15 Movies That Will Stick With You

Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen movies you've seen that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me because I'm interested in seeing what movies my friends choose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note -- upper right hand side.) I hope you participate, even if you didn't get tagged!

1. Star Wars

2. The Sound of Music

3. The English Patient

4. Breakfast at Tiffany's

5. Mulan

6. That Darn Cat

7. Love Actually

8. Sense and Sensibility

9. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

10. Anne of Green Gables (technically a miniseries, but whatever)

11. Pride and Prejudice (again, a miniseries)

12. The Wizard of Oz

13. The Bourne Identity

14. While You Were Sleeping

15. Amelie

Runners-up: Garden State, The Sixth Sense, Rebecca, The Lion King, Troop Beverly Hills, and Far and Away
