1969, starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford

Follows leaders of the Hole in The Wall Gang, Butch and Sundance as they flee from a posse out to get them for robbing trains.

This is a western for anyone who doesn't think they like westerns. It is hilarious and full of action. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are two of the best actors of our time. They have incredible chemistry together. This movie is a great watch!!

Pride and Prejudice is the beautiful retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel. Full of romance and drama, this movie tugs at the heart. It is beautifully done and one I could (and do) watch over and over.

The movie's main plot lines are those following the five Bennet daughters as they find love. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's mostly rocky and misunderstood 'relationship' is the main story line. It is not hard to fall in love with the character of Mr. Darcy. :)

 Released in 1963, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson and James Coburn

This movie tells the true story of a group of POW's working to escape an 'escape proof' prison camp in Nazi Germany during World War II

This is the telling of the Wyatt Earp story, from nearly beginning to nearly end.

 It begins in his family home and follows his life through loss and tragedy to lawman and lover. It follows Wyatt and his brothers  to Tombstone and beyond.  The cast is extensive and does a great job portraying their characters. Another "western" for those of us not too sure about westerns. :)

It is the story of seven college friends reunited to attend the funeral of one of their other friends. They spend a weekend at the home of Kevin Kline and Glenn Close's characters. This movie is fun, dramatic, sad and uplifting all at once.

This one has an awesome soundtrack as well. Lots of hits from the 60's!

released in 1987 and starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey

I think this movie is probably on most women's favorite movie lists! I've seen this more times than I can count (the same with all on this list) and can recite lines for you if you wanted :)

It is the story of 17 yr old Baby Houseman in 1963 when she meets and falls in love with a young dance instructor while on vacation with her family in the Catskills.

The soundtrack is amazing, too. Lots of oldies and some great 80's tunes, too.

All I can say is, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner. " :)

 Released in 1980 and starring Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore

Based on the novel by Judith Guest, Ordinary People follows a young teenage boy named Conrad Jarret. Distraught by the death of his older brother, Conrad is sent to a mental institution after attempting suicide. When he returns home, life with his family and friends is much different than the life he used to have. Judd Hirsch plays the role of Conrad's psychiatrist.

This movie is drama all the way. Very moving and engaging. One of the few movies I have seen that follows the book to a tee.

 Released in 2006 and stars Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, Robert Hoffman, and Laura Ramsey

This movie is purely fun. It's hilarious and I love it. I've watched it at least 15 times. Every time I crack up. It's a laugh out loud feel good movie. Based on the play Twelfth Night by Shakespeare

Amanda Bynes plays Viola, a teenager who loves soccer and decides to join the boys team at a rival school when the girls team gets cut. She dresses and acts like a boy and lives with her hot guy roommate Duke, played by Channing Tatum.

The soundtrack is great too.

I know technically it's three movies, but it's hard to love one and not the other two :) I LOVE X MEN!! The action scenes and special effects are incredible. The characters are awesome and there's a little something for everbody--mutants, adventure, love, fighting, you name it! X Men is about the group of super hero mutants known as the X Men who are fighting against the forces of evil, namely Magneto and his clan.

My personal opinion is that these are the best of the Marvel comics movies.
