I can't believe I haven't been here before to...Ack! I can't believe I haven't been here before to get answer the movie stuff (that's the kind of week it's been since I've been back).<BR/><BR/>Here goes:<BR/><BR/>1) Did you see any of the Oscar-nominated Best Pictures from this year? If so, were they good?<BR/>I saw two of them: <I>The Queen</I> and <I>Little Miss Sunshine</I>. They were both excellent. <I>The Queen</I> was quite powerful and moving. <I>Little Miss Sunshine</I> was just quirky fun. I plan to see the other three on DVD soon.<BR/><BR/>(2) What 5 movies would you put on your All-Time Best list?<BR/>* <I>Dead Poets Society</I>: One of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. It really affected me when I saw it in the theater in 1989 and still does today.<BR/>* <I>Out of Africa</I>: Beautiful story, beautifully shot with awesome acting. <BR/>* <I>Star Wars</I>: One of the first movie going experiences I remember in its entirety. I was eight and my mom and I camped out at the mall on a Sunday afternoon/evening to get tickets and get into the theater. And, of course, the movie was incredible.<BR/>* <I>Beautiful Thing</I>: A small British movie about two teenange boys who end up falling in love with each other. It's got the music of The Mamas and the Papas to add just the right tone to the movie. It's one of the first movies Will and I saw when we started dating.<BR/>* <I>Rent</I>: I love the play and I love the movie. It captured six of the eight members of the original cast and it's perfectly done (at least I thought so, I know a lot of people didn't).<BR/><BR/>(3) Who is your favorite "eye candy" movie star?<BR/>Heath Ledger. Whether it's the kinght-wannabe in <I>A Knights Tale</I> or the tourtued soul in <I>Brokeback Mountain</I> he is always looking really good.<BR/><BR/>(4) What is a favorite "classic" movie?<BR/>I'll give two: <I>Now, Voyager</I> (1942) with Bette Davis. It's a great story about a woman coming out of her shell and finding romance. <I>The Sound of Music</I> (1965). The movie that got me hooked on musicals and makes me wish we could all just break into song on a whim.<BR/><BR/>(5) Who is your favorite "classic" movie star?<BR/>Bette Davis. She made so many great films (and so many "good" bad ones) and really help paved the way for women to have a certain amount of power in Hollywood.<BR/><BR/>(6) What movie star have people said you look like?<BR/>I get Bruce Willis a lot since I shaved my head.<BR/><BR/>(7) What is your favorite movie snack?<BR/>Popcorn!<BR/><BR/>And since we're talking movies, a moment to plug Will's website. If you like "bad" movies -- things like <I>Xanadu</I>, <I>Flash Gordon</I> and the 1976 remake of <I>King Kong</I>, check out <A HREF="http://www.coolcinematrash.com" REL="nofollow">Cool Cinema Trash</A>.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471148605362235663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-84622153644106254222007-02-28T00:27:00.000-06:002007-02-28T00:27:00.000-06:00What a neat idea!

I missed the show this year, too... Be...So fun!!! I missed the show this year, too... Believe it or not, I was watching Season 1 of The Highlander on VHS during the show... =) Can't believe how many "non-movie" people have posted - I didn't know there were so many of you!!! I'm a movie fanatic... Here goes:<BR/><BR/>1. Ooops - already answered this one - nope!<BR/>2. Life is Beautiful is, without a doubt, the best movie ever. Hmmm... American History X, Rob Roy, Dead Poets' Society, and Sideways. Wow, that was NOT easy... The list is SO much longer.<BR/>3. Again, this is really a long list... But to pick just one... Today I will choose Ed Harris. Ask me again tomorrow and who knows who I'll say!<BR/>4. Just saw Casablanca for the first time and I must say it's fabulous!!! But I've got a soft spot for My Fair Lady.<BR/>5. Audrey Hepburn.<BR/>6. There's not really anyone that people say I look like... At one point, my dad said I favored Scully from the X-Files (tv, not movies, so this doesn't really count) in one picture that was taken of me. My nephew pointed to a picture of Julianne Moore and said "that's Nay"... Oh, but I wish!! (mind you, he's 2 1/2...)<BR/>7. I've got to agree with Hot Tamales...<BR/><BR/>PS - You've GOT to see Little Miss Sunshine...
