1. Singing in the Rain
2. The Pirates of Penzance(Kevin Kline)
3. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm(Shirley Temple
4. Holiday Inn(Crosby, Astaire)
5. Grease
6. Mulan
7. The Little Mermaid
8. Much Ado About Nothing (Branaugh)
9. My Best Friend's Wedding
10.Pride and Prejudice (Olivier-40's)
11.Anne of Green Gables (Canadian)
12.The Lord of the Rings
13.There's Something About Mary
15.A League of their Own
16.It Happened One Night
17.Sense and Sensibility
18.What About Bob?
19.The Parent Trap (Haley Mills version)
20.Clueless
21.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(30's)

It makes me feel better just thinking about these movies! The Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Back to the Future Trilogies are great escapist entertainment too.

The Truman Show - Always gives me the idea that I just might be the center of the world...
Jerry Maguire - Works every time.
As well as a load of different comedies and especially Kevin Smith's films.
