Favourite Movies

"One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory."--Rita Mae Brown

First, to clear up a possible misconception: these are not movie reviews. They're not even movie recommendations. I don't see enough movies to have much discernment. Besides, I have trouble remembering what I've seen in the last 10 years, unlike most everyone else. (Joe and I have determined that I have probably seen fewer than 100 movies in my life. I'm surprised I've seen that many.)

Second, I do watch animé but those are listed separately under animé reviews.

On the other hand, I enjoy the ones I like, which is as much as one can hope for, despite the partial tautology. What I've listed are the ones I'd consent to see again.

sf/f: Aladdin; Back to the Future (and sequels); Batman; Beauty and the Beast; Dark City; Dark Crystal; El Dorado; Galaxy Quest; Gattaca; The Incredibles; Labyrinth; The Last Unicorn; Lilo and Stitch; The Matrix; Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail; The Princess Bride; Ratatouille; Robin Hood (the Disney one with foxes!); Shrek; Space Balls
Star Trek: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
math-related (why, yes, this is a category to me): A Beautiful Mind (yes, I've read Nasar's biography, and yes, I realize this bears very little resemblance to reality); Stand and Deliver
