1. Pick ten twenty of your favorite movies and choose one still from each movie.
2. Post those stills in your journal.
3. Have your friends guess which movie goes along with each screen still.
(The answers revealed - and Harold and Maude should have been on this list too, don't know what I was thinking)

12. The Hours. I love you for putting this here.

<3 <3 <3 I love Dead Man, it's my favorite film too. Benny & Joon as well; my cousin made me watch it because it's her favorite film and I'm crazy about Charlie Chaplin. I saw Dancer in the Dark only a few weeks ago. I've never seen a film that made me feel so strongly.

1 is actually Hero, which is by the same director. Have you seen it? It's even better than House of Flying Daggers. I saw it a couple years before it came out here, on a DVD my Chinese-American friend had gotten from China. Basically someone had stood in a movie theatre where it was playing and filmed the whole movie. People's heads would randomly rise and block out the screen, the edges were cut off, it was very make-shift but even still it was clearly the most beautifully filmed thing I'd ever seen.

I haven't seen either one, though I have wanted to. For me, they were both the kind of film that you seriously consider going to see without ever actually getting around to it. I guess after how much I loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I didn't want to be let down. Plus, I wasn't sure if they would hold anything new.

Re: lego hypercaro January 3 2006, 03:42:34 UTC

you are a johnny fan i take it

Re: lego 42shadesofgray January 6 2006, 03:48:04 UTC

I didn't realize that four of those are Johnny movies til you said it. I'm not a Johnny fan per se, but he's an amazing actor and he has unbelievably good taste in what films he does. I'm not sure where the whole Johnny as sex god thing comes from; he's pretty but he doesn't really seem overwhelmingly the typical leading guy.

Now, Cillian Murphy... Audrey Tautou... that British kid whose name I cannot remember who was Annette Bening's son in Being Julia... well. One simply cannot speak.

I don't think there's really any actor who makes me feel like I need to see all of their films. Except Charlie Chaplin, who is really more the god of funniness than anything else.

We can pretend that you answered some.
