   If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, but got to choose how often you watched it (like you don't have to watch it every day) what would it be?

      Where Eagles Dare.
      I do  not mean it is the best of movies but the excitement and shert acting..... and the magnetic personality of Richard Burton

   an old movie, inside there are stories of real life with their humor, joy, sadness, love, trouble, death. Is one of my favorite movies,  one that I never get tired of looking

   That's interesting that more than one person would choose Terms of Endearment.  That movie makes me cry!!

   I'd give up watching television, sell my TV, get rid of my 3 dvd players, eliminate my entertainment center and turn my living room into a Pool room instead, with a regulation size 8' table, so I could better entertain myself, whenever not on computer working.

         At least my pool game would get some work in versus watching some of the 400 titles I have on dvd presently(including tv series(ghost whisperer, leverage, the mentalist, bones, angel, beauty and the beast(on vhs) and about another 400 titles on vhs. You were asking to choose only one.
         
         I have yet to find a movie I could watch that much, and feel my time could be better spent.

   The only movie I watch repeatedly, or more than others is RV with Robin Williams. It's not my favorite movie but it makes me laugh every time I see it so if I was stuck with one movie, it would have to be humorous.

   Oh what a nightmare to live without my movie collection! I would probably choose The Matrix, as science fiction movies are my first love.

    My Favorite Wife with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. But if I were allowed a couple extra they would be Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and The Philadelphia Story. Something about Cary Grant just does it for me .

       As korny as this may be - It would be Mama Mia....It's light, happy, loving, romantic, stars actually doing their singing. I'm a Streep fan as well as Brosnon - admiration to them for just "letting it go" - Would love to be part of the group dancing their way to the dock during "Dancing Queen"

       That one isn't bad, but it bothered me because it wasn't anything at all like the book.  The moral to that story is, "Don't read books and then see the movie."  Either read or see - don't do both.

    Ahh that's a hard question!! I would choose The Lord of the Rings... but I could just read the book for that and be content with never watching the movies cause I like the books so much more (they're my absolute favorite).
    
    So I think I'm gonna have to go with The Crow. I could NEVER get sick of that movie. Soooo many great lines!!

    Believe it or not, Disney's "Enchanted".  I love that movie and have already watched it several times (with my ex-husband, who also laughs about the fact that loves a movie "aimed at six-year-old girls"  ).  It's harmless. It's funny.  It's got some cute songs and the one romantic song.  The scenery is either pretty or uplifting.  It's got a nice message.  (I have to admit I'm kind of sick of it at this point, but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, that would it.)  I guess because it's just entertaining, and I'd be sick of watching the same serious story over and over.
