Movie Tag

I was tagged by Laura and I am a little embarrassed to do this post. I have weird taste in movies, just ask Branden. So hopefully I won't humiliate myself by listing some of my favs.

Favorite movies you have to be in the mood for in order to enjoy:

1. Dirty Dancing. It is pretty cheesy and the dialogue is not the greatest, but you gotta love it... sometimes.

2.The Notebook. My junior year of college, my best friend and I saw this movie at the dollar theater at midnight... three nights in a row. We wore our PJs and actually fell asleep a little the third night, but we loved it. (We did the same thing with Charly our Freshman year.) 

Favorite movies that make you laugh out loud no matter how many times you have watched them:

1. Arrested Development. Ok, this is actually a DVD of the TV series, but they are a favorite for sure. I am laughing out loud just thinking about chickens. Cha che cha che cha... (please someone understand this)

2. Grumpier Old Men. I think I have a crush on Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. :)

Your Favorite Guilty Pleasures:

1. Chicago. I recognize that this is not a very "appropriate" movie but I have been fascinated by it ever since I saw it in the Latin Quarter in Paris. Maybe it just brings back great memories.

2. American Outlaws. This is a guilty pleasure because Branden has made me ashamed for liking (loving) this show. I have actually been given or bought this movie three times because I lose it and then have to have it again. 

Favorite movies you have seen so many times, you can recite all the lines:

1. Never Been Kissed!!! This was an all time favorite in high school. I still recite it randomly for Branden. Whenever I just start spouting random nonsense he assumes it is from this movie. (Yikes....Bikes!)

2. The Princess Bride. "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!" I say this to Branden at least twice a month and for some reason he can never remember what movie it is from. Someday he will catch on. 

Movies that opened your eyes:

1. Hotel Rwanda. This one made me sick to my stomach and very uncomfortable, but sometimes I think we need that.

2. The Last King of Scotland (edited, don't worry). For some reason this movie made me think of Hitler. Forest Whitaker did such a good job of showing how dictators can be both charismatic and cruel. 

Most Overrated:

1. The Godfather movies.  Branden will absolutely kill me for this (or maybe just put a horse head in my bed), but I just do not get why he is so obsessed with these.

2. Harry Potter movies. Yuck. I love the book and hate the movies with a passion!

What were the last 2 movies you watched:

1. Dan in Real Life

2. Vantage Point (not a fan)

Favorite smart movies: (Is there even such a thing? If you are looking for a smart movie, I have a suggestion. Read a book.)

1. Baby Einsteins :)

2. Juno.  You may disagree, but I think this movie is so clever. Especially the dialogue.

Your spouse's favorites:

1. Godfather movies (obviously)

2. Legends of the Fall. You may notice that these movies are all rated R...

Your all time favorites:

1. "What's Up Doc?" I also could have used this movie for laughing out loud and reciting the lines, (What kind of wine are you serving at table one?) hilarious.

2. Silverado. This one is my dad's fault. I grew up on this show. I remember being so excited to share this movie with Branden. He was not impressed. 

I tag Chelsea, Dixie and McKay, Annalisa, Melinda and Branden (I hope you will not all be bored of our blog if my husband does this tag too. I think he has interesting taste in movies.)
