Classic Movie Meme
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Ben tagged me to take part in this meme. I won’t tag anyone else, but if you want to have a go, feel free.
Get the American Film Institute’s 100 Years… 100 Movies list and answer the following questions:
1) Your favorite 5 movies that are on the list:
Casablanca
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

The Wizard of Oz
Star Wars
2) 5 movies on the list that you didn’t like at all:
The Graduate (I fell asleep during it)
On the Waterfront (I lost interest after a while)
Those were the only two I could find, and I probably just wasn’t in the right mind-space to appreciate them.
3) 5 movies on the list you haven’t seen but want to:
Psycho
Chinatown
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
The Silence of the Lambs
Some Like It Hot
4) 5 movies on the list that you haven’t seen and have no interest in seeing:
Citizen Kane (actually after seeing this review I’m considering renting it)
Apocalypse Now
All Quiet on the Western Front
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mutiny on the Bounty
5) Your favorite 5 movies that aren’t on the list:
Secretary
Little Miss Sunshine
Die Hard
The Matrix

I’ve limited myself to American movies, in the spirit of the original list.

Citizen Kane is wonderful! And I was pretty resistant to seeing Yankee Doodley Dandy but it was actually a pretty great film. Cagney can do no wrong, he’s one of my favorite actors! XOXO

I loved Kane, and All Quiet on the W F. This is an intersting post. I’ll have a go at it myself.

Hi Becca, I’ll probably watch those movies at some point. There are too many movies to watch!
Nicholas: I look forward to your take on this meme, did you see your tag for the movie festival meme?

Apocalypse Now is probably the finest war/anti-war/Vietnam movie ever made.

I’m sure you’re right, DeJaMo. I just hate watching war movies.
