The Movie Meme

April 30, 2007 · Filed Under Entertainment/Sports 

Taken from Blythe Spirit, leave a comment if you do it too, I’d love to see what everyone else answers.

Name a movie you have seen more than 10 times
There’s actually a lot of these, but I’ve probably watched “Dave” more times than any other movie.

Name a movie you’ve seen multiple times in the theater
The Matrix, Aliens

Name an actor who would make you more inclined to see a movie
William H. Macy, Emma Thompson, and Clive Owen (cause he’s #1 on my hottie list, not particularly for his great acting skills)

Name an actor who would make you less likely to see a movie
I gotta agree with Blythe here: Will Ferrell and Leonardo DiCaprio, and I’ll add Helena Bonham-Carter, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise to the mix (since he lost his mind, at least),

Name a movie you can and do quote from
There are so very, very many, as any long time reader of my blog can attest to. (Just to embarrass them, I’ll let you know that both my brothers used to be able to recite the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie by heart - the 1990 one, not the 2007 one)

Name a movie musical in which you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs
Grease is the one, baby! I apparently drove my family crazy listening to the soundtrack over and over and over as a kid.

Name a movie you have been known to sing along with
Dave, where he comes home at the beginning singing the Oklahoma song, and I can no longer sing the proper words to Hail to the Chief anymore (Hail to the Chief, he’s the one we all say hail to, we all say hail cause he keeps himself so clean…)

Name a movie you would recommend everyone see
Psycho, It Happened One Night, The Philadelphia Story, Godfather I & II

Name a movie you own
There’s just so many… uh… how ‘bout Rashomon.

Name an actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops
Mr. Marky Mark Wahlberg (and his three nipples, I call them the Funky Bunch)

Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in?
 Nopes.

Ever made out in a movie?
Again, nopes.

Name a movie you keep meaning to see but you just haven’t gotten around to yet
Sunset Boulevard, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy

Ever walked out of a movie?
I don’t think so, but I almost walked out of Fahrenheit 9/11. I figured if I wanted to condemn it, I had to watch the whole thing, so I stayed.

Name a movie that made you cry in the theater
I was sobbing hard through much of Brokeback Mountain.

Popcorn?
 Occasionally.

How often do you go to the movies?
Not too often anymore.

What’s the last movie you saw in the theater?
 Dreamgirls

What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie?
It totally depends on my mood. Most people are surprised at how eclectic my DVD collection is.

What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?
The first movie my parents took me to was Alien cause they couldn’t get a babysitter. I was four years old and traumatized. I wasn’t able to watch it again until I was 18.

What movie do you wish you had never seen?
I don’t think I really regret seeing any movie. I usually watch most stuff once it hits television. Oh wait, maybe Caligula or Clockwork Orange. Perhaps Hostel as well, I just can’t stomach gratuitous violence as entertainment.

What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?
Hmmm, that’s a hard one cause I haven’t really enjoyed most of the REALLY weird movies I’ve seen (like Island of Lost Children or Pi). Maybe that would be Dark City.

What is the scariest movie you’ve seen?
At the time, Alien or Nightmare on Elm Street, now I guess I would say The Exorcist.

What is the funniest film you have ever seen?
I guess that would be Dave.

    I posted my answers on my blog. That was fun, now I wanna watch movies all day instead of all that I have to do!

    I had a super difficult time getting though Pi as well. At first I thought it was my natural aversion to math, but then Jim (who’s a freakin’ mathematical genius) said it was tough for him, too. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t bond with it either.

    I’d do this meme, but there are so many films I’ve seen & loved that I wouldn’t know where to begin… or end.

    @andrea: I know exactly what you mean!

    @eurotrippen: Actually, the people I know who’ve liked Pi are art people, not math people. I’ve found that most math people hate math movies (my ex-bf could go on for days about how Good Will Hunting was nonsense).
