1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
Around 200 I think... if simple math is to be believed.
2. The last film I bought:
”Sideways”- I love the flick, but still think it was highly over rated and undeserving of all the oscar hype. Name drops a bit too much at the beginning, but really finds its own story about halfway through.
3. The last film I watched:
”Kingdom of Heaven”. Typically I’d be all over this genre of film, but for some reason the story line and acting just failed to capture my attention… luckily number 4 here will let me talk about films I DO like. :)
4. Five (or so) films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me, and why:
Dead Poet’s Society – Because it is full of angst and English. It, much like myself, revels in its own ability to reference great writers. This film single handedly caused me to become an English major with a creative writing emphasis in Poetry.
House of 1000 Corpses – Fun horror flick that references all horror flicks that came before it. Tons of wanton violence and swearing. This has everything a good horror flick needs. Great soundtrack, and simply just FUN.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead – Another film that revels in its own intelligence. Answers the time honoured questions of "what ever does happen to secondary characters in Shakespeare's plays?". One of the best and smartest films ever made.
Peter Gabriel’s Secret World Live Tour - The best concert DVD ever made. Second only to Peter's own "Growing Up Live" dvd. Not only is the music fantastic, but the production quality is second to none. This concert, when it was on VHS, got me through my college years.
SLC Punk- One of the best "scene" films ever done about the punk generation. Fabulous soundtrack. Every time I watch it, I want to break out my spiked leathers and create total havoc. I love films like this that remind me about the "FEEL" of the scene, not just the music and look.
5. Finally, tag five people to do this meme:
Nope. But if you feel like stealing this and doing it yourself, go right ahead; I AM interested to see other’s choices. Especiallysiobhan_genie's and llmarycatll if she ever deigns to logon again....
