Remember those old Facebook “games” that you played via the “Notes” feature back when you couldn’t write long statuses?!?! Well, this was an old one that I dug up!
The Rules?
Name twenty films you’ve seen that will always stick with you. First twenty that you can recall. Don’t take too long to think about it.
Here are mine!!
- To Kill A Mockingbird (This was the first time I read a book after seeing the movie – I was in 6th or 7th grade, I think. Also, TKM is Superman’s favorite book! *lol*)
- The Color Purple (I hate to cry and I’m sensitive, so I usually don’t like to watch tearjerkers. When I come across The Color Purple on TV? I watch it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This movie was sooooo robbed. Every person involved in it should have earned an Oscar.)
- Star Wars trilogy (It’s not cheating! It’s just one big three part movie :).)
- X-Men 2
- Transformers 1
- Superman (originals: 1 and 2)
- Delirious (Eddie Murphy)
- Weird Science (“And she kicked him in the family jewels!” “The family jewels?!?!?”)
- Sixteen Candles (Jake Ryan. Need I say more? *le sigh*)
- Just One of the Guys (Knew this entire movie VERBATIM. Drove my college friend crazy when we watched it together.)
- Little Shop of Horrors (Another one that I knew VERBATIM. I need to buy the soundtrack for this!)
- The Toy (first movie I ever saw at a theater. It was drive-thru!)
- Purple Rain (Might have been the first movie my family owned on VHS and my one cousin insisted on watching it every time she came over our house! I actually ended up hating it!! LOL!!)
- Boomerang (“Ya got ta coORdiNATE!!”)
- Beverly Hills Cop 1 (“I ain’t fallin’ for no banana in my tailpipe!”)
- The Matrix (Probably my favorite movie of all time. What do you mean the sequels? There aren’t any sequels.)
- Blazing Saddles (“You are soooo smart … and they are so dumb.”)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (“You’ve got no arms!!” “‘Tis a flesh wound!”)
- The Princess Bride (“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die.”)
- The Avengers (“You wanna know my secret? I’m always angry.”)

This is a great list! The Color Purple is definitely up there for me…in fact, whenever I’m home sick, I pull out my dvd and watch it. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, I still uncover something new with each viewing. In fact I watch it so often that when I finally got around to reading the book I didn’t like it because it was too different from the movie. *lol* Others? Boomerang, Coming to America, Shawshank Redemption…many others, but those are the first that come to mind.

Awwww yes!! Shawshank Redemption is an awesome movie!! And, I could totally see watching the movie so many times that the book doesn’t seem as good!!! But, I can also see reading it and seeing a new movie in your head!!

I love your pick of movie quotes! Yes – too funny!
Here are my picks in no particular order:
Working Girl (Melanie Griffith: “I have a head for business and a bod for sin”)
The Color Purple (Celie: “Until you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna fail!”; “I’m poor, black, I might even be ugly, but dear God, I’m here. I’m here1”)
Lilo and Stich (Stitch: “This is my family. I found it all on my own. Is little and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good”)
Kill Bill (Vol 1 & 2. Edit out the gross bloody parts and merge it into one heck of a samurai western!)
Undercover brother (“It delivers a rather liberal spritzing of hot sauce”)

YES!!! You know we all quote that “Until you do right by me …” Color Purple line at some time or the other in our real lives! … and put our fingers in that hex position as we say it! And that ugly line is the best! She reclaims her power!!! Ahhhh, y’all making me want to watch it right now!!
Lilo and Stitch is one of my FAVE Disney movies. My grown sister and I went to see that in the movie theatre and were hysterical laughing because we did not expect Lilo and Stitch to be so bad!!! OMGosh, when she put the voodoo dolls of her “friends” in the pickle jar and shook it up and looked at her sister, “They’ve been bad.” Or when Stitch builds the city … and proceeds to mow it down like Godzilla and grabs the car and says in a ventriloquist small voice scream, “Eeeeeh, help, help” … LMBO!!!! You know I have my eye on this adorable Stitch iPhone case with flip, right???? I posted it on my FB page a month or so ago!! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=460982563943014&set=a.244822025559070.56743.236973279677278&type=3&theater
Kill Bill another fave. My favorite part is at the end when Bill is telling her who he thinks she is:
Bill: As you know, l’m quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology… The mythology is not only great, it’s unique. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there’s the superhero and there’s the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he’s Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn’t become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he’s Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red “S”, that’s the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears – the glasses, the business suit – that’s the costume. That’s the costume Superman wears to blend in with us.
Ahhh …. good stuff. Good stuff.

This is why you have to do it fast … because you named six more AWESOME movies to (in addition to the ones that I already mentioned in reply to the comments above)!!
The Incredibles was awesome … But Anastasia and Beauty and the Beast probably tie for my fave animated movies of all time.
Tombstone is AMAZING!! Love it!
Primal Fear?!?!? I lost my MIND at the end of it and that’s when I fell in love with Ed Norton!!! Just knew he was the next Robert DeNiro!!
The Count of Monte Cristo …. I’ve posted about that on here. I KNEW that Jim Caviezel should be cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne after that!! I don’t own many DVDs and the ones I own, I don’t watch often. I’ve watched the Count at least 6-7 times!! LOVE that movie!!
The Avengers. C’mon. One of the best Superhero movies of ALL time!!!
Breakfast Club … right up there with Sixteen Candles. Did you ever see the ep of Victorious where they spoof it?!?! I posted the two part videos on here, but they got ripped off of YouTube for copyright infringement, I guess. It was HYSTERICAL!!! “You’re so conceited Tory. You’re so conceited.” LMBO!!!
