I like movies and I have watched quite a few.  When I came to compiling a list, I found great difficulty in trying to categorize or even narrow down my "favourite" movie.  I decided on two lists:  The Shelley's 10 most watched movies and then Shelley's top ten favourites. These may change as I think about it more. Here they are:

Shelley's 10 Most Watched Movies:
   ( from most to least)
1.  The  Adventures of Robin Hood
      (Karen informs me I used to watch it everyday after school for a while-nah)
2.   The  Original Star Wars Trilogy
      (With "Return of the Jedi being the one I watched most-I grouped them together to save space on the list)
3.   The  Princess Bride
            (The fact that my entire family could act out the whole thing is testament to this)
4.   The Court Jester/The  Inspector General
      ( Two Danny Kaye movies--The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pessel...I could go on, but I won't)
5.   Flight of the  Navigator
      (Not well known, but a family favourite-You crashed while looking at flowers?  Sounds like you're the inferior species!!))
6.   Dumbo
           (A laughable tear-jerker.  We tested the freeze frame abilities of the VCR in the scene where Dumbo and Timothy get drunk--try it you'll laugh)
7.   Captain Blood
      ( Another Erroyl Flynn/Olivia D'Havailland adventure movie.  So I like the classics!)
8.   The Little Mermaid/An American Tale II: Fieval Goes West
       (During my babysitting days.  I could include Peter Pan, the cartoon Robin Hood and Ninja Turtles here too, but I'm not proud of it)
9.    Yellow Submarine
      {Where I must have developed my love for Beatle music, where you learn all you need is love to defeat the blue meanies, a push of a button can have drastic consequences and where I learned PhD is pronounced "PHUD"--the inspiration for the fish of the same name (see Bonnie's World)}
10.   The  Three Muskeeters/ The Man in The Iron Mask
        ( The ones I have probably watched most in recent years, but they can't catch up with years of childhood movie watching--yet)
 

1.   The Original Star Wars
        (It's engrained in my life-I wanted to be Luke)
2.   The Princess  Bride
        (It has it all...fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles, and a pretty cute farm boy)
3.   The Adventures of Robin Hood
        (full of heroics and comedy...and erroyl flynn-dashing on screen if not in real life)
4.  The Man in the Iron Mask
        ( great soundtrack, perfect casting, except Leo DeCrap, and a better ending than the original novel)
5.   The Court Jester
        ( a spoof on adventure movies, good comedic songs and hilarious situations)
6.   Amadeus
        (and excellent attempt to explain the man behind the music and full of costumes of the period)
7.  The Scarlett Pimpernel
     (a really old movie with Leslie Howard-They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere...)
8.   A Night at the Opera
        (the marx bros. - geniuses of comedy and very musically talented as well)
9.   The Hunt for Red October
        (I love sub movies and this is one of the best)
10. My Fair Lady
        ( I had to have on musical on the list-The rain in spain falls mainly on the plains-isn't it loverly...)
