  1. Wow! That's a long list! To be perfectly honest, I'd say I've watched only just a little above half of those movies, but I do have favorites among the ones that I did. The classic Academy Awards winners like Ben-Hur and Casablanca are total works of art, but I also love light-hearted animation and fantasy adventure flicks like Toy Story and the Harry Potter series. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing!
