Favorite Fantasy Movies

 I find the more I get into this favorite movie series, the harder it gets to not overlap or rename some movies from list to list but I do try my best to check the previous lists.  I would have thought that this list of fantasy movies would be my shortest ever since I'm not usually a bit fantasy fan but I was surprised to find I had more favorites than I thought. 



1. Harry Potter



2.Michael



3. Edward Scissorhands



4. Enchanted



5. The Princess Bride 



6. Field of Dreams



7. 13 Going on 30



8. Phenomenon



9. Powder

10. Teen Wolf


11. 16 Wishes



12. Hook



13. Night at the Museum 



14. Percy Jackson



15. Back to the Future



16. 17 Again

18. The Adam Project


19. Pleasantville



20. Zookeeper

    I have only watched 'The Princess Bride' which I totally love and '13 Going On 30'. I'll have to add more fantasy films to my list.

      My husband loves The Princess Bride and insisted all the boys watch it; that was the first time I had seen it.

      Oh I forgot about Honey I Shrunk the Kids; I loved that! I thought Neverending Story was much too long and boring (and truly felt like it would never end!) and feel much the same way about LOTR despite having some huge fans of the series in the house. But I know that fantasy is not really my genre.

    These are all light fantasy I think! I used to love Edward Scissorhands!

    I loved a lot of these movies, yet wouldn't have thought to call them all fantasy. Great list,

      Thanks! I rely a lot on Google to help me classify them; so many movies fall into so many categories that sometimes it's hard to decide where to put them.

    I've seen lots of these movies and had forgotten about Michael and Powder. I really liked those. Hook made me cry for some reason. Many, many good movies, here, Joanne!

    I haven't seen a lot of these movies. I am more a horror and thriller girl. But I love to go to the movies! Tonight actually, Oppenheimer! Enjoy your weekend.

      Oh that is definitely not a genre I watch (or read for that matter!).

    Ohh! What a great genre of movies which I hadn't even thought of. Harry Potter will always be my favourite fantasy movie but I do love a lot of these! I had totally forgotten about Michael and Phenomenon! John Travolta really is a great actor.

    This was a neat list: I have seen a lot of these but not all. I have only seen a couple of the Harry Potter movies.

      Oh I think we've watched them all countless times. My boys were obsessed with Harry Potter when they were younger and we read through the books and watched the movies several times.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Favorite Moments and Memories of 2024

Image
 Oh 2024... it was a challenging year for sure but we had so many fabulous moments and memories. I fully admit that many of my favorite memories this year have no pictures-- like Easter dinner with the family, Alec's acceptance day at JWU, etc. But I am more interested in being present these day then I am in getting the exact perfect photo. In January  we started the year with a big family breakfast out to lunch before my sister and nephews headed home. It's an awful picture but we were all laughing because my mom tried 4 times to get us all in there! Then a week or so later my husband and I did get to go on our cruise (we weren't sure right up until the last minute since my mother in law was in the hospital just before we left).  Roatan Grand Cayman We celebrated Alec's 18th birthday nearly a full month late in  February but he didn't mind. Evan got his license in February. And we checked out a new hiking trail. Alec presented his Senior Culinary Arts Project (SC...

Share 4 Somethings in December

Image
Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for the Share 4 Somethings link up with Jennifer. We're flying home (if all goes well with our connections we should be home tomorrow morning-- though I am REALLY worried about the "adjustment" the airline company made so we now have a much shorter connection time than we planned!) so this wrap up is pretty much all about our trip to Hawaii!  Once again we'll be sharing some things we've  loved and/or disliked, accomplished, some things we've improved upon and/or that need improvement, and noticed. Loved/Disliked:  We LOVED our Hawaii trip but we really disliked those long flights/travel days! sunset Maui top of Haleakala summit; Haleakala National park road to Hana Whales spotted on our snorkel tour, Maui botanical gardens; Maui Both our rentals had beautiful sunset views! volcano national park; Hawaii the volcano began erupting less than 2 days before we got there we hiked out to a green sand beach touring ...

Favorite Outfits from 2024

Image
 I thought I'd do something a little different this year and share some of my favorite outfits from each month of the year.  I got to wear some fun and bright spring/summer clothes on our cruise in January.   Then it was back home to sweater and pants.  It was well into April before I finally started packing away winter clothes and brought out some spring stuff.  But May found me mostly wearing long sleeves and pants.. still..  June finally warmed up and I wore everything-- shorts, skirts, dresses, capri pants, t-shirts, tank tops, etc.  July was pretty warm too August was really rainy and cooled off fast by the end of the month September started cooling off so I pulled out more pants  October's weather was all over the place with everything from frost and freezing temps to weather in the 80's.  November was kind of all over the place too weather-wise.  December really started to feel like winter again
