So, this will probably be harder for some than others (*files self under the 'it's hard' heading*), but out of curiosity...

What is/are your favorite NON-Disney movie(s)? Reasons why are optional. I'll answer, but not yet; I don't want to be the first respondant to my own question. Smile

You mean favorite non-Disney animated movies? Or just favorite movies that isn't Disney in general? You're going to get dorky answers and movies either way Laughing

It could take a while, because I like a great deal of movies that aren't Disney or even animated and I have a poor memory.

Animated:
-Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas; (I'll say it: I LIKE THIS BETTER THAN I LIKE SHREK!) Shrek is one of those movies you laugh at when you see it, talk about it afterwards for a few days and then never watch again unless some teacher brings it in trying to be cool and in touch with the kiddies. I can watch Sinbad over and over again and it's considered their worst one.
-Just about all the Don Bluth films even though I haven't seen them in forever. All Dogs Go To Heaven, Land Before Time (THE FIRST ONE! NOT THE 20934023 sequels that came afterwards!!), etc. The only one that makes me go "WTF?" is The Pebble and the Penguin.
-Rover Dangerfield; This was the only reason I was able to catch Genie's Rodney Dangerfield reference in Aladdin Laughing

-...ghee, when you take away Disney, there isn't much left Laughing

. I like a lot of animated TV movies and stop motion Christmas films, too, but there's too many to list.

Non-animated:
-Clueless
-Big Daddy
-As Good As It Gets
-Men in Black
-Malibu's Most Wanted (total crack film, but I love it Laughing

)
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (FYI, we'd be here forever if we named all the Christmas films I love Laughing

)
-Head of State
-Down to Earth
-Peter Pan (the lastest live-action one, so ha)
-Jumanji
-Mrs. Doubtfire
-School of Rock
-Holiday Inn (a classic black and white 1940s film with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby Cool

)

I like comedy; can't you tell? Laughing

The live-action Peter Pan was awesome. Much better than Disney's. I'm kinda with Janette on that one - Disney completely spoiled it.

I just like Peter Pan in general, so I pretty much take any version of it you give me. Like Robin Williams in Hook? LOVE IT. It was on the other day and I was watching it Laughing

. That's another favorite of mine.

Ah, Robin Williams in Hook... *squibbles happily*

See, that's why I didn't bother listing my favorite movies.
