Movie Meme

Megan has tagged me for a movie meme, so here goes:

1. One movie that made you laugh - The Holy Grail.
2. One movie that made you cry - Sophie Scholl. I was crying buckets by the end of this one. You don't get many movies like this anymore, and it was a great tribute to a young girl's commitment to truth.
3. One movie you loved when you were a child - I think I quite liked Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal. Henson movies were the thing to see back in the 80s...
4. One movie you’ve seen more than once - Cars. We have an almost 4-year-old son.
5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it - I really liked the Police Academy movies. Not very highbrow comedy...
6. One movie you hated - I really disliked Fight Club and A Clockwork Orange. They glorified a subversive attitude to violence. OK, so they were cleverly done. Still gives some young adolescent males the opinion that trashing people is a fun hobby.
7. One movie that scared you -There was a Red Riding Hood-type movie with Sigourney Weaver in it. Can't remember the name...
8. One movie that bored you - Repressed a lot of these ones. They tend to be "ensemble dramas" with a lot of self-indulgent angst and broken relationships...
9. One movie that made you happy - Much Ado about Nothing
10. One movie that made you miserable - Bridge to Terabithia
11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see - Macbeth.
12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with - When I was 12 I fell in love with Michael J Fox. I have since learned the stupidity of falling for movie characters...
13. The last movie you saw - Iron Man.
14. The next movie you hope to see - Prince Caspian might be nice.

I tag Faraja... :)

You might not get much from Faraja for a little while - her baby is due right about now. :)

Love, love, love Much Ado About Nothing! Do Kenneth Branaugh and Emma Thompson get more adorable?

Prince Caspian was WONDERFUL. It's an instance where the movie IS better than the book (the book is the weakest of the series, in my opinion, anyway). Make haste to see it!

Yeah - I got a tag! I wanted to do a post but don't feel I have anything to really write at this moment so a meme will be just perfect! Will let you know when it's up :)
