Fun Factoid...
If you knew me in real life then you would have no doubt that I am an avid movie buff. I LOVE OLD MOVIES!!!!! I watch new movies but I am never swayed by public opinion on anything. My favorites are always the classics. Every now and then a new one comes along that makes my list of favorites but it is not as often as it used to be. I have definite tastes in movies and am very vocal if I hate something. I have offended my FIL and one of my SIL's and her hubby on several occasions because they seem to think I should like everything they do. Mind you, I am not rude. They just cannot fathom that someone would not love what they recommend. They really have no idea who I am - well the BIL is more in tune with that and has recommended some great movies. He is the reason we saw The Village and that made my top 50 movies. I can tell you right up front I am an idealist. I love a well written story. I love a movie that makes me think. I want something that stirs my soul. I love twists and turns but not gore. I cannot watch horror movies - they just disturb me too much. I love a happy ending and if it ends badly it immediately goes on my do not recommend or ever watch again list. Some examples of that are The OxBow Incident, From Here to Eternity, and Cold Mountain just to name a few. Hated them and will never see them again. I wish I had not wasted brainpower on them. Napoleon Dynamite was another one I wished I had not wasted two hours on. No thinking, no intellegence, too teenager minded for me, just a bunch of one liners to have to listen to my preteen quote all the time - I can never get those two hours back... LOL.
Dan is a western fan and has converted me slowly over the years. I will watch anything with John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck in them. I like the rugged men, what can I say... I married a rugged man. That is my style! ;)
I like a great love story but not too sappy. Audrey Hepburn is a real fave. I adore movies like The Other Sister and Radio, too. I am a HUGE Hitchcock fan!!! A good musical is always a favorite in our home, too, and we don't just watch the movies - we SING the movies as we watch. We are so annoying!!! ROFLOL See, I am not hard to please. If one is to pay attention to who I am they know my tastes vary and there are lots of movies out there for me. Knowing that, it will not surprise you that one of my favorite things to watch is the AFI Movie List shows. Last night was the latest. So, without further adieu...
Here is the List of the Top 100 Most Inspiring Movies of all time. My favorite won the top spot... There is a story behind that movie for Dan and me that I may share with you sometime. Enjoy the list!!! :)
