My current top 20(my favorites are always changing)...

1 ) The Princess Bride(this movie's just alot of fun to watch...)

2 )School of Rock(I like Jack Black,and the kids in the movie were great,too)

3 ) Mulan(I love the characters and setting)

4 ) The Nightmare Before Christmas(great characters,and the songs are awesome,too)

5 ) X2:X-Men United(I liked the sequel better,though I'm not sure quite why..)

6 )X-Men(really well done film;I was never really interested in the comics,or either animated series,but after seeing the movie,I was hooked...)

7-9 ) The Star Wars trilogy(I was never really into the movies as a child,but after seeing "Phantom Menace",I became interested in the franchise,and am now eagerly anticipating "Revenge of the Sith")

10 )Miss Congeniality(always makes me laugh...I'll probably see the sequel eventually)

11 ) The Lion King(great animation,characters,and songs)

12 )The Emperor's New Groove(really,really funny!!!...I love Kronk)

13 )Lilo and Stitch(funny,but also dramatic in places)

14 ) The Hunchback of Notre Dame(I like the darker tone of the movie,aside from the gargoyles...)

15 ) Spiderman(another great comic book movie)

16 )Spiderman 2(ditto...great ending,too)

17 )Pocahontas(I liked the songs,and that the film didn't have a "happily ever after" ending)

18 ) Inuyasha the movie 2:Castle Beyond the Looking Glass(I like the TV show,and this movie tells an interesting side-story,plus a first kiss for the main couple in the series)

19 ) The Wizard of OZ(a favorite childhood film)

20 ) South Park the Movie:Bigger,Longer,and Uncut(probably the most I've ever laughed at a film,though Team America and The Emperor's New Groove come close)...

1. Moulin Rouge - What can I say? Have you seen this movie?
2. The Fifth Element - I can’t really say why I like this movie so much...I just do.
3. The Little Mermaid - Although, watching it today, I can see things that they could’ve made better in some ways, this movie was really my favorite as a child and it has continued to be my favorite Disney movie today. While the movie is fiction, this is one of the only “Princess” movies where everything seems realistic. Disobedient children, overbearing parents, vengeful outcasts? Hmmm, where’ve I heard of those...
4. Saved! - This movie cracks me up and it’s one of my favorite religious movies. Too bad not many people have heard of it where I am. --;
5. The Incredibles - The ONLY Pixar movie that I absolutely adored and watched over and over. It was just so...AWESOME!
6. Spirited Away
7. Ninja Scroll
8. Hook - This movie took a story that I hate dearly and made it entertaining.
9. Kiki’s Delivery Service
10. A Series of Unfortunate Events - The books are much better, but I like this adaptation more than a lot of movie-book adaptations. *coughHarryPottercough*
11. Millennium Actress - Despite the fact that I have to read the subtitles, this is a REALLY good movie (to me).
12. The Passion of Christ - I’m glad they took the guts to show the completely true story, blood and all.
13. Mulan - I like girl power. End of story.
14. The Faculty - Excusing a few of the stupid parts (like the heads with tentacles), this movie pretty much makes the whole alien-takeover idea somewhat logical.
15. Sinbad - Legend of the Seven Seas - Eris MADE the story. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve hated it.
16. Coyote Ugly
17. The Nightmare Before Christmas - Although I do like this movie, I don’t rave over it like so many people out there do. It’s a good movie, fine. Although I can’t help but see resemblances between it an TLM (because I’m such a mermaid-addict)..
18. Ferngully: The Last Rainforest - Magi Lune.
19. The Lion King - Yeah, this movie is great, it’s just that its popularity kind of throws it off for me. Besides, I’ve never liked Timon and Pumbaa.
20. Roger & Hammerstein’s Cinderella - Putting the weird multi-racial families aside, this movie was so-so. Whereas most of the set was gaudy, the music more than made up for it.

I’m a big animation fan, whether it’s Dreamworks, Disney, Fox, Don Bluth, Anime, Pixar or whatever. It’s all good.
