I had this funny picture in my head of a freak-show barker shouting, "Come, See a Real Live Preacher".

These movies were recommended three or more times in the comments to my movie post.

Movies Recommended 5 Times

Say Anything - Cameron Crowe is a genius. Sure it’s about teenagers, but it’s also about the rest of us.

Wings of Desire - the scene with the people on the bus, who are in despair, and don't know the angels are sitting next to them. They don't recover from their despair, but the do feel just a tiny bit better, they have the courage to go on. And Columbo, as the fallen angel, who sketches. Love it.

Shawshank Redemption

Movies Recommended 4 Times

Being John Malkovich

Brazil - Very beautiful and funny and sad at the same time... It's one of those films I can watch endlessly, waiting for the epiphany that will make it all make perfect sense, then I realize that the sense of confusion and disorientation has been woven in to the story intentionally. DO NOT get the edit version that loses an hour and has a terrible ending.

Raising Arizona - probably my all time favorite 'quirky' movie. The supermarket scene with the Pampers has me laughing to the point of tears every time

Spirited Away – An absolute treasure. The animation is gorgeous, and I totally love the idea of the Bathhouse of the Spirits.

Waking Ned Devine

Movies Recommended 3 Times

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - Made by Terry Gilliam, one of the members of Monty Python. It's something your kids will no doubt enjoy too. Classic adventure fantasy set in a mythological France during the 1700s. Robin Williams plays the moon god in this.

Amelie

Best in show

The fisher king

Ghostworld -- GREAT FILM!

High fidelity

Hudson Hawk - There are apparently two types of people in this world; those who adored "Hudson Hawk", and those who hated it. I loooooove that movie.

Pi - This one's great. It's all about the theory that there's a mathematical equation that can unlock the order of the very fabric of reality. If you liked Waking Life, you'll probably love this one.

O Brother Where Art Thou

Seven Samuri - if you haven't seen this great movie, its worth it. There is a man in there that has a facial expression that every time I see makes me laugh. Not because its funny in itself. But if you took a thousand people and lined em up, and told them something horrible was about to happen to them, this guy would win hands down.
