Big - bigger - meme-post extraordinary
So I saw all this memes at amato_sole 's LJ and I just couldn't stop myself from doing them ^^ Feel free to comment and maybe post one or two of them at your journal *grins*

Never would have guessed that I found a character for every letter of the alphabet ^^ I did surprise myself with this outcome! It's really tough to come up with the names for certain letters - for example "E", "U", "X" and "Y"... And for other letters I could have named at least 2 or more characters!
Off to the next meme - Some questions concerning movies...
1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.
Oh boy, there are so many I've seen more than 10 times. Just to name a few "Bodyguard", "Dead Again", "The Goonies", "Dave", "Desperado", "Gladiator"...

George Clooney, Sean Connery, Antonio Banderas, Gerald Butler, Catherine Zeta-Jones...
4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.

5. Name a movie that you can and do quote from.
Moulin Rouge
6. Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs.

8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see.
"City of God", "Hamlet" - but the "Kenneth Branagh"-version!
9. Name a movie that you own.

10. Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting skills.

Closest call was "America's Sweethearts" - never have seen a movie THAT boring!
15. Name a movie that made you cry in the theater.
"The Lion King", "Armageddon" (So what? I'm a softie ^^ Don't like it when my heroes die and Bruce dying in that movie was just cruel!). Funny thing is, I never cried in "Titanic" - don't think many can state that ^^
16. Popcorn?
Sometimes...

21. What movie do you wish you had never seen?
"American Sweethearts" is high up the list - other than that can't think of any, oh wait could have done without "Eragon" too! The book was awesome, but the movie just sucked!
22. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?
Weirdest? "Stranger than fiction" was weird. Also "Pan's Labyrinth" was a bit strange and definitely not a kid’s film.
23. What is the scariest movie you've seen?
"It" scared the shit hell out of me when I was younger!
24. What is the funniest movie you've seen?
Well recently there was "Born to be wild" - laughed my ass off ^^
