I've been in a blogging slump. Some of it is a timing and scheduling factor. But, all too often, when I sit down to write, I'm just not focused or inspired or articulate. So, I will keep sharing lists, link-ups, and questionnaires (like the one below that I stole from my friend's facebook page) until I can work that shizznit out:
most hated movie of all-time: Zoolander
movie i think is overrated: People like what they like, and I don't want to criticize that...but, for me, personally, I tried watching one of the Lord of the Rings on 3 separate occasions and fell asleep every time.
movie i think is underrated: ??
movie i love: Almost Famous
movie i secretly love: If I love a movie, I don't keep it a secret.

Pick 4 of the above "favorites" and tell me yours...
I haven't seen a single one of this year's movies yet so I couldn't pick a favourite even if I wanted to. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI think "Clue" is underrated. More people need to watch Clue. EVERYBODY needs to watch Clue in fact.
The Outsiders was a good one! Marvel definitely makes enjoyable films!
ReplyDeleteah what a great list! i love dazed and confused. classic. and jared leto is def not just a pretty face! almost famous, good will hunting, oh so many! fun post girly
ReplyDeletexoxo cheshire kat
Guardians of the Galaxy is the greatest :) I will always hate The Fox and the Hound (sorry!), but now I really, really, really need to see Lion!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bev about Clue!!
I loved The Outsiders so much as a kid, too, and haven't thought about this movie in ages. I wonder if it lives up to my memory?
ReplyDeleteAlmost Famous is fantastic. And so is Good Will Hunting which I watched again recently. That movie has so many memorable quotes/moments, and of course, Robin <3
What a fun post! Yes to the person who mentioned Clue above--that is an incredible film I could watch on repeat, too :)
I LOVE this. I need to do a similar list, I think that would be a fun post, so I'll be maybe doing something like this soon, thanks for the idea! I love Good Will Hunting - my husband and I went on our first date to see that movie so it's always been special to me <3

I crack up every time I watch Step Brothers. Especially the part when he threatens to put his balls on his drum set. My brother has a drum set and he said he'd kill any one of us if we touched it. So we would always say crap like that "I'm putting boogers on the symbols."...he was the baby out of five.
ReplyDeleteAlso Love Actually is my favs too. Sighhheeeee...just love that one with my everything.
Completely agree on Zoolander, I can't stand it. It's just not funny. I fell asleep numerous times during Lord of the Rings too, the first one. But then the rest are actually really good. The first is just SLOW.
ReplyDeleteGuardians of the Galaxy was seriously so good! I fought my husband tooth and nail about watching it, and I was so glad that I finally did! I can't wait for the new one to come out either!
ReplyDeleteI'm your huckleberry. :D Love Tombstone! I agree with so many of your choices. I cannot wait for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It looks great and I'm a little embarrassed by how much I love Baby Groot. I am very pleased to see Big Hero 6 as your favorite animated film. It gets overlooked and it's really good. I'm definitely going to borrow this idea for a future post!
ReplyDeleteI love these posts! So many great movies on your list! I have to admit I haven't seen a bunch of these movies. I am so sheltered lol. I know I need to change that and get watching!
ReplyDeleteLove Step Brothers as well, but I don't think it's my favorite comedy. And musical is between Moulin Rouge (just so beautifully done!) and Rent. I still need to see Lion and Guardians of the Galaxy! 4 others...
ReplyDeleteworst movie so far this year: last year, but I just saw it last week- Manchester by the Sea
favorite bad movie: Joe Dirt (I have no idea why- I just love it)
most anticipated film of this year: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (12/15/17)
favorite movie of all-time: Love Actually :)
I've always said, I feel like me & you could have a movie marathon & be in total agreement on which movies to pick :)
ReplyDeletePS - I've been in a blogging slump myself. What's happening?!!?!?
Never seen Lord of the Rings and don't care too.Oh and I love Urban Cowboy!
ReplyDeleteThe Outsiders was a really good movie. We haven't watched Sing yet...did you like it?
ReplyDeleteStep Brothers has to be in the top 5 most quoted movies in our house. I love Morgan Freeman!!!
ReplyDeletei'm not surprised by any of these. :] i'm proud to be able to say that.
ReplyDeleteAw, Fox and the Hound, Love Actually, The Outsiders. I love all of these. For me, I love Life as a House (that would be indie), A Question of Love (foreign film - French), plus many more.
ReplyDelete-Lauren
Guardians of the Galaxy is such a fun movie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun questionnaire! I love reading posts like these and getting to know bloggers better! Hope you have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh I love Grease 2 as well, but I often find that a lot of people haven't seen it??
ReplyDeletei have yet to watch city of god!
ReplyDeleteoh man, you broke my LOTR loving heart. but i understand. i went through a crazy LOTR obsession phase, complete with tattoo on the back of my neck. so i love the movies, though of course i love the books more.
ReplyDeleteaw love actually <3 love it too.
Love it. I LOVE LOTR. I struggle to understand why people wouldn't like it... I won't judge. :P I've actually been re watching the first Hobbit a lot. I just love those dwarves, lol. Moulin Rouge is great. Guardians is another one I love. I don't usually get into sci fi or space movies too much, but it's such a blast.Love Actually. :) :) :) As for indie movies... I can't help but love Garden State the most. I really like Danny Deckchair for foreign films. I know it's kind of silly but it's a favorite. XO - Alexandra
ReplyDeleteSimply Alexandra: My Favorite Things
movie i love: Catch & Release
ReplyDeletefavorite disney movie: Hercules
favorite animated movie: Inside Out
(I'm sure you realize that I picked these 2 so I could list out 2 Disney movies, which was WAY more difficult than I expected it to be...)
movie i think is overrated: Superhero anything (Marvel, DC, etc). I'm not saying they are bad, but I'm just meh on them.
Favorite musical movie - either Rent or Rock of Ages
ReplyDeleteFavorite horror - ol' girl here does not do horror....
Favorite bad movie - possibly Desperately Seeking Susan
Best trilogy - Back to the Future
PS I don't get the Lord of the Rings thing either... I gave it an honest shot, but just not happening.
Hmmm. I guess I missed the DV scene in Urban Cowboy. As for the adultery, they were on a break.
ReplyDeleteFavorite action movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Favorite comedy: Annie Hall
Favorite franchise: James Bond
Guilty pleasure: Whip It
Upon further review, I've decided it's a koala. Kangaroos have tails. Anyway, hope you're feeling better. The book's quite entertaining. :)
ReplyDeleteI've have something like this in my drafts. I'm with you on so many of these. Grease 2, Moulin Rogue, Almost Famous, Love Actually! I don't think I've ever seen Rob Zombie's Halloween!
ReplyDeleteStealing this!
ReplyDeleteBut to follow the rules, here are 4 of mine:
