[quote="Ariellen"]So, this will probably be harder for some than others (*files self under the 'it's hard' heading*), but out of curiosity... What is/are your favorite NON-Disney movie(s)? Reasons why are optional. I'll answer, but not yet; I don't want to be the first respondant to my own question. :)[/quote]

Going to give it a shot at remembering all the movies I like...
The Princess Bride- (I'm a sucker for romantic, fractured fairy-tales.)
Moulin Rouge!- (I play the music constantly on my MP3 player.)
The movies of Jim Henson- (the ones featuring the Muppets and his darker fantasy movies)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail- (I quote this movie whenever and wherever. I even have two coconut halves that I bang together. It annoys my mother and little sister.)
The Studio Ghibli movies- (I've yet to find one that I don't like.)
The Court Jester- (Yes, Janette. You're not alone in liking this movie and Danny Kaye.)
Both screen versions of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
Edward Scissorhands- (a bittersweet fairy tale.)
The Shrek movies (see "The Princess Bride")
I'll come up with more later...

~The Princess Bride
~Peter Pan (with Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Richard as Hook)
~Hook
~Peter Pan (with Jason Isaacs as Hook)
~Finding Neverland (I have the same love-for-Peter Pan as AG...)
~Spider-Man/Spider-Man 2
~Back to the Future trilogy
~Spaceballs
~Moulin Rouge!
~The Wedding Singer (I am not normally an Adam Sandler fan, but I love this movie to pieces!)
~West Side Story
~The Wizard of Oz
~The Sound of Music
I can think of tons more that I like, but that's a decent number, I think...I know I could probably watch any of those several times in a row without getting bored.

Romy & Michele's High School Reunion
That's the first rated R movie I saw on accident at 13. My mom thought it was one of those teeny booper movies that was coming out at the time. Boy was she wrong
I was in my junior year of high school when it first came out, and I wanted to see it. Unfortunately, I didn't get that chance until I saw it on TV a few years ago. I didn't even know it was rated R (or at least I didn't remember) until I looked at the DVD case.

Yay! I get to mention some of my other favourites!
Mean Girls
Romy & Michele's High School Reunion
Grease
Mrs. Doubtfire
He-Man & She-Ra: Secret of the Sword
Dirty Dancing
Pretty Woman
Rainbow Brite & the Star Stealers
Truly Outrageous (the Jem movie, which also makes up the first five episodes of the series)
Sixteen Candles
Back to the Future (all three)
Clueless
Legally Blonde
Kindergarten Cop
Spaceballs
Men in Tights
Groundhog Day
Born Yesterday
Adventures in Babysitting
That's all I can think of at the moment. I wanted to mention the Care Bears movies I like, but I wasn't sure if they qualify since Disney owns Care Bears, or something.

And for others...
Starting with Dreamworks.

-The Road to El Dorado
Tim Burton.
-The Nightmare Before Christmas. (I know Disney has their label on it, and Henry Selick directed it, but it's still a Burton.)
-Corpse Bride. (It took me a bit to get used to it, but once you've seen it twice or three times you start to understand it a LOT better.)
-Beetlejuice.
-Big Fish.
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...ish.
Some other guys.
-Wonder Man. (1945, stars Danny Kaye.)

I just like Peter Pan in general, so I pretty much take any version of it you give me. Like Robin Williams in Hook? LOVE IT. It was on the other day and I was watching it
. That's another favorite of mine.

The live-action Peter Pan was awesome. Much better than Disney's. I'm kinda with Janette on that one - Disney completely spoiled it.

Animated:
-Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas; (I'll say it: I LIKE THIS BETTER THAN I LIKE SHREK!) Shrek is one of those movies you laugh at when you see it, talk about it afterwards for a few days and then never watch again unless some teacher brings it in trying to be cool and in touch with the kiddies. I can watch Sinbad over and over again and it's considered their worst one.
-Just about all the Don Bluth films even though I haven't seen them in forever. All Dogs Go To Heaven, Land Before Time (THE FIRST ONE! NOT THE 20934023 sequels that came afterwards!!), etc. The only one that makes me go "WTF?" is The Pebble and the Penguin.
-Rover Dangerfield; This was the only reason I was able to catch Genie's Rodney Dangerfield reference in Aladdin
-...ghee, when you take away Disney, there isn't much left
. I like a lot of animated TV movies and stop motion Christmas films, too, but there's too many to list.
Non-animated:
-Clueless
-Big Daddy
-As Good As It Gets
-Men in Black
-Malibu's Most Wanted (total crack film, but I love it
)
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (FYI, we'd be here forever if we named all the Christmas films I love
)
-Head of State
-Down to Earth
-Peter Pan (the lastest live-action one, so ha)
-Jumanji
-Mrs. Doubtfire
-School of Rock
-Holiday Inn (a classic black and white 1940s film with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby
)
I like comedy; can't you tell?

It could take a while, because I like a great deal of movies that aren't Disney or even animated and I have a poor memory.
