Ninja Captain Alex's Top Ten Movie Countdown Blogfest

03/18/2013

I love movies. When Alex Cavanaugh posted an invitation to blog about favorite movies, I signed up immediately!

My problem is that I have too many favorites. So, I'm going to narrow this baby down to my all time favorite ROMANCE movies. I don't think I picked out the traditional ones. I like my romance movies sad, funny, nostalgic,and quirky.

Have you seen any of these romance movies? Silver Linings Playbook is my pick for this year. I've seen all the others several times. Meet Joe Black may be the oddest one on my list.

While you're here, you should enter my giveaway located in the Rafflecopter below. Then visit someone else on the blog hop!

The Princess Bride just missed being on my top list. And When Harry Met Sally is a classic.
Thanks for participating in my blgofest!

I love Meet Joe Black; it is such a great movie and so many people I know have never heard of it. The Princess Bride is also totally awesome :).

Great idea to pick a genre. I too was glad to see 'Meet Joe Black'. That was a great film - 'death and taxes' ha!

Princess Bride rocks! Romeo and Juliet was so well done, too. So many great choices. I like how you went all romance. I mixed mine up a bit. I really need to see Silver Linings!

Princess Bride remains my favourite. I was a fan when the movie was in the theatre, long before it became a classic.

Oh how I love your list. Some of my favorites are here as well, only I forgot about them.

I adore Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. I don't even much like the play, but that version is just rich with visuals and excellent acting. Didn't hurt that I was 16 when it came out and Leonardo DiCaprio was oh so dreamy. lol. Great list.

You've got three of my wife's favorites on the list, Brinda: Princess Bride, Geisha, and Silver Linings. I actually love all three of those movies as well. (Convenient! :)

One of my favorite romantic comedies from last year was Safety Not Guaranteed. Very funny and cute.

So many great ones! It was super hard coming up with a list.

Memoirs of A Geisha was a beautiful adaptation. The cinematography in that movie was stunning. Great choice!

I went for romance too. great choices on your list!

I've seen most of them, Brinda, and will say my favourite would have to be The Princess Bride, even though I like Meet Joe Black too because it was different and I love Anthony Hopkins and well, Brad Pitt, what's not to like.

I've always had a soft spot for Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing (nobody puts Baby in a corner!), and I adore The Princess Bride.

I love that version of Romeo and Juliet. Clair Danes and Leo were so beautiful together. Great list.

Lynn Rush link

You've Got Mail is just the sweetest movie, isn't it?

David P. King link

Throwing out that list, Poster Style. That's what I'm talking about. Nicely played. :)

Godfather I & II, ALL Indiana Jones, The Princess Bride, Terms of Endearment ... and ... Oh, I could go on ... well you know I LOVE movies :)

I'm not much for romances, but Princess Bride is always a good one.

OMG Mee Joe Black! LOVE that one..it slipped my mind during this list. Brad Pitt as death..great movie.

Good choices. I loved 17 again, even though I didn't think I would. Thought it would be too cheesy. Zac surprised me by being good in it. And Memoirs of a Geisha made me cry and cry.

Tami Clayton

03/19/2013 1:40am

When Harry Met Sally and Chocolat are two at the top of my list. I loved Silver Linings Playbook, too. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence were stellar in it.

Shelley Munro link

03/19/2013 2:30am

Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing would make my list. I never really liked You've Got Mail. What about Sleepless in Seattle?

Michael Offutt link

03/19/2013 9:53am

hehehe I love quoting lines from "As Good As It Gets"

Mike Schulenberg link

03/19/2013 4:41pm

I actually haven't seen most of these. 'The Princess Bride' is a classic, though :)

Jill Archer link

03/19/2013 9:42pm

Fun idea! I've seen all of them except Romeo + Juliet. Hope you're having a great week, Brinda!

I do have to admit that "Pretty Woman" and "Dirty Dancing" are some of my fav films. I would've added "Atonement" to the list.

LOVE this list! Some I haven't seen; I'm dying to watch Silver Linings Playlist. But I couldn't agree more about You've Got Mail, Pretty Woman, and The Princess Bride :D

Princess Bride! I wish I'd remembered that one for my list. It's one of my favourites. Oh why was the limit ten movies!

I've heard good things about Meet Joe Black and I still haven't seen it yet! I'll have to put that on my to-see-someday list.
