My Movie Picks
June 29th, 2008 | by kelliw |I just returned from Ken Armstrong’s blog at http://kenarmstrong.blogspot.com/. He was playing a meme and invited his readers to play. Well, I love a good, clean, fun game. So I’m taking him up on his offer. If you want to play, join in. Just answer the following questions:
1) List one movie that made you laugh:
I’m ashamed to admit it, but I laughed at “Airplane” the first time I saw it. I can only blame it on the fact that I had been working really hard on my school work and desperately needed a laugh at the time. Maybe I would have laughed at anything.
2) List one movie that made you cry:
“E.T.” made me cry when he was dying. LOL. Come on. You know you cried, too.
3) Name one movie you loved when you were a child:
“Cinderella” (not the animated version) was my absolute favorite.
4) List one movie you’ve seen more than once:
The list of movies that I’ve watched over and over could go on forever. But since I can just pick one, I’ll choose “Hook.”
5) One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it:
I would have to choose the “Goonies.” It’s a really good movie. The embarassing part is how old I am. I loved it, and my own kids weren’t into it.
6) One movie you hated:
“The War of the Roses” was such a disappointment. I loved Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas in “Romancing the Stone” and “Jewel of the Nile.” I thought “The War of the Roses’ would be a continuation of the couple’s adventures. Instead, it was an intense, dark comedy? with a bizarre ending.
7) List one movie that scared you:
“Jaws” scared me. I’m still scared to go into the water sometimes.
List one movie that bored you:
The most boring movie I have seen would have to be “A Room With A View.” I think that was the name of it. My friend loved it in an artsy kind of way. The only thing I can remember about it is that I was bored.
9) List one movie that made you happy:
“While You Were Sleeping” made me happy. It had a cute ending.
10) List one movie that made you miserable:
“The Outsiders” was a good movie, but it had a depressing ending.
11) List one movie you thought would be great, but it wasn’t:
“The Lion King” is the only thing I can think of right now.
12) List one movie you weren’t brave enough to see:
I’m too afraid to say. Heeheehee. Actually, I don’t go to scary movies. I like comedy, adventure, and romance, especially when they are combined.
13) List one movie character you’ve fallen in love with:
That would have to be Harrison Ford. I fell for him when he starred in the Star Wars series, and he’s still hot. That is my adult choice. When I was around ten, I fell in love with Elvis.
Well, that’s it. That’s my answers. Now, tag; you’re it! It’s your turn to play “The Personal Movie Trivia Meme.”

Thanks for playing!
I like all the movies you like except, ‘when You Were Sleeping’ which I haven’t seen.
Oh and I really love ‘A Room With a View’… can you believe it?
I think the quiet interplay of the characters was wonderfully well done and the cast was great.
I agree with you, too, on the Lion King - it never set me alight to the degree that it did for many others.
I tried to address your excellent point over at my place, thanks for making it.

That’s too funny, Ken. Now, I am tempted to go watch “A Room With a View” again. Maybe I expected too much from it when I watched it because of the big build up my friend had given it. And I will be dropping by your blog again to see how “Pulp Fiction” made you happy.

Well, I admit “E.T.” made me cry too when he died (I was a child back then), but since I am a SF fan, I can’t remember names of the movies that made me laugh

Hi Internaut. Thanks for dropping by. I visited your site and was going to comment on your “robots talking” article but did not know how to comment through the RSS feed. If you want people to post their comments via that route, you are going to have to give us non-techie people a little more direction. But it was an interesting article.

Hi! I was just here to drop my card and I got interested on this meme. I might do this in one of my blogs..Can I? Although I might have a hard time picking just 1 answer for each question,
And I must agree that While You Were Sleeping had a cute ending :)…

Hello eila. Thanks for dropping by. Yes, it was hard to pick just one answer for some of the questions in the movie picks meme. And yes, by all means, play the meme on your blog. Pass the fun along.
