Movie Meme, at last (and TV meme, because I felt like it)

[oceana]

Total number of movies I own on DVD/Video:

Now that's just great. I'm not at home, I can't count, so I'll have to guess. Hmm....between 100 and 120, I'd say. That's only movies, and it includes self-recoreded tapes. Without them, a lot less. Maybe 60? Not counting TV shows, of course.

Last Film I bought:

I bought three at the same time, actually. Magic in the Water, The First To Go and Comes A Horseman.

Last Film that I watched:

Magic in the Water, yesterday evening. It was cute, but I prefer my Mark Harmon with guns and Tony. ;-)

Five Films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me, in no particular order:

I'm so bad at remembering something like that when I have to.

Lethal Weapon - I used to stay home on Saturday nights as a teen only to watch the (then) three movies in a row. I must have seen them ten times each.

Dead Poet's Society - That was my absolute favourite movie ever for a very long time. It was in the theatres for over a year where I live, and even though I doubt its success was all my doing, I saw it at least once a month. And then I watched it on TV, recoreded it, watched it again, finally bought the DVD... I cried every time.

Out of Africa - Another movie that never fails to make me cry. In fact, I don't even have to watch the whole movie, I can just start at the scene where she gets down on her knees to ask for help for her farm and wham, instant tears. I don't stop crying till the end. I love that movie. LOVE it.

A Fish called Wanda - I think I know all the dialogue by heart. Funny enough, my tape broke one day, and I haven't bought the DVD yet. I don't know why. Maybe beause I do't actually have to watch it to start laughing like a maniac, I just tell myself some of the dialogue.

Fried Green Tomatoes - A wonderful movie. Funny, sad, angry, amused...there is no emotion I don't feel while I watch it. I love the whole feeling of the movie, and I LOVE Mary-Louise Parker.


Pick on five people. Tag five people and have them put this in their journal.

Oh well, if you haven't done it by now, consider yourself tagged.

I know. It's hard to believe I have any friends at all. Maybe that's why I don't watch TV these days. I only watch the things I download or own on DVD, but I never turn on the TV to watch the program.
