Much as I'd love to be sophisticated and cultured, I'm a bit mainstream in my film tastes.
Gregory's Girl - my very favourite movie of all time, it came out just as I was a teenager in a school in Glasgow, it was amazing seeing what my reality was on the big screen.
The English Patient - because Kristin Scott Thomas and Ralph Fiennes are just so in love.
Four Weddings and a Funeral - Hugh Grant, oh I so would
Braveheart - because I'm parochial, we all know that
Love Actually - because it makes me happy and I am a Christmas fanatic.
Sleepless in Seattle - oh the romance thaaang again, my name is auntiegwen and I am a mush junkie
Elf - who could not love Elf?
Cinema Paradiso - so so beautiful
Rocky Horror Picture Show - because I'm just a sweet transvestite (I'm not really)
Grease - more romance but less sickly sweet than some of the others
The Commitments - ooh it makes me laugh out loud, still, even now
Would you like to pop round your aunties and watch a movie? You can bring one or eleven of your own.

SueAnn
I'll bring along Steel Magnolias and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
Will there be popcorn? I've heard it does'nt have calories so I've decided to eat tons of it...ps
can I nick this idea for my place?
I enjoy Gregory's Girl, too. It still makes me laugh.
Great choices! And I so agree about Elf, I tried for years to not watch it and I'm not that big on christmas movies but I gave in eventually. Now The silly season is not the same without it.
Well I hardly know you but if you're putting the kettle on....
(just not Braveheart though).
I'll take at least 5 of them and my guess is it's only 5 becuase I haven't seen the rest!! Sounds like a bottle of wine night.
I love all of them.Do you like Le Petit Nicolas?
I pretty much like all of those. Films you can watch over and over again...lovely!
Pinching this list for my blog :) it needs lightening up these days :)and fab list anutiegwen, x
Of all those brilliant films, probably 'Love Actually' I enjoyed as just quality, all round British entertainment.

Love this idea might pinch I might pinch it myself. Can't decide between Hugh Grant in 4weddings or All about the boy. I'd have to have Some like it hot, maybe Monsieur Hulots Holiday n , oh this is really hard, can I have more than 11 we are proper film addicts here.
Gosh Auntie - you're an old romantic at heart! (Not so sure about that Hugh Grant comment tho'!!)
The Commitments is my favourite film ever. Having lived a while in Dublin, and all my relatives coming from there I can relate to it.Rocky Horror is also okay though I prefer the live version. The last time it came to the island I dressed up as Frankenferter. My wife made me a basque and managed to find me heels. The lloks I got walking down Strand Street in Douglas were amazing and I ws stopped by the police....just for a chat I must add.....Brilliant fun.
Sorry everyone I thought I had commented in reply.
I am a crap auntie, please pop round, I now have a projector thingy and we can watch the film on the wall, it's better than being at the pictures as you can have your feet up on the sofa and be in your jammies with a fleecy blanket.
I have family size tins of quality street and industrial size vats of wine.
And I'll let you pick the film...
