I have to warn you this is just the tip of the iceberg of movies I own.
Embarrassing fact - Clue used to freak me out as a child and I couldn't sleep for nights after watching it.
ReplyDeleteWell, it does have a lot of dead bodies and a creepy house! I don't blame you - luckily I only saw it when I was mostly grown-up!
ReplyDeletePretty decent lists. But I feel the categories can be even more specialized. Like westerns, Sci-fi, Thrillers etc.
ReplyDeleteAh, but you see, I don't like Westerns, and Back to the Future and Frequency are about as Sci-Fi as I go. So this is really just "categories I like", not all categories!
ReplyDeleteHmm. I just watched Jezebel the other night for the heck of it. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving Jezebel some love! What a gloriously melodramatic romp. And young Henry Fonda, what a dish.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of my favorites over there, but those four I mentioned above are on my Top Ten. I am big on Jane Austen (books and films), but Rebecca has got to be my favorite book-taken-to-film production ever! I mean, it's Alfred Hitchcock, Laurence Oliver and Joan Fontaine together, for pete's sake!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great blog. I just discovered it by perusing old wedding cakes in Cake Wrecks. I can hear you whisper: "Darn! Another one? Will this ever end?" ;-) Your wedding was amazing, by the way.
See you around!
Girl from Shangri-La.
Woman, you have a fine taste. I love your lists. What sort of blew me away is that an admittedly movie geek you, who has probably seen every good movie there is, still has room in her heart for Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Clueless, and Rebecca! I like you much, MUCH better now.
ReplyDeleteHeehee, thank you, GirlfromShangrila. My movie geek confession is that nearly all my favourite movies are not the renowned "good" movies, but the lovely, happy little ones. And Sense & Sensibility IS a "good movie"! :P So there! It won a BAFTA and was nominated for an Oscar!
ReplyDeleteIt's in my Top Ten ever (which I find impossible to make, but I know it's in there), so I have to defend it :-)
