The Twenty-Second One

Three movies I can watch and watch and watch and never tire of (aka. the default movie list):

The Princess Bride
The best thing about this movie: it's absolutely, perfectly cast. The actors and actresses truly inhabit the characters they portray. Everything about this movie is delightful. Including the book it's based on. Reading the book only made me appreciate the movie more.

Pride and Prejudice
I know some of you are thinking, "But wait! That's not the BBC miniseries!" And you would be correct. I love this movie even more than the miniseries. It includes all the best dialogue (the only part of Jane Austen's books I like) with some of the most beautiful cinematography I have ever seen. It is beautiful and fun and entirely charming.

Die Hard
If this wasn't a list of three, I would go ahead and add all (even Live Free or Die Hard) to the list as well. Love this movie. John McClane doesn't get old, ever.
