For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

The Princess Bride. It has great comedy, action, and romance. It’s influenced my sense of humor and it’s just so much fun.

I watched that with my girlfriend who had never seen it. After hyping it up I had a real “just wait it gets funny” feeling the whole time. Not as good as I remember.

I’ve definitely watched it recently and still enjoy it just as much. But also, your sense of humor can change over time so it probably just doesn’t fit what you like anymore.

I showed it to my fiance and while I ADORED the rewatch he was very meh and I was questioning him as a person. Then one day he asked me to watch it again so he could watch Andre the Giant again. And then, I'm convinced, it spoke to him and showed him the magic. He loved it. Quoted it. And will watch it with me when I have it on.

I really think mindset and willingness to dive into it is a necessity.

God, what a beautiful movie.

I have a theory that movie is only funny if you grew up watching it. I saw it for the first time in my late 20s and just could not get into it. I'm sure I have favorites like that, too, and maybe I wasn't in the perfect mood at the time.

Sounds interesting, but I need to know if this is a kissing book.

I've been listening to Cary Elwes' book "As You Wish" on audiobook. I haven't finished it yet, but i'm loving it so far.

Absolutely agree. Have really enjoyed passing it on to my two girls as well.
