My favorites from your list that I've seen...

1. Twilight..Like DUH!!!
2. The Dark Knight
3. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
4. The Other Boleyn Girl

Okay, small confession about your list...Your favorite was my least Favorite...{Don't throw anything!!!!} {I'm sorry!!!!}

Reason being was I just didnt like the whole "brother/sister" thing about helping her out. Even in theroy. But, I did like it, it just wasnt my fave.


As for the others I havent seen but the duchess is on my list along with the new Brad Pitt.
Make sure you post stuff about your party!!

Wow, I am envious that you have seen all of these. I have only seen 1,2,3 and 6 on your Best Films list, and though my order would be a bit different than yours, I thought they were good. I will definitely have to see some of the others on your list. I am especially interested in The Duchess and Cranford. You know I love those British period dramas. :-)

P.S. Would you mind telling me why you liked John Adams? I have heard other people say it is great, but never for any specific reason.

Tierra/Cristy:

Just a word of warning about the Duchess - I decided to tack it on to the end of my list mostly because of all the costumes and scenery. It is based on a true story, but it isn't exactly a "happy" movie. Just wanted you to be forewarned. That being said, I hope you like it. Kierra Knightley does an excellent job.

Cristy - a John Adams review to come soon!

I have to say I've only seen two of the movies on your list -- Kit & Wall-E. I do want to see several of the movies on your list. We don't go to the movies much so I usually get them from the library. I'll have to make sure I check them out.
