| Favorite movies | Far too many to list here... However, suffice it to say that my all-time favorite movie is, It's a Wonderful Life, In fact, I told my husband if we were to have another son, I would want to name him George Bailey, simply because I loved Jimmy Stewart's character so much. (My husband thought I was joking; I was being completely serious.) I also love the, LOTR, trilogy. And, Bella, and, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, (all Christopher Guest films for that matter), Dazed and Confused, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Talk to Her, All About My Mother, (All of Pedro Almodovar's films), A Walk On The Moon, (love me some Viggo...). Like I said, if we start talking movies, the list will go on and on and on.... I tend to like independent movies, quirky movies, and older movies. Classic favorites would include, The Wizard of Oz, Gone With The Wind, and, Ole Yeller, (and yes I still cry every time Ole Yeller dies.) Last, I must mention the amazing independent short films that, Whitestone Motion Pictures, puts out. Talented folks there. |
