"Lawrence of Arabia".  Have watched it several times.  Not exactly certain of the attraction....find it a great movie.

Same for "Doctor Zhivago".

"Jungle Book"  -  love the characters and the music.

"Star Wars"  (the original, aka A New Hope) - simply the movie that, perhaps more than any other, got me excited about movies, even if I think the first sequel (The Empire Strikes Back) is overall a better movie. Seeing it takes me back to when I was twelve, less cynical, and more open than ever to going "WOW!"

"Monty Python's Life of Brian" - yes, I do think this is quite simply one of the best comedies I have ever seen, however it has also got me through some rough patches simply by raising my spirits and getting me laughing and reminding me not to take things too seriously.

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" - ditto

This may be the strangest movie anyone is likely to mention but "Valley Girl" featuring a very young Nicholas Cage. As a movie it was only so-so but as an 80's time capsule I really like it and I am a child of the 80's.

Hi GO_3838,

One of my favourite movies is 1955's The Dam Busters.  My uncle, whom I greatly admired served on Lancs during the second world war.  I watched it for the first time with him after he lent me his copy of Guy Gibson's "Enemy Coast Ahead" which he claimed was a better account than Paul Brickhill's book "The Dam Busters.

I can't think of any other movie that I associate with significant events in my life save for the Green Lantern movie which coincided with a very sharp and immediate sense of disappointment.

Grace and peace to you.

Beau Guste - I think it came out in the 1930s, about the same time as Gone With the Wind (another favourite).  I saw it in the Orange Hall in my village around 1949.  All that summer my sister, brother, friends and I played French Foreign Legion in our back yard - turning the woodshed into a desert fort, making wooden swords, racing around the yard.    I probably didn't understand the story until I saw it on TV years later - but I knew that the brothers were the good guys, the sargeant was intelligent but cruel, and it was sad when the heros were killed.  (One brother was given a 'viking funeral' with the dead sargeant taking the place of a dog at his feet.)

Great movie.  Great memories of my childhood - full of outdoor play and imagination.

Welcome to Mooseport was filmed in my hometown and I had a chance (that I sadly could not take) to be an extra in it.  It's not a very good movie, but it sure is fun to watch Gene Hackman, Ray Romano, Christine Baranski, and Marcia Gay Harden traipsing around my town!

I loved musicals when I was younger.  Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music, The King and I, West Side Story, Grease, etc..... I think lots of other people must have too because we all seemed to love Mama Mia when it came out. They're just fun and some really great songs came out of them.

The old version (June Allyson, Margaret OBrian and ????) in Little Women.

My all time favourite movie is Jesus Christ Superstar. The symbolism I'd great and it is Canadian.

Overall, I'm there with you musicsooths save on one point: I wish they had used more of the original cast. Only Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene) and Barry Donnen (Pilate) carried over. No offense to Carl Anderson and Ted Nealy, who did well with their roles in the film, but Murray Head as Judas and Ian Gillen as Jesus killed it on the original album.

Closing in on 25 years ago now the very first date I ever took my now wife on was to the Victoria Terrace Theatre in East York, Ontario to see National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. A very funny movie and very good memories. And, I would say, a very significant event in my life.

We only had a few VHS tapes (movies) growing up so I was able to enjoy them repeatedly: Annie, Uncle Buck, and K9.  We also had "The Sound of Music" but it was too long to watch it repeatedly.  We also had "Total Recall" which I thought was a little too mature for me.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Totally silly teen movie. At the time, the funniest movie I'd ever seen. I think I saw it 2 or 3 times at the theatre.

E.T. Good memories is all. Nothing specific- except in those days they let us bring our own popcorn!

Dr. Zivago - I first saw it in a drive-in theatre with some frien ds.  The next week Seelerman and I saw it.  I try never to miss it on TV.   Sad story.  Beautiful scenery.  Haunting music.
