Operation Hottie Kidnap
Two of my favourite films of all time
My dvd collection has surprised a few people! Anyone who has seen it, since I split with my ex and they can now see exactly what is mine, have been shocked at how non-girlie it is! I have the odd chick-flick, but most of those I have 'gained' and not bought myself, i.e. my ex's sister lived with him before we met and I think she left some of her dvds behind and he assumed they were mine, so I got them when we split! And before I moved in with him I lived in a house share with 3 guys... their various ex's left some behind at various points I think and I seemed to gain 'custody' of them!
The majority of my dvds are tv series (CSI, Bones, Sons of Anarchy, Silent Witness, Waking the Dead, etc), war films (WW1, WW2 and Vietnam), historical fiction (Sharpe, Hornblower, Elizabeth etc), action thrillers or myth/magic. Really must start upping my Westerns collection as well. I was brought up watching Western films and Vietnam films as a kid, nothing like them now when I'm feeling a little blue!
Scarily enough, I catalogued my dvds on an excel document the other week (yes, I know, I'm sad!), and I now have over 300... and an Amazon wish list full of the darned things!

Fave line from a film :
Lois Lane from superman, She questions Clark Kents goody too shoes persona: " Oh and I suppose all this money youre earning is going home to your grey haired old mother."
Clark Kent : " You misunderstand me, I care about the society we live in and (*whispered*) my mother is silver haired"
Always moves me, however many times I watch it. I guess thats how I hope my son thinks about me.

some films that really stuck with me for ages afterwards:
The Devil's Advocate
Being John Malcovich
The Talented Mr Ripley
Fight Club
When I first saw each of these films I was sort of contemplating them for days afterwards...

Another vote for Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Wasn't sure what category to put it in, but this fits!
I've mentioned it to others but they do not get it or enjoy it.
They think Dumb and Dumber or Liar Liar etc.
My favourite line from a movie is from the excellent "The Usual Suspects"
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

sounds like I'm going to have to add eternal sunshine to my list
The film probably attracts the usual Jim Carrey fans who are expecting him to be his usual big ham self and then are disappointed when he's not. Yet those who would like this film are put off when they find out he's the male lead. And Kate Winslet is out of character to ~ inasmuch as actors tend to play typical types that is.
Another of my favourites is Little Miss Sunshine (and no I don't have a thing about sunshine
) ~ but then I really like Greg Kinnear.

Love that film, probably cos Michelle Pfeiffer is my girl crush.
I'm not really a film person, but loved Steel Magnolias, Green Mile, The Pursuit of Happyness, The Blindside. The Hurricane.
I like films that show the goodness in people.
