A good movie would also include the oldies:

To Kill A Mockingbird

The Thin Man Series

Any Cary Grant movie will do.

Now on to not quite oldies but goodies:

Fletch w/ Chevy Chase (very quotable movie)

9 to 5

Private Benjamin

I know I am forgetting a ton of other funny but good ones.

And Little Miss Sunshine is great! Some really good laugh out loud scenes

I know of many other movies as good as these, but they tend toward snake/plane/spandex territory, like The Triplets of Belleville, Catch Me If You Can, or Pecker.

The Notebook.

Failure to Launch.

Just nice, easy movies. sammieswife.

Gregor.....was "Rabbit Proof Fence" about three little girls trying to escape from a terrible orphanage? The movie I'm thinking of had me "into it" for days after I saw it. Very haunting and throught-provoking, if it's the same movie.

I just saw a movie with a surprise ending on IFC a couple of weeks ago and I CANNOT recall the name of it! It was something about some kind of "Sisters" and took place in a Catholic girl's boarding school. Pretty intense!
