Day #20 - of the 30 Day Film Challenge.

A Film That Changed Your Life - is the prompt.

Ugh. I don't know. Films don't change my life. I don't give my entertainment that level of importance. I mean I guess you could say "Star Wars" changed my life in some respects, but not really. I'd still be me if it didn't exist.

So, if like me, you are drawing a blank on this one? I'm providing an alternate prompt.

A Non-Animated Live Action film that has an animal as the lead character

Watch on YouTube

I remember seeing this as a little girl in 1974 - I adored it. So much that I also wanted the book. Did it change my life, no. But I did love it back then.

I'm not entirely sure killer rabbits that are threatening all the lead characters/heroes counts as the lead character in the movie...but okay. It's certainly amusing. Probably would give Anya nightmares.

Wait...you forgot to mention that it has Rory Calhoun in it. Rory Calhoun - Western Star. (You know old obscure horror films, I know old obscure Western films...mother who adores Westerns.)

You should look up Tremors - that is possibly the best low-budget bad horror movie that I've ever seen.

Certainly better pick than A Dog's Purpose...which...the commercials annoyed me, well that and various co-workers would not stop going on about it as the best thing ever. LOL!

Well, technically speaking, the rabbits are the "title" characters....

Yes, Rory Calhoun does co-star in this movie, too. It should be noted that director William Claxton helmed dozens of episodes of Bonanza and High Chaparral, which made him a good choice for the movie's setting (but not for the horror).

Tremors is not a great "bad" movie. It's a good movie, period! (Don't say anything bad about Kevin Bacon with my wife in the room...)

1. Tremors is a low-budget horror film, that is poorly written, and while it contains excellent actors - actually my favorite actor in the film is Fred Ward, an underrated character actor - it is cult horror flick, which is basically a B movie or possibly a C movie depending on your point of view. In comparison to Night of the Lepus - definitely a B, since Lepus is an F. But in comparison to Jaws - definitely a C.

Again may not be fair to compare at all. I'd say B horror movie. You love C horror flicks...so...LOL!

2. Your wife is not in the room and even if she was - how does this apply? I love Kevin Bacon, but he has done quite a few bad horror flicks and movies in his lifetime, all actors have - it's the nature of the business. Hello.
