3 movies that are "the best ever made"
Spirited Away
Casablanca (to be completely traditional)
I honestly cannot think of a third one.
3 movies you watch on "high rotation"
Chicken Run
Nightmare Before Christmas
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
3 movies that are "guilty pleasures"
Dirty Dancing
teenybopper movies
musicals
Although technically, I don't feel that guilty about watching any of them. It's like romance novels... I've just stopped defending my choices, because I figure if I like them that much, there is something to them. Well, ok, I am still kind of defensive about teenybopper movies. But I proudly wear my musical badge ^_^.
3 movies that are "buried treasures"
Strictly Ballroom
Grave of the Fireflies
3 movies you watch for comfort
Moulin Rouge
Chicken Run -- the chickens have teeth and are shaped like onions! How could it not cheer anyone up?
The Princess Bride
3 movies you really "ought" to watch
All the Godfather movies
Schindler's List
Citizen Kane
Someday....
3 movies you will never watch
Bonnie and Clyde -- I'm sure it's a seminal, great movie, but I caught the end once over dinner and nearly threw up. Seriously. I had a very visceral reaction.
The Ring (Japanese or American versions) -- Sarah watched it and told me the summary, and even then I couldn't sleep.
Things like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween. I think we see a trend here... me and horror do not mix well.
Faves:
Action: Terminator 2. Sarah Connor kicks ass.
Drama: I'm going with... Shawshank Redemption. Although I sort of pulled that out of a hat.
Comedy: Chicken Run. Or Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This is a hard choice.
Romance: Moulin Rouge
SF/Fantasy: Um. End of Evangelion. Although I don't particularly watch it for comfort value, I think it's brilliant. Oh wait. I'm so stupid, I forgot about LotR. I'll put that there, except still waiting for December to cap the entire thing off.
Sticking in my own category, because I watch so much of it:
Animation: Spirited Away/Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi. Although Totoro is in close second.
Guh, hard meme. I think I watch too many movies, then I can't even remember what I've seen. Also, things I find technically good, I don't quite get emotionally.
Random quote of the day: The Boy, playing a fighting game and discussing one of the characters: "He's like Elvis! With nunchucks!"
