100 Films in a Year

[crystalkirk]

This idea is totally stolen from singingrl.

I'm already kinda doing the same thing with books RIGHT HERE, so I thought adding a movie one to the fray would be fun too.

I love to rewatch films, so I'm going to add them to the list as well, but only ones I'm viewing for the first time will be included in the actual count. That way we can get a better grasp

Awww! I saw Parenthood when I was a little one too, and have always loved it as well.

so my taste has always skewed a bit older

Me too! Mainly because there was no filter. Whatever my parents watched, I watched. They always felt if they made a big deal out of something it'd just make me MORE interested than if they just let the questionable content slip by without fuss. Which, really, I agree.

So that led to me loving, and being terrified of, Poltergeist in about equal measure, at like, five years old. LOL.

Strangely enough, E.T. fucking terrified me at that age more than the Poltergeist ever did. We started it, I threw a helluva fit, and I swear to God I didn't see that movie all the way through until I saw "Dawson's Creek" and it made me curious...in HIGH SCHOOL. Then I was all, "THIS IS IT?!" Heh.

It's just like right now, I've been sitting on (not literally, heh) a unopened DVD copy of The Lady in White for months. That movie scared the ever-living hell out me and my friends as children. Now that I've seemingly outgrown being scared of films, I have two fears: 1) It will be as scary as I remember and I'm really not over being a big fraidy cat - or 2) Even more worrisome, is that it really isn't as scary we made it out to be, therefore, I'll be pissing all over my childhood. LOL. Yes, we were weird kids. We watched Pet Sematary at least once a week after school, lmfao.

LOL! ET? Really? I guess, for me, it was "Labyrinth"...I know wtf? right...but for some reason it really freaked me the fuck out. That and "Child's Play" I made the mistake of seeing that a very early age and was *terrified* of my Teddy Ruxpin doll afterwards. I saw it again a few months ago and it's a pretty craptastic movie, so yeah I can totally relate.

I was really scared of Supernatural before I saw more of it than the first 15 minutes. The whole ceiling in flames thing scared me entirely too much, but now I'm practically caught up with it and yeah it's a bit scarier than my usual fandoms, but it's fun and the guys are hot, so it doesn't matter that much :) And Pet Sematary was a good movie, if I remember correctly...it totally warped my spelling of "cemetery" though, I lost a spelling bee because of that word.

*dies*

I loved my Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby dolls.

To top it off, I actually had one of the Chucky-esque dolls, named Corky. My (creepy) friends and I used to do the little bit where we'd lay him on the ground and try the spell. You know, the, Aday due damalla. Give me the power I beg of you! crap. And yet? Scared of ET. Go figure, hee! We actually had an elaborate plan that involved getting a tape to play in him that was dialogue from the movie to scare all the other kids. Problem was, we were second-graders, and didn't know how to do that yet. Heh.

Awwwww! Too cute. I haven't ever been scared of that show yet.

PS was a fantastic movie. Not as wonderful now that I'm not scared of it, but it still holds lots of sentimental value to me, so it gets by with it. And poor you about the spelling bee! That's so sad. I had problems spelling it the movie way. I always wanted to split the last two vowels. "Semetary." I finally remembered that the correct way was double-E and the movie way was double-A, lmfao.
