I have Catch Me if You Can on. I saw it opening weekend when it premiered. The decision to see it was based solely on who was in the movie...Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. I had no idea what the movie was about. I thought it was an action thriller, which doesn't usually attract me - not that I don't like them when I see them, they just don't grab me when I see the trailers.
The movie was completely sold out. I had to sit in between two people I'd never met.
I was so pleasantly surprised that it was a comedy, although I don't think the woman on my left appreciated me laughing my ass off throughout the movie. That's what happens when I'm taken by surprise with humor (same thing happened when I went to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith, except that it wasn't sold out and I had gone with friends...didn't know it was a comedy and laughed long and hard throughout the movie).
Anyway, I'm watching Catch Me if You Can, again and the difference now and when I first saw it is, I start laughing earlier because I know something funny is fixin' (I'm southern, deal with it ;o) ) to happen. Seriously, you don't want to see a movie with me if I've already seen it...I start laughing five minutes before the joke is told.
So now you know, Catch Me if You Can is one of my favorite movies. What are your favorite movies and why (if there is a reason ;o) )?

To Kill a Mockingbird.
Why? It's a bittersweet, lovely movie. The very best kind of story where the children come of age and learn powerful lessons. A statement is made about bigotry and cruelty. And, I LOVE Gregory Peck. He captured Atticus perfectly. Oh, I love it for a thousand reasons--but, it's simply a wonderful story and the movie did it justice.
