Here is the first in a series of top 10 lists that Ben and I are each posting.  I cheated a bit and listed both children and grown up lists.

Children’s movies:

1. The Lion King – Makes me think of Africa!  Love it.
2. Aladdin – This is a magical movie.  The genie is my favorite character.
3. The Little Mermaid – I am not sure why, but I love this movie!
4. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – Chocolate, candy and fun…who could ask for anything more.
5. The Wizard of Oz – A group of people you wouldn’t picture being great friends, but they are.  Reminds me of some of my groups of friends.
6. Finding Nemo – An underwater adventure filled with laughter and fun!
7. Horton Hears a Who – A classic Dr. Seuss movie, my favorite children’s author.
8. Mary Poppins – A spoon full of sugar…
9. Sandlot – You’re killing me Smalls…a great movie to quote.
10. E.T. – This was a favorite as a kid, but I honestly have not seen it since then.  We watched it so much, we wore the tape out!

Grown Up Movies:

1. Cool Runnings – I used to watch this movie over and over in Emily’s basement…good times!
2. Dirty Dancing – Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
3. Pretty Woman – I love me some Julia Roberts
4. Billy Madison – A classic watched with my dear friend Gretchen.  We worked for hours to get the “stair” dance down, never quite got it!
5. Shawshank Redemption – A wonderful movie that makes you think.
6. Schindler’s List – Just re-watched this one with Ben, really makes you wonder how anyone could be so cruel.
7. Hotel Rwanda – I cried very hard the first time I saw this one, and the second, and the third…you get the picture.
8. Blood Diamond – I am realizing I have some depressing ones, sorry but I love them.
9. Friends (The Series) on DVD – I went through almost the entire series while I was pregnant with Mikayla.  Then finished the rest off while nursing her at night.  I had it completed by the time she was one month old…is that depressing?
10. Grease – I think I can sing every song in this movie!  Another classic, must see!
