As You Wish
One of the most iconic lines in any movie "as you wish" is said. Anytime I hear it I always think of that movie. The acting is so good, the story is fun, the cast is serious and funny. Also if you watched it as a kid how can you not watch it when your home sick with a bowl of soup and as your seeing it not feel like that young kid all over again. one of my top 25 favorite movies of all time

So much nightmare worthy material
The Shining is a masterpiece is a lot of ways, Stanly Kubrick is Amazing
an Iconic Film. A must for the Horror fan. I highly recommend seeing the documentary on the visual tricks the film used, like the layout of the building and how it's impossible to actually be the way it is. Plus here's a alternate movie poster from Tom Whalen, one of my favorite movie poster creators.

Quote worthy and repeatable
This is a great movie for the whole family. Not only are there wonderful visual effects that entertain the younger watcher, there is the witty, quotable one liners for the more mature. The characters and their relationships with each other are believable on both sides of the Jumanji story. My favorite is Sheldon Oberon played by Jack Black. He played a fantastic teenage girl obsessed with herself. I can't count how often we have watched movie and enjoy it every time. I find that when my husband and I are quoting a movie scene for scene, it means we really like it.

The ending
It's so much more the alien movie.
Such a unique take on a genre that needed something original.
District 9 is one of the most original alien "invasion" movies out there. It was a serious breath of fresh air in a genre that tends to be so very cliche and repetitive. Don't get me wrong I love alien movies but you can only watch people get chased around and abducted so many times before you crave something different.
And at it's heart District 9 is so much more then just an alien movie it is a movie about immigrant and refugees and how the world tends to treat them.
My favorite part of the movie is the part that most people hated and that is the ending. I usually HATE open-ended ending but with District 9 I felt like it fit the movie so well that I couldn't be mad about it.
