Julie D. has tagged me with the AFI Top 100 movies meme that has the recipient peruse the list and make judgments about the movies therein. I have a confession to make: As much as I enjoy movies, including old movies, I have only seen one of the top five movies, three of the top 10, six of the top 20, 31 of the whole 100. I am a pop culture movie slacker.
Thus I don’t know how interesting my answers to the included questions will be, based as they are on a subset of 30 of the movie titles, but here goes:
- Your favorite five movies that are on the list.
- Star Wars
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Schindler’s List
- Patton
- Jaws
- Five movies on the list you didn’t like at all. (This is tough because I’m an easy touch with movies, and I don’t often see movies I don’t like at all. These will be ones I don’t particularly care if I see again.)
- Apocalypse Now
- Amadeus
- Pulp Fiction
- The Silence of the Lambs
- Tootsie
- Five movies on the list you haven’t seen but want to. (Sheesh, I could list 25 movies.)
- Citizen Kane
- The Godfather
- The Godfather II
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Fargo
- Five movies on the list you haven’t seen and have no interest in seeing. (This is easier)
- The Graduate
- All About Eve
- Annie Hall
- Midnight Cowboy
- Doctor Zhivago
- Your favorite five movies that aren’t on the list. (I’m just going from my own criteria, not the AFI’s)
- Braveheart
- Saving Private Ryan
- The Passion of the Christ
- The Lord of the Rings (I consider this one movie)
- The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn) (purely out of nostalgia because my dad and I enjoyed this one so much together)
