- Little Miss Sunshine - Fantastic music, fantastic acting, and a hilarious plot? Yes, please. This is actually one of my favorite movies.
- Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and The Spy Who Shagged Me - I don't know why I even like Austin Powers movies. They're ridiculously stupid and crass... oh wait. That must be why I like them. Never mind. (Note: Goldmember was left off intentionally. Beyonce may be a musical goddess, but she is not an actress.)
- Practical Magic - All throughout the year I have to refrain from watching this all the time. I make myself wait until September to put it on because I don't want to ruin the special-ness. BTW, I've watched it 3 times so far and September isn't over yet.
- Moulin Rouge - Obviously, I love musicals. This one, though, I could watch every day and not get either depressed (hello, Les Miserables) or sick of the music (*ahem* ANNNIE!).
- Legally Blonde - I have no shame. I like the movie, and I like the musical even though I don't want to.
- Breakfast at Tiffany's - Holly Golightly: arguably one of the cutest and most likable characters ever written. She also manages to be the paragon of classy women, even though she's totally a call girl. Did you know Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe to have the part? That would have sucked. Sorry. Not a Marilyn fan.
- Miss Congeniality - This is one of those movies that used to play constantly on TBS, and I am confident that I watched it in its entirety every single time it was on for about 2 years.
- Amelie - I don't need the subtitles. I just like the way this movie makes me feel. Can't be in a bad mood with Amelie!
- Anchorman - It seems almost sacrilegious to put Anchorman on the same list as Breakfast at Tiffany's, but I can't help it. Ron Burgundy is hilarious. Their rendition of "Afternoon Delight" makes me laugh every time.
- This one's risky because I just saw it for the first time, but I can tell it's going to be a re-watch: Moonrise Kingdom - Wes Anderson, you beautiful genius! No one does color and light like Wes Anderson. I can't possibly feel down watching his movies. They're beautiful and witty. My favorite quote from this one is, "I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about."
- Bowman

Awesome list! Sad to say we didn't have any of the time same ones. Hahahaha! Guess we ain't friends. I do however agree with many of your choices! And I recently put Moonrise Kingdom on my list, and have been wanting to see it for a while! Didn't know it was on the Netflix! I can't wait to watch it!!
