Great films. Another Key Largo fan. And I need to get over it already, because Whoopi not getting an Oscar for that (and the film not getting any wins from its 11 nominations) will forever annoy me. I've yet to see it, but Geraldine Page was apparently brilliant in Trip to Bountiful and I've been assured by friends that the win over Whoopi was justifiable...so they say. lol

I was wondering how soon before one of these popped up. Why do C & Q get special treatment? You didn't like 'Cathy does Cancun' more than 'Citizen Kane'?

No, Citizen Kane. Because I'm very entelecduell

Be back soon with my list!!!

Was very hard. Needed some IMDB help to fill in the letters I could not come up with and that way was reminded of a whole lot other movies. I only made a multiple entry when there was no way that I could scrap a title in favour of the other. So here goes, a pretty cool list, methinks;

A- Amadeus/Aliens/American Beauty/Akira/Apocalypse Now
B- Blade Runner/Being John Malkovich/Das Boot/Beautiful Thing
C- Citizen Kane/Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon/The Color Purple
D- Donnie Darko/Dancer In The Dark/Dangerous Liaisons
E- Elizabeth/Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind/E.T./The Empire Strikes Back
F- Farewell To My Concubine/Fargo/Festen
G- Le Grand Blue
H- High Society/Hotel Rwanda/Hamam (Il Bagne Turco)/Hedwig ANd The Angry Inch
I- Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956)/The Insider/The Iron Giant
J- The Jungle Book (by Disney)
K- Koyaanisqatsi/Key Largo
L- Life Of Brian/Lola Rennt/LA Confidential/Lost In Translation
M- Magnolia/Memento/M (by Fritz Lang)/Metropolis (also by Frits Lang)/The Matrix/Het Miesje Met Het Rode Haar
N- The Nightmare Before Christmas
O- Once Upon A Time In The West/One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
P- The Princess Bride
Q-
R- Raise The Red Lantern/Rear Window/Raiders Of The Lost Ark

V- Vertigo/De Vierde Man
W- The Wizard Of Oz
X- X
Y- Yara
Z- Z



Many edits will follow, as I am still letting my mind go over movies that made a deep impact on me. Like I just remembered Dangerous Liaisons. Can you believe Glen Close did NOT get the Oscar for that? Academy bitches. And I just spotted The Color Purple, can you believe Whoopi did not get an Oscar for that? Academy bitches!

H- High Society

My Fair Lady should have been on my list! I will update immediately! I know it is way too long and all, but it has good memories.

And High Society is GREAT, especially for the songs! I just saw this one before I ever saw the one with Hepburn. My mother was a Grace Kelly fan, so I had it grown into me, so to speak.

Hehehe.

RED EDIT How could I forget While You Were Sleeping and Ever After? Both of there are extremely romantic, but I just happen to love romantic comedies! Ever After expecially needs a mention, as it is almost a perfect film; acting, sets, supporting cast; EVERYTHING. I just love that movie. It is one of the movies that does not bore me, not even after seeing it for like 20 times.



in bold the late additions

I love Le Grand Bleu! (Although on my list I put it under 'L'.) I have always wanted to get it on VHS or DVD but haven't been able to find it. One time I went to a screening of it in the US and the French was dubbed over with English. Quelle horreur!
