Monday, the return

May 12, 2014 11:26

Well, that was a crazy week and weekend. Was it actually a hundred days long? It rather felt like it.

But now it's Monday, and an easier day, and therefore we have time to meme and appreciate.

Via mamculuna, my ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, those that have defined me for good or ill, with a lot of childhood favorites included. I have a hard ( Read more... )

"C.K. Dexter HAAA-VEN!"

Now I want to watch The Philadelphia Story yet again. (Even though I just saw it a few weeks ago!)

I love so many of your movies.

I was looking at making a list and it's fairly horrifying and I'm sure I've said this before somewhere, but I think the most formative movie in my life was Billy Jack.

It's so embarrassing.

I admitted, in public, to The Parent Trap. So Billy Jack doesn't seem quite so shocking. :)

Thank you, L! I so enjoyed your list, and I watched the end of All That Jazz in your honor. :)

Hugs and a great Tuesday!

I've been trying to think of some formative movies, but I don't think we were allowed to watch anything interesting when we were really young. I do remember Watcher in the Woods and the original Escape to Witch Mountain, but that's because Wonderful World of Disney was the only thing on TV Sunday nights. I have since made up time and watched every really bad action movie ever made in the 80's.

...now that I think about it; we saw Ghostbusters and Gremlins in the theatre and I was scared, which probably did shape my dislike of potentially scary movies.

I'm fairly sure that I saw The Parent Trap on the Wonderful World of Disney first! Actually, this would be an interesting addition -- which films on one's list were seen on TV and which in the theatre.

Cheers and happy Tuesday!
