So I was looking at Blogger's December Blogs of Note (mine is most definitely NOT on there) and found Life at Willow Manner. Ooozing with idyllic adorableness like warm melted chocolate, I enjoyed the photos, recipes, and anecdotes of family life. She's pretty crafty, you should all check 'er out. Anyway, she had a post about how her friends had challenged her to an Alphabet listing of her 26 favorite movies. You can go see it on her blog. So, naturally I had to attempt this as well (this was not planned out before hand so this list is being created as I write this... ) Pardon me for the lame choices... this isn't as easy as you think.
A: "About a Boy"
B: This should not be this hard already. I'll come back to it.
C: All right, I'm stealing this one. "Cinema Paradiso" is good and my brain is fried.
D: "Dances With Wolves" "Dirty Dancing" "The Departed"
Back to B: Ok, I'm an IDIOT. "Back to the Future." Sometimes I wonder about myself.
E: Skip.
F: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
G: "Ghostbusters"
H: "Hot Fuzz"
Again, another B: I'm really dumb. Hello- "Braveheart"?!
I: "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
J: "Jumanji" Shut up... do you have something better?
K: "Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2"
L: "Lord of the Rings" SCORE.
M: This is for Jason at Executedtoday.com- "The Molly Maguires" Look it up, Internet.
N: "No Country For Old Men"
O: "O Brother, Where Art Thou" Coen double feat- Heyyo!
P: "Persepolis"
Q: I got nothing.
R: "The Royal Tenenbaums" or "Resevoir Dogs" and god dammit, another B "Boondock Saints, The"
S: "Shaun of the Dead"
T: "Tropic Thunder" which reminds me, don't ask me why, of a C that I've seen way more times then a pretentious pick like "Cinema Paradiso"... Ready for it... "CADDYSHACK!" (Cue Kenny Loggins and a dancing gopher... I'm aallll riiiiight, don't nobody worry 'bout me. Yep, I'm that immature.)
Figured out a Q: "Quill"! Not your "feel good movie of the year" but if you want to know about the origins of S&M, I'd check it out (Hey now, it's a classy movie- Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, and Joaquin Phoenix star).
U: I'll come back for u. Ha, You- U? Ya get it? U and a You? I told you I'm burnt out.
V: "V for Vendetta"- I'm really sorry Alan Moore, but I thought it was jolly good fun. And therein lies the problem and I totally understand.
W: "What Lies Beneath"- this is courtesy of my coworker Kalyn. We both agree: Harrison Ford is a creep in that movie. I would have gone with "Wayne's World" now that I'm thinking clearer.
X: "X-Men 2." Bet ya' thought I'd say "X-Men." You bet wrong. "X-Men 2": WAAAAY COOLER.
Y: "Young Frankenstein" and for fuck's sake, another B with "Blazin Saddles."
Z: Easy. I knew this before I started: "Zoolander."
Ok, who did I miss? E: "E.T." and U: Ok, I cheated and got a list. "Untouchables," "Unforgiven," and probably the best of overrated movies: "The Usual Suspects."
So, I had to cheat. I'm not an infallible super-genius when it comes to pop culture nor did I ever claim to be.
