A Movie Meme
Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme.
Let's go!!!
From Frankly, My Dear.
A Movie Meme
1. What is your all-time favorite "costume" movie or period piece? Period Piece. That would be "Gentle Persuasion"
2. What classic film would you nominate for a remake? "Gone With the Wind", as heretical as it may seem, I never could watch Clark Gable films.
3. Name your favorite femme fatale. Catherine Zeta Jones
4. Name the best movie with the word "heaven" in its title. "As it is in Heaven"
5. Describe the worst performance by a child actor that you’ve ever seen. It was in "The Resident Magistrate" a series on BBC. The little boy was a terrible actor.
6. Who gets your vote for most tragic movie monster? I have a hard time seeing a monster as a tragic figure. Sorry.
7. What is the one Western that you would recommend to anybody? "True Grit", without hesitation. I somewhat want to say, "Dances With Wolves" but the mule skinner's death and the killing of his mules just made me sick.
8. Who is your ideal movie-viewing partner? Mr. Z, absolutely. We watch a lot of films together.
9. Has a film ever made you want to change your life? If so, what was the film? A documentary about the X15. For a long time I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I took all the entry tests when I was 18 to go into the Air Force, until I learned I wouldn't be flying fighter jets. Then I said, "No thank you." Women were too short they said. They were secretly training short men from foreign lands though. Duh! We've come a long way, Baby! I started thinking more about Government duplicity then and became a sort of radical thinker.
10. Think of one performer that you truly love. Now think of one scene/movie/performance of theirs that is too uncomfortable for you to watch. Sandra Bullock. I can't watch that stupid movie, "Speed". It's less about Ms. Bullock than it is about Reeves. I can't believe it won two Oscars.
11. On the flip side, think of one really good scene/performance/movie from a performer that you truly loathe. Jack Nicholson in "Is This as Good as it Gets?"
12. What movie has the best soundtrack? Too many to name, legions of great scores!
13. Favorite actor with a mustache? (i.e: Charlie Chaplin, William Powell) Sam Elliot, hands down.
14. Shadowy film noir from the 1940's or splashy colorful musicals from the 1950's? OK....I'll take musicals for $5000.
15. Favorite classic Disney? What is a classic with Disney? OK "Lady and the Tramp"
Happy Mother's Day to All you wonderful nurturing women who keep whole species alive by caring and giving!

That was one of my MIL's favorite movies too. She once bought us the VCR tape.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a tender and sweet movie. I loved the way that the wife defended and rescued the goose, who was a "Pure Pet" of the family, when the soldiers tried to catch and kill it.
DeleteAgree totally about "Speed"...I also loved Dennis Hopper, but that movie is way over-rated!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many more of us there are? That movie was so HYPED!
DeleteIt was tough picking a soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteIt was very tough. Music can make or break a film, so a lot of them have spectacular music. I'm so glad that an award is given for Best Original Score.
