apocalypsosOkay, boosting this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashlle1, 'cause I like it lots.
Am feeling vaguely ADD at the moment, so let's play a game. Simple games. Two movies you love, two movies you hate, and why for all of them. And then chitchat in response to other people.
Me first, and I'm going to use other movies than the ones I picked over there.
HATE:
The last two Matrix movies: Wait, I'm sorry. What am I saying? There were no other Matrix movies. There was just that really good movie with neat special effects and an ending with great potential. And then nothing else. Okay, maybe a video game or two, but that's it.
Moulin Rouge!: I'm not sure I should admit that in public, but, oh, did I hate Moulin Rouge! with a passion. I mean, I loved the visuals and I loved the soundtrack, but together ... my GOD, did they grate on my nerves. Plus, Nicole Kidman -- blech.
LOVE:
Sneakers: Look, it's on USA Network right now! And it's got Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, James Earl Jones and River Phoenix. And look, they're all snarky and mysterious. Wheeeee.
Citizen X: Pretty much one of the best made-for-TV movies I've ever seen HBO put out. I really need to watch that again.
Okay, your turn. :)
EDIT: Dear internal organs, behave or I'm selling you all on the black market.

Date: 2005-04-29 12:48 pm (UTC)Hate:
Home Alone. The only movie I've ever got up and walked out on. I get that it's fantasy and all that, but all the people in the theater laughing at other people, even 'bad guys' getting hurt squicked me badly, maybe because of the streak of vigialantism going around in that community at that point in time.
You've Got Mail. Um, yeah, I hate to say it, because Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are definitely cute together, but it's one of those stories that gets drawn out because of miscommunication that could easily be solved and end the movie 60 minutes in, and worse, she lost her independent bookstore. I can't bring myself to cheer for the triumph of ubercorporate America, but I felt like the movie was trying to manipulate me into doing exactly that.
Love:
The Princess Bride. I mean, seriously. What's not to love? Plus, the one time I didn't find Mandy Patinkin completely annoying was in this film.
Waiting for Guffman. It's hard to pick one Christopher Guest movie, but this just squeaks past the others because I know those community theater people.
