I thought this was interesting because – being politically aligned with a group clearly doesn’t mean similar choices in entertainment. I participated in John Hawkin’s survey of conservative bloggers’ favorite movies, and only two of mine (The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King) made the cut. The rest were generally movies I enjoyed, but not really favorites. What do you think – is the list a good reflection of your favorite movies?

Equilibrium never makes these lists even though it should probably be at the top.
.-= ECM´s last blog ..Sheer Boredom =-.
So what other movies did you pick?
.-= Beverly Lynn´s last blog ..Laughing out loud. In real life! =-.
My picks were:
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
12 Angry Men
True Lies
Independence Day
The Fellowship of the Rings
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
The Quiet Man
Oscar (a really funny comedy of manners starring, of all people, Sylvester Stallone. Go figure.)
Adam’s Rib
Somehow I didn’t think to include anything by Mel Brooks or Monty Python – I’m not sure why, because I really love quite a few of those movies. Also: Hellfighters, with John Wayne. How to Marry a Millionaire & Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with Marilyn Monroe.
What are your favorite movies? (And ECM, I just added Equilibrium to my Netflix queue, thanks!)
I am not sure that these rank top of “all time” but my favorite movies are “Stranger than Fiction” and “Finding Neverland. ” I do love the LOTR movies, but other than those, I am ashamed to admit that I havent seen many of the movies on your list. I will have to go hunt some of those down.
