The experts are picking the best films of 2006 with the Golden Globes just over and the Oscars on their way. And the temperatures have finally dropped to chilly, cuddle-up-with-your-favorite-movie weather. So we at Weekend want to hear about your absolute favorite movies of all time. But we're not letting you off with just giving us the title. Like, for instance, "Say Anything." Tell us why"Say Anything" is your favorite. (Did John Cusack steal your heart as the earnest Lloyd Dobler?) The Weekend staff will narrow the field to several finalists and then toss the big decision of who wins back to you. On Feb. 23, we'll publish the finalists in Weekend, and the voting will begin at http://www.washingtonpost.com/weekend. The entry with the most votes will be the grand-prize winner, who will receive a $200 Blockbuster gift card. The next five finishers will each receive four AMC Gold movie passes.

Here's what you do. Send us the title of your favorite film and a short essay (100 words or less) explaining why you like your choice so much. Please include your name, age, address and phone number. E-mail entries to wkndcontest@washpost.com or mail them to Weekend Section Movie Contest, The Washington Post, 1150 15th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20071. The deadline for entries is Feb. 7. Think fast! The first 30 entries will win Weekend T-shirts.

One entry per person. Essays become the property of The Washington Post, which may edit, publish, distribute and republish them in any form. No purchase is necessary. Post employees and their immediate families are not eligible.
