Movie Meme

1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.
Star Wars. Any of them. 🙂
2. Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater.
See #1. Seriously, I was a “Star Wars” generation kid… I dressed up as Boba Fete for one Halloween!
3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie.
Johnny Depp. I really enjoy his approach to his art and his craft.
4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.
Faye Dunnaway. I really, really do not care for her acting ability.
5. Name a movie that you can and do quote from.
Being of the male sex, I can quote from far too many movies. Among them, many Tarantino films, a fair selection of Adam Sandler, and almost anything by Hal Hartley. I think I have a few Hal Hartley shorts memorized completely.
6. Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs.
Hmm… Probably “The Sound of Music” from when I was a kid. Or “The Wizard of Oz”
7. Name a movie that have been known to sing along with.
RHPS (If you know the acronym, you know the movie.)
8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see.
Wow. That’s too broad… one movie? Everyone? Okay, “Wings of Desire”.
9. Name a movie that you own.
You name a movie I don’t! Seriously, I own a whole lot of movies.
10. Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops.
Dwight Yoakam. Seriously. He can actually act. Wil Smith would have to be in there… for all the fluff movies he does, check out “Six Degrees of Separation”. He’s incredible in it.
11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what?
Well, I hate to be a one-trick pony, but “Star Wars”!
12. Ever made out in a movie?
Yes.
13. Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven’t yet gotten around to it.
An Inconvenient Truth
14. Ever walked out of a movie?
Yes. And oh, the irony… it was a movie I was *in*… and one by a personal hero (John Sayles)!
It was “Eight Men Out” and I was an extra. I went to see it to see myself on the big screen and was so bored I left before I even got to my scenes. 🙂 I think Sayles is a certified genius filmmaker… but I don’t share his passion for baseball.
15. Name a movie that made you cry in the theater.
I honestly can’t remember… I probably cried at E.T. in the theatre, but most of the movies that have made me cry (that I can recall) were rentals. (I really cried at the end of “Life is Beautiful”)
16. Popcorn?
Very rarely. And usually only if my wife wants some. I’m a “Milk Duds” guy… but Diet Coke, all the time.
17. How often do go to the movies (as opposed to renting them or watching them at home)?
Before law school? Or since law school? 🙂
18. What’s the last movie you saw in the theater?
The Borat movie…
19. What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie?
Indie… definitely.
20. What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?
I think Bambi… but I really don’t remember it much. Then again, I don’t remember last Monday!
