1. What was your favorite movie when you were 10 years old?
Ummmm. That was so long ago (though not really). I'm thinking probably The Apple Dumpling Gang, Mission Impossible, or The Avengers, haha.

2. What's your favorite movie now?
Good golly gosh, how should I know? The Magnificent Seven always, but I feel like there's a movie I recently watched that I really thought was amazing. Oh, I've got a good one! On of my favorite comedies that is surprisingly obscure and incredibly enjoyable is 'It Should Happen to You', starring Judy Holliday, an absolutely delightful actress, and made in 1954. I love it a lot.
3. What would be your dream cast for an adaptation of your favorite book?
I have not thought up a complete dream cast for one particular book, but I have thought of actors I think would match certain characters perfectly. Like Hans Gudegast as Baron Dietrich von Schonheim in the Borrowed House, or Skandar Keynes as Edmund from the Golden Princess and the Moon. I know he's already Edmund, but he'd make a good Edmund in that too.
4. What's your favorite movie soundtrack?
Arggghhh, this is so hard! To Kill a Mockingbird is very high on the list, as are the Lord of the Rings, True Grit (1969), The Magnificent Seven, and Big Jake. Love me some Elmer Bernstein!
5. Do you have a favorite movie-watching snack?
I actually am partial to Little Debbie's cosmic brownies while watching a good movie. They're so tasty, even if they do put ingredients in there I don't want to know about.

6. Who is your favorite person to watch movies with?
Well Anna of course. I also have two friends who I've only seen a couple movies with, but they have proved themselves to be excellent movie-goers. Just enough commentary to show they're interested in the plotline, adequate gasps and chuckles, and an intelligent analysis of the film once it's finished. Oh, and they will also quote the film with Anna and me afterwards, so that's aboslutely fantastic.
7. Is there a hairstyle in a movie you've always wished you could pull off?
Not that I can think of. Any hairdo worn by a female in Middle-earth is epic, but my hair is actually long enough to pull them off, so I don't have to wish lol.

8. What movie animal would you like as a pet?
Brego is a wonderful horse. I would like him. I would also like Shadowfax, but I know he wouldn't let me ride him. Dog from Big Jake would be epic, and the wolf from the Journey of Natty Gann would also not disappoint me.
9. What movie house would you like to stay in on vacation?
I'm feeling like any Victorian mansion or colonial farm house right now. And of course the treehouse from Swiss Family Robinson (1960).
10. What's the oldest movie you've watched?
Where Are My Children, made in 1916. An incredibly intense silent film about abortion that I should totally review sometime.

11. What's the newest movie you've watched?
Midway, I think. The 2019 version. It was one of the best modern movies I've seen, for sure.
And there we go! Those were really good questions. Now I'm gonna tag a few bloggers!

The Apple Dumpling Gang! I think we watched that one when I was little...and I haven't thought about it in ages!
ReplyDeleteWatching movies with sisters is the absolute best. :)
Female hair in Middle Earth is excellent! I should try doing my hair like that more often.
Oh, and thanks again for the tag!!
DeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteThe Apple Dumpling Gang is prime Disney entertainment, for sure.
You should do your hair like that! Everyone should, except for guys. Even if Legolas and Aragorn look good in it long hair, the times change lol
AGGGHH this tag is such fun! You are justly popular. :) Midway is SUCH a good movie, I really wanna watch it again (and so does my little sister...so we should really make time). And isn't it great to have good movie-watching partners? A legitimate test of friendship right there. :)
ReplyDeleteYour questions are PERFECTION and I CANNOT WAIT to answer them. *scurries off to draft a post*
It is a legitimate test of friendship! That's why I worry about some of my friends... lol Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your answers!
Congratulations on your well-deserved popularity, haha!! And thank you for tagging me, I shall greatly enjoy doing this!
ReplyDeleteDude, The Apple Dumpling Gang was the best! (I remember watching the sequel but I don't remember loving it? I don't really remember anything about it.) Also No Deposit, No Return, my sisters and I LOVED that one, did you ever watch it? (It has Don Knotts but no Tim Conway sadly.)
I am really interested in that silent movie! Or at least in your potential future review of it, because I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy actually watching a silent movie...I should try it sometime, I suppose.
