Yes, my two favorite movies are musicals. I don't know, there's just something about people randomly breaking into song and dance (accompanied by full orchestra out of nowhere) that's really special for me!

Get ready for romance! And comedy, and heartbreak, and some of the best drunk scenes of all time.

We've got both British monarchs and American founding fathers today! Hopefully we can include them both in one post without starting a brawl.

Today: One of the funniest movies ever made, and one of the soapiest!

First of all, thanks to mosinging1986 for suggesting that this project have a tag of its own. I think it's a great idea and I should have thought of it before. So I came up with "top 20 movies" as a tag (because I'm creative like that), and hopefully it will be helpful to anyone who wants to refer back to these posts when looking for something to watch.

( On to #18 and #17! )

ABC is running a Best in Film special tonight, and I'm posting a list of my 20 favorite movies. The two events are not related. Actually, I had the idea before I heard about the special -- though I'll probably watch it and fume about it, much as I used to watch and fume about the old AFI movie list shows.

I just think it's fun to make lists -- not least because it helps me avoid doing actual work. But it's hard in its own way. I'm still not certain that this list is exactly the way I want it, and a few months from now I may revisit it and do some rearranging. In fact, there's a good chance I'll end up fuming over my OWN list. That seems to be the nature of these things.

I'm not calling this a meme, because I'm not sure whether anyone else is OCD enough to make a list of 20 favorite movies, but you may treat it as one and make your own list if you so desire! Maybe we'll all end up getting some good suggestions from each other.

( In order, then, from #20 to #1: )
