Love everyone's lists.
As to "Love Actually", I have no idea why its a favorite of mine but it is. So? I watched it alot and now change the language to "French" so that I can try to learn a bit of French...

I would like to add to "Two for the Road" another VERY different, but also travelling film: "The Man Who Would Be King" and, for a sea voyage ('cause there are multi-episodes) "The Flame Trees of Thika". Then, of course, we shouldn't leave out "Around the World in Eighty Days".

If they could get the full 6 episode BBC version of &quot;Pride and Prejudice,&quot; I'd watch it over and over - and only have to watch it twice!

&quot;Oh my, how could I have forgotten about Blazing Saddles.&quot;

For Penance, may I suggest you read from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and Duck!

Fun thread...

If I had to view only ONE movie it would be a tie between LOTR: The Two Towers and A&amp;Es 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice.

Depending on where I'm going, I'd enjoy viewing any of the following:

LOTR Trilogy
Pride &amp; Prejudice - both versions, I'm starting to appreciate the newer one as much as A&amp;Es version. Wow!
Inn of the 6th Happiness - loved this one since I was a little girl
Sabrina - both versions
To Catch a Thief - Cary and Grace - oh!
for LOL - 4 Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill &amp; Bridget Jones Diary
Witness
Thomas Crown Affair - Steamy!
7 Years in Tibet
Apollo 13
Braveheart
Chocolat
Awakenings
Memoirs of a Geisha - surprisingly loved this one

Okay, too many movies, not enough time...

Quite right, I'm thinking of A&amp;E, not BBC, for Pride and Prejudice - it's the one with Colin Firth.

Our favorite line to repeat around the house: &quot;You are quite dull this evening, Miss Elizabeth Bennett.&quot;

For some reason this question makes me think of watching a &quot;Thin Man&quot; marathon. However, &quot;The Third Man&quot; also sounds perfect ... wish the airline was showing that on a November flight to Vienna that I once took. Anything but a &quot;Anchorman&quot;/&quot;Bewitched&quot; double feature, which is what I got on the way to Rome in October.

Now if only the airline would serve martinis with that marathon! Good choice,

For an airplane, I think I would pick something dull and boring so I could get some sleep. A lecture by my macro-economics prof comes to mind.

If &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot; were being shown we ladies could promenade up and down the aisle arm in arm.
