Friday Afternoon Movie Meme: Best Of, Worst Of, Most Of.

Heck, why not?

1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times. Being of a compulsive temperment, if I like a movie, I tend to watch it over and over. Which ones have cracked double digit viewing? Well... Holiday, for certain. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly....Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure......The Wrath of Khan......Bull Durham is probably somewhere up there to. The list goes on....

2. Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater. Airplane! was probably the first. These days, with instant DVD and cable access, there's really no need.

3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie. Mostly the Old Guard here: Alec Guinness, Peter O'Toole.

4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie. Probably Robin Williams or Adam Sandler. Can't stick either of 'em.

5. Name a movie that you can and do quote from. Lots of 'em. Star Wars, the Bond flicks, The Ladykillers, Monty Python (Grail, Brian and Life). I'm too dull to come up with my own copy.

6. Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.

7. Name a movie that you have been known to sing along with. See above. Also The Wizard of Oz ("F'y were the king of the forreeeeeest!") and the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see. So many tastes, so hard to peg one film to cover them all. Check out all the ones I mention here.

9. Name a movie that you own. I own a goodly number. Terry Gilliam's Brazil will serve as good an example as any. How could that nice Michael Palin turn out so eeeeeevil?

10. Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops. Andre the Giant. C'mon, is this a trick question?

11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what? You bet. Saw Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at one for the first time. Well, sort of.

12. Ever made out in a movie? See 11 above. Also, the first time I saw The Adventures of Baron Munchausen in a theatre was on a date. I was captivated by the movie, she was much more interested in me. Conflict ensued.

13. Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven’t yet gotten around to it. That list has shrunk by quite a bit since I signed up for Netflix. For Your Consideration is one that comes to mind, but I've got it in the queue somewhere.

14. Ever walked out of a movie? Total Recall. Neither the Missus or I could take watching Ahnold's face balloon up when his space helmet got smashed. (I've seen it the whole way through since.)

15. Name a movie that made you cry in the theater. Who didn't cry when Old Yeller got shot?

16. Popcorn? Not so much anymore.

17. How often do you go to the movies (as opposed to renting them or watching them at home)? Virtually never. I average a flick about every six months or so, most of them kid-related.

18. What’s the last movie you saw in the theater? The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. See? Kid-related. Last adult film was the repulsive Love, Actually.

19. What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie? Romantic comedies and westerns.

20. What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater? I want to say it was Snow White - my grandmother took us kids.

21. What movie do you wish you had never seen? Any of the prequel Star Wars episodes (except the Natalie Portman abs bit in the second one, of course).

22. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed? You mean that I can mention on a family blog?

23. What is the scariest movie you’ve seen? I hate scary movies. And the grand poobah worst of them has to be The Exorcist. I got thrown out of a halloween party in law school where it was being shown because the only way I could make myself watch was to get drunk enough to start heckling. Still can't face it.

24. What is the funniest movie you’ve seen? I may have admitted this before, but as childishly ridiculous and trashy as it is, I believe Porky's is one damn hi-larious movie. At least, there are scenes which regularly cause my eyes and nose to start running with teh funny.

There! Now it's your turn.

Yips! to the Silver Fox.
