I have to pick just three? Okay, then:
Aladdin
The Lady and the Tramp
Dumbo
But The Lion King, Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid rank pretty high for me, too.

mookieb,
The no-homework rule is in place because we've had a lot of members join simply to ask for advice on homework, and then never come back or contribute to the forum. Therefore, we only allow homework questions from our regular members.
Feel free to have a look around the forum and join in on the discussions! I'm sure you'll find some good ideas for your project.

What I don't like is when people are uncomfortable with the themes in a book (especially in YA books), i.e. sex, drugs, suicide, murder, etc., and they decide that NO ONE should be allowed to read it. I hate censorship, people believing that their version of morality is the only right one.

I know that a lot of people have complained that Bleach has been too drawn-out (even I think so sometimes...it seems like they'll never get around to finishing Aizen off...that guy has a defense for everything). But to be honest, I don't know what I'll do when it finishes! I can't imagine not being about to read a new one each week! I'd go insane.

It's better when things are out in the open. Denying information on sex, etc. to teens will just result in them becoming confused.

Leftover Pizza Hut and a glass of milk.
Yes, I know it's 9:00 am, but it's pizza! -
Welcome! I hope you have some embarrassing stories about Michelle to share with us...

I love Weave's new one.

I'm completely addicted to the Bleach manga now (of course...I'm already addicted to the anime, so it was just a matter of time). I wait VERY impatiently for the English scans to be made available online each week. Eventually, though, I plan to collect all the books.
I also want to start reading Barefoot Gen, which is an older manga about a boy and his family living in Hiroshima during World War II.

Thanks, Lucy! I love it, it makes me laugh.

Definitely The Lord of the Rings, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas....can you tell I'm a huge Danny Elfman fan? I'm also obsessed with the Bleach anime soundtracks. I have all three, and am waiting for #4.

I've given away tons of books, probably around 200 or so. I usually donate them to Goodwill or one of the books for charity drop-off bins. I still have about 600 books at home, though.

Maybe Amazon has an email service?

I'm still trying to get through The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I'm loving it, but it's just long. I have about 60 or so books in the waiting, and I just ordered a book about the history of Japanese manga. I'm hopeless.

I usually have more than one book going on at the same time, so my books always overlap. Wow...I guess that means that I'm never not reading something.
Comfort Authors
in General Book Discussions
Posted
I guess my comfort authors would be Tolkien, Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens. I just find it comforting to read an author I know well and a book that has been there for me before.
