So What Are Your Favorite Movies?

I noticed that my sister has a slide show on her blog that has some of her favorite movies, and I thought to myself, "Hmmm, I wonder who else has those same favorite movies?"

Here are some of my all-time favs, meaning they are movies that I can watch again and again. Are any of them yours? (And yes, I do have a preference for older movies. So what. I knit and I like old movies. I'm not a granny by any means, lol!)

Movie Magic

I was so looking forward to watching these two movies when they came out, but it looks as though I'll have to wait for them to be released on DVD, as our pokey-ole town isn't going to be showing them. Grrrrrrr . . . . Oh well, perhaps you'll get to see them in your area!

Harry Potter Mania

I just love fantasy books, and I've been a fan of the Harry Potter books for quite some time. I think I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've read every book in the series at least 12 times. (Okay, I'm going to start getting all gushy over J.K. Rowling's books now, so you might want to skip this post . . .)

One of my favorite ways to enjoy Potter is to listen to them on the audio books. The narrator, Jim Dahl, is the best reader I've ever heard. The man is a genius with accents and voices. It's down right spooky!

Anyway, Andy took me to see the latest Harry Potter movie a few days ago, and I just LOVED it. This was a bit of a surprise, because it's my least favorite book. Whenever I read The Order of the Phoenix, I just want to give Harry a good slap and say, "quit whining and stop being so moody". Oh well, perhaps he's going through post-traumatic stress disorder, or something like that, after Cedric's death.

Anyway, I liked the movie so much I want to see it again. (Let me state, that unlike the normal Kahue, I do NOT usually see movies more than once.) The funny thing was, though, that the knitter in me was really thrilled with the movie, too. I kept seeing all these cool sweaters and hats I wanted to knit.

If you don't already know, there's a huge knitting group out there that likes to knit Harry Potter related paraphenalia. I think this movie is playing off that following, because the number of cool knits is amazing. Can't wait to try to knit Hermione's hat and scarf (I think Lion Brand Wool-Ease is just the right coloring . . .)

If you haven't noticed, I've put a count-down on my sidebar for the very last Harry Potter book. I've already warned Andy that he's going to have to babysit the kids this Saturday, because I'm going to temporarily quit motherhood. I plan to get the book as soon as Wal-mart opens, and read it straight through. When the Half-Blood Prince came out, I was able to read it in 7 hours. (Then I took my time and read it through again in 24. I really did try to read slow. It was just sooooo much fun!)

Can you tell I'm excited? Even knitting doesn't get me this worked up! (Well, okay, Malabrigo is close . . .)

My Fair Lady

Andy and I recently watched "My Fair Lady", and I fell in love with this wonderful musical all over again. (I can't believe I actually got Andy to sit and watch!!!!!). This is one of my favorite songs, because it's so funny. Hmmm, Andy really liked it too. Perhaps I should be concerned . . . .
