Directed by Rob Reiner (who also directed Stand By Me and Sleepless in Seattle), the style of the movie is she said/he said, showing the same events from both perspectives, and is both sweetly heart-warming and very funny. There are some very touching moments that reminded me of my own youth, such as my desire to save things that were being taken away (like sitting in a beloved tree so it wouldn’t be torn down), and feeling judged for living more modestly than wealthier neighbors.
Featuring an almost all-star cast, including Aidan Quinn, Penelope Ann Miller, Anthony Edwards, Rebecca De Mornay, and John Mahoney (I love him!), this movie is top-notch, from the writing, to the acting, right down to the nostalgic settings of a time gone by.
This movie is 5/5 stars for me, easily a new favorite for our family dvd collection.
Buy it! Flipped is available on Amazon on both DVD and Blu-ray, and is eligible for free shipping.

My first husband was Keith. He told his grandpa I was his wife back in elementary school. He was my first kiss too. At my 6th birthday party I locked him in my room and kissed him. 🙂 1

Sleepless in Seattle is my fave. I love the comedy and romance.
1. My first love was when I was in 7th grade. I liked a boy and he liked me. He got my phone number from a friend and called and asked me to be his girlfriend….I agreed. However, both of us were extremely shy and the next day when we saw each other at school we both went the opposite direction and never talked again….LOL!
I love A Room with a View because of the acting, storyline and especially the cinematography.

My favorite film of all-time has to be Annie Hall, because it is a very quirky, sweet, and timeless romantic comedy.
Lonerwor@aim.com
mine favorite is hellfighters with john wayne
That's a broad category – I'm going with Roman Polanski's Chinatown because I still don't see any flaws. Great writing, directing, acting and still seems relevant 36 years later.

wow my favorite movie of all time – thats hard. I like a lot of movies. I'd have to say Ever After, because it is a lovely remake of the classic cinderella. I love drew barrymore as the actor, and the plot is refreshing and enjoyable.

My favorite movie of all time would probably have to be The Green Mile. I'm not a wuss when it comes to movies, I don't normally break down and cry even a tear…but this one had me SOBBING and burying my head on my (now husband's) chest because I was having an emotional breakdown!
My first love was this guy named Ian when I was a freshman in high school. I pined after this guy for YEARS then finally had the courage to make how I felt about him known, and he asked me out. It was amazing. At that age, I hadn't built up the self confidence that normally comes as you grow older, and I was shocked that he actually wanted to be with me. We spent most of our days locked at our mouths. Until I had to move away to another state. Being a military brat was crappy sometimes.
My favorite Movie is the notebook cause its so sweet and some things in it reminds me of myself
