30. A recommendation from someone you care about

Office Space. A number of people recommended it and I found it completely boring. It's amazing the amount of people who love it and quote it, but it does nothing at all for me.

And that's the end of the movie meme! I finished! \o/

29. A film from the year you turned four years old

I had no idea how many awful sounding films were released in 1971! Fortunately, I spotted Bedknobs and Broomsticks (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066817/?ref_=adv_li_tt) in the list ( Read more... )

28. A film sequel that doesn't have a number in the title

The Return of the King.

It's the 3rd of the Lord of the Rings films, though you probably already knew that.

Spoilers!

27. A film that is known for style over substance

That's a tough one. Hmm. Especially the 'known' bit as most films will have admirers that'll argue there is substance and plenty of it.

However, I don't think I've heard anyone defend By the Sea (the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie film) as being anything of substance but its admirers point out it's ( Read more... )

This is a meme I'm trying to finish off.

26. A film that starts with 'the' and then uses it again.

The Slipper and the Rose. *sighs happily* It's a lavish, beautifully filmed musical version of Cinderella. It's one of my favourite films and it's the first film I owned on video ( Read more... )

25. A film with a title that's one syllable.

For some reason, I misread that 'syllable' for 'word'. Then kept on seeing 'word'. I even posted a one word film title in reply yesterday.

So, heres a film with a title that's one syllable.

Clue.

Clue is one of those films - you either love it or you hate it. It's a rather zany comedy based on the ( Read more... )

25. A film with a title that's one syllable word.

(Thanks to ringsandcoffee for pointing out my mistake.)

Mannequin.This is a bit of a weird film. It's a rather silly romcom about Jonathan (Andrew McCarthy) who falls in love with a department store mannequin, Emmy (Kim Cattrall). Only she isn't really a mannequin. She's an ancient Egyptian princess who was ( Read more... )

24. A film from a director you've seen nothing else from.

That was easier than I expected: Ordinary People.

I remember the hoopla when it came out about it being Robert Redford's directorial debut. I didn't think I'd seen anything else that was directed by him and I was right. Ordinary People it is ( Read more... )

23. A film that won the Oscar for best picture.

Variety.com lists every winner.

One of my favourite films is a very early Oscar winner: It Happened One Night.Ellie (Claudette Colbert) is a spoiled heiress who's on the run from her wealthy father and trying to reach her quickie marriage husband. She ends up travelling across the US via Greyhound ( Read more... )

22. A film with a Rockstar in its cast.

Well, you don't get much more rockstar than David Bowie, so I'll go with Labyrinth as my answer ( Read more... )
