100 favorites, film

Sick?  Snowed in possibly?  Better yet, playing hooky from school or work, or whatever else may stiff ya out of a satisfying dreamlife?  Or just taking it easy.   

I personally like the chilly weather, which affords one the opportunity to do some serious snuggling whether alone or together ... and watch a nice flick.
