Film Survey
Tagged by @randomfoggytigeer — thanks, friend!
Last film you watched in the cinema?
Project Hail Mary. DM me if you want to hear a middle-aged woman go on at length about her complicated feelings for Andy Weir's books and their film adaptations.
Film that always makes you cry?
The Return of the King. Specifically, “My friends… you bow to no one.”
Film you know every single word to?
The 2005 Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. (And Fight the Future. Obviously.)
Favourite 2000s teen movie?
I was technically a teen in the 2000s, but I didn’t watch a lot of movies then. I was more likely to watch Dirty Dancing 350 times than to watch anything for my age group. But—Bend It Like Beckham was pretty great.
Most embarrassing "guilty pleasure" film?
Does the Pretty Woman/Runaway Bride double-feature count?
Film that changed your life?
The Green Mile. My buddy and I have a theory that every single Stephen King adaptation (film or television) is either a 1/10 or a 10/10, never anything in between. The Green Mile is a solid 10.
Favourite movie snack?
Classic. Popcorn. Extra, extra, extra butter.
Your go-to movie quote?
“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
The most overrated film ever?
Dazed and Confused.
Favourite director?
I don’t really follow directors very closely? Maybe that makes me a plebe, idk. I will say I’m hella excited about the Ryan Coogler TXF reboot.
First movie you remember seeing in theaters?
Independence Day. That’s one of my favorite things about Fight the Future—when Mulder is urinating in the alley, he’s pissing on a movie poster for Independence Day, so I always get to tell whoever I’m watching with, “That was the first movie I saw in theaters!”
Horror, comedy, or romance?
I reject your trinary. As Jackson Browne would say, something tender filled with despair, or something really weary laced with hope.
The ultimate "Top 10" favorite movies of all time?
Good god, this is difficult. I’ll give it a shot, though. These are not in order.
Dirty Dancing Fight the Future The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Phantom of the Opera The Sound of Music Cloud Atlas Serenity Dragonheart The Lord of the Rings trilogy (I’m counting them as one) Pride and Prejudice (2005)
