shadowkat[We'll see if I can do this...every time I do one of these memes, I forget the movies or tv shows or books I've seen and draw a complete blank. It's weird. Almost as if something in me doesn't want to do it. OR maybe, I just can't make up my mind. This one might work, because note -- it's not the best or the only one. Just happens to be whatever comes to mind.]
A Movie I Love: His Girl Friday (based on the play, The Front Page)
An Action Movie I Love: Face-Off (based on a Hong Kong Action film, it starred John Travolta and Nick Cage, whose characters switch places)
A Drama I Love: Breaking Away
A Western I Love: My Name is Nobody (1973) This starred Terence Hill and Henry Fonda, and managed to play homage to and poke fun at all the major Western Tropes. I think I've seen it ten times.
A Horror Movie I Love: Jurassic Park (will watch it whenever it pops up on television)
A Comedy I Love: Noises Off
A Romance Movie I Love: (Sort of already have Gross Point Blank in another category)...Romancing the Stone
A Noir I Love: The Maltese Falcon
A Disney Movie I Love: Robin Hood (1973). Best Robin ever. (I loved this movie so much as a child that I slept with the picture book. Saw it a million times. And when it came on tv, taped it and watched on a scratchy tape. Years and years later, I saw the guy ho voiced Robin in a production of the Shakespeare Comedy that I can never remember the name of with the character Rosalind...in Shakespeare in the Park. I bonded with a fellow theater goer/Buffy fan board member over our mutual love of that film.)
A Sci Fi Movie I Love: Blade Runner. (Apparently they are doing a sequel which is coming out at the end of this year or next, starring Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling...and I have no clue why. It's really not a movie that requires a sequel. It's perfect as is. I've seen it a million times too and I think I own it.)
An Animated Movie I Love: Spirited Away
A Superhero Movie I Love: The Dark Knight. (They FINALLY got Batman right -- or the Batman comics that I'd loved in college and wanted to see on screen. Can't re-watch it though. But I vividly remember it -- favorite sequence is the end with a devastated Bruce Wayne and Commissioner and an insane Half and Half.)
A War Movie I Love: The Guns of Navarone
An Exploitation Movie I Love: Pulp Fiction
A Musical I Love: West Side Story (I tried to think of another one...but no, West Side Story)
An Historical Movie I Love: Lawrence of Arabia
A Bad Movie I Love: Tremors (which is also a horror movie. It's so bad, it's funny.)
A Childhood Favorite: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Escape From Witch Mountain (the 1970s version)
A Shakespeare Movie I Love: Franco Zeffrelli's Romeo and Juliet (everyday on my way to work last year, I'd listen to a subway busker play the theme song on his accordion in the subway tunnel between Sixth and Fifth Avenues...he did a great job.)
A Franchise I Love: Star Trek
A Trilogy I Love: Star Wars (the original three films...the other's have not quite lived up to them.)
A Guilty Pleasure I Love: Gross Point Blank. (Actually saw this movie when it was still in development. It and Back to the Future -- I saw rough cuts of, or previews before anyone else.)
A Movie Recently Seen: Doctor Strange
My Favourite of This Year: The year is still young. So far, Doctor Strange (I really haven't seen any movies this year, so far it's been Sing and Dr. Strange. I don't tend to get out to the movies very often. I keep meaning to see Hidden Figures, Moonlight, Logan, etc...)
A Favourite of All Time: The Sting
A Movie I Love: His Girl Friday (based on the play, The Front Page)
