Another Meme, my goodness

[thegrrrl2002]

The Movie Meme, because danvers asked, and I'll do anything for her. (Because maybe then she'll post more of that lovely South American AU, the one where John is all hot and sweaty and Rodney is all hot and sweaty and they're in trouble and did I mention hot and sweaty?)



1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video:

Er, I have no idea. I own twenty some-odd bootleg MST3Ks, which I like to watch over and over and then play in the background while I'm beading. Do those count? Other than that, I'm not sure we own any real movies. We're happy with the Netflix thing.

2. The last film I bought:

MST3K: Godzilla vs. Megalon

3. The last film I watched:

Bowling for Columbine.

4. Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:

1. The Sound of Music - I can't help it. I love it. It's romantic and beautiful to watch. I get sniffly each and every time they sing "Edelweiss". And come on, admit it, Christopher Pummer is totally hot.
2. It's a Wonderful Life - Yeah, yeah, I know, it's kind of a cliche to list this one. But it's such a fabulous movie. And Jimmy Stewart. What more is there to say?
3. Them! - You just can't go wrong with giant ants in a movie. Actually, I love just about all of the B science fiction movies from the '50's. But this is one of my favorites. Along with The Thing From Another World. (More James Arness!). The movies are fun, hokey, and sometimes silly, and say a lot about what was going on in the country at the time.
4. The Poseidon Adventure - Disaster at sea! Ernie Borgnine! Sappy songs! Heroism in the face of certain death! Come on, disaster movies don't get any better than this. Well, maybe they do - The Towering Inferno.
5. Tremors - how not?

5. Which five people am I passing the baton onto? And why?

kylielee1000, because I want to know what goes on in her pretty little mind.
reedfem, because she really needs a break from all that painting. And she's good with movies. *g*
helleboredoll, because I'm curious.
ionah, because you've been way too quiet.
miera_c, because I want to know all about you, too.

Wow! There's an MST3K for Godzilla vs. Megalon? I *own* Godzilla vs. Megalon!

::hearts Godzilla movies::

Yay for Godzilla!

It's hilarious. They make up their own theme song and everything. I highly recommend it. *g*

i so love mst3k. *blissful sigh*

as for it's a wonderful life, i've been sad that it's become a cliche. it's beautifully made, full of shadow and edge, and i think it's not as sweet and 'happily ever after' as it might initially seem. frank capra came to my college and watched it with us (along with a few others). his dedication to story telling and meaning making was quite something. er, not that i have strong feelings about this or anything. i do love that movie.

oh 'them', it always makes me smile.

and now...christopher plummer. *squeeees* i've been in adoration of him for what feels about forever. he is divine. and he keeps getting more so. how is it that he can age as incredibly gracefully as he is? he is seriously *hot*

er, i'm a bit embarrassed at my plummer squeeeing. meep. ;)

Oh, man, Frank Capra came to your college? I'm so jealous. That must have been a totally cool experience. He made some fascinating movies. There's definitely a darkness to all his work, and it's certainly there in "Life".

And don't be embarrassed at your Plummer-squeeing. I saw him on stage in NYC, geeze, must have been more than 10 years ago, and he was amazing. And he looked great. *g*

he was very sweet. but not as sweet as the icon you used for your post. :::stares at icon some more:::

oh lucky you to see plummer on stage. i have a feeling he's got quite the *presence*.

;)

LOL! I was just about to ask that. Not that I've ever done the same thing. Nope, not me.

Consider yourself tagged, you silly thing!
