Always post the rules!

Answer all the questions the person who tagged you asked and then write 8 new ones.

Tag 8 people and link them to the post.

Actually tell them you tagged them

1. Your favorite female directors?

Wow this made me realize just how few female directors I know. That's pretty sad. Well okay, I'm going to go with Sofia Coppola, Kathryn Bigelow, and Sarah Polley. I've also got a soft spot for Nora Ephron but shhh don't tell anyone that I sometimes watch romantic comedies.

2. What made you fall in love with film?

My pa showing me his favorite movies (especially Midnight Cowboy and The Godfather). When I first watched The Godfather I understood like 2% of the plot, but it still blew my mind and showed me how intelligent and complex films can be. Midnight Cowboy crushed my soul and proved to me that film can be a really really personal and emotional art form.

3. Which is your favorite film decade?

I'm going to cheat and say the 1960s for international film and the 1970s for American film. I feel like nothing can top the innovation and brilliance of those two decades (in terms of cinema).

4. Favorite movie soundtrack?

I have a few favorites, but I think it's safe to say my all-time favorite is the Harold and Maude soundtrack. Cat Stevens is the man.

5. Favorite movie quote?

"Fuck me gently with a chainsaw, do I look like Mother Teresa?" -Heathers

6. If you could’ve worked in any film production, which film would’ve been? 

Pierrot Le Fou, so I could make eye contact with Anna Karina and then die a happy man.

7. Favorite Mexican films? *winks*

Pan's Labyrinth, Cronos, Santa Sangre, Amores Perros. *winks back*

8. If you could have dinner with 3 people who would they be?

Anna Karina and two clones of Anna Karina (but if cloning is out of the question then replace those two with Bill Murray and David Lynch).

My questions:

Celebrity crush?

Favorite film genre?

A film you couldn't bring yourself to finish?

Unpopular film you enjoy?

Favorite films you've seen this year?

Films (or films) that had the biggest impact on you personally?

A movie you love that is not very well-known?

The movies you've seen the most times?
