The Movie One

Okay, I'll do this again and then it's back to knitting.

1. The last movie you went to see in a theater:

The Sponge Bob Squarepants Movie. I laughed, I was entertained. The kids wanted to see it, so give me a break.

2. The last movie you watched at home:

The Village. Barely watchable; stick a fork in M. Night - he's done. The Sixth Sense was so good - I was so totally suckered and the ending caught me completely off guard. This one, I saw the ending coming from almost the very beginning.

3. How many movies do you own?

Somewhere around 60. We're the type of people who watch movies over and over again.

4. What was the last movie you bought?

Shrek 2

5. Got Netflix (or a similar service)?

No. It's probably a good idea but it sounds like it requires some degree of organization on my part, plus it doesn't allow for spontaneous Friday night decisions.

6. List five movies you adore/mean a lot to you:

I have all of these on DVD and watch them repeatedly.

1. Local Hero. I just love this movie. Everything about it. The music, the scenery, the humor, the plot, the meteor shower, Burt Lancaster.

2. Galaxy Quest. Two years ago, we actually planned a vacation destination (Goblin Valley, Utah) because a scene in this movie was filmed there. This movie has so many one-liners ("This scene was badly written!"), so much humor...a must-see for all ages.

3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I know that men like to debate the Ginger vs. Mary Ann thing, but for us gals, it's Paul vs. Robert. And it's Paul! Paul! Paul! Paul! Another great source of line-liners. ("Who are those guys?")

4. Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure. Wickedly funny and definitely not just for kids. Plus the "knitting and knitting" quote (play the sound bite by clicking on Pee-Wee's picture on the right side of this page!)

5. Fiddler on the Roof. Great music and some genuine emotion. No one-liners, though.

7. Name your guilty pleasure movie (or genre):

Dr. Zhivago. I don't know why - I'm not particularly fond of Omar Sharif nor his character. It's just a big awesome epic that I've seen dozens of times and enjoy watching over and over again.

8. Name 3 people to whom you're going to pass these questions on, and why:

Um, none. I'm just not a chain-mailer kind of person.

Comments

PeeWee is so great. I just introduced my son to that movie, and he loves it.
