Ann Armstrong's Top Ten Movies


These aren’t in any particular order. Viewing preference depends on my mood at the time. I could watch any of these over and over and in my book that’s the mark of good entertainment.

Harry Potter (2001 - 2011) Daniel Radcliffe  
             Loved the books and the movies did a pretty good job following the written story. 

Rear Window (1954) Jimmy Stewart
              Chilling every time I see it. 

Harvey (1950) Jimmy Stewart  
             Gentle, whimsical and a little sad

 • The Sixth Sense   (1999)   Bruce Willis            
            Best twist ever

Heart and Soul (1993)  Robert Downey, Jr.
            Robert Downey, Jr., for all his problems, can do just about anything.

Star Dust (2007)  Charlie Cox
          I’m a sucker for fantasy, magic and a little romance.

Remember the Titans (2000)  Denzel Washington
          Love rooting for the underdogs.

Cool Runnings (1993)  John Candy
           How can you not love these guys?

Star Trek   (2009)  Chris Pine
          Great casting.

The Princess Bride  (1987)  Cary Elwes 
          Best quotes ever.



These are keepers too….
Star Wars - (the original) At the time the special effects were simply amazing. 
Just about any Disney and Pixar movie – How can you choose just one
It’s a Wonderful Life – Sappy but I love it.
Frequency
American President
Care Bear Adventures in Wonderland – The boys used to watch this over and over and the “Hats” song is just great fun. Watch it below.

  1. Cool Runnings is the surprise star of these lists. Also: Heart and Soul is pretty dang good.

  2. Glad to see Stardust make it onto a list. One of my favorite movies - somehow I missed it. Always love a movie with a narrator.

  3. Great list! Heart and Soul is an oft-forgot gem. I just realized that Mike and I saw Stardust in Costa Rica... the first and last time we saw a movie dubbed in Spanish with no subtitles. Consequently I have very little idea what happened in that movie. I think your list has inspired us to put it on our Netflix queue!
