A movies owned meme
As seen in magpiefirefly's journal:
Not including TV and miniseries, what is
…alphabetically, your first movie?
25th Hour, or Alien if we disqualify numbers.
…your last?
The Wild Bunch
…what movie[s] can you quote verbatim?
Ocean's Eleven and Ghostbusters
…the movie[s] for which you know every song?
Very few songs in my movies. There's the opener in High Noon but I couldn't sing it from memory.
…the most recent movie you purchased?
The Searchers. Jumped into my arms from the discount rack at Borders.
…the oldest movie?
High Noon.
…the newest?
Serenity.
…the first movie you bought for yourself?
Ronin, maybe?
…the most unexpected movie in the collection?
The Incredibles, I suppose. It's the only Disney cartoon I own, but then it's so much more than that.
…the kind of movie you would want to be in, with a specific example?
Sci-Fi, spaceships, that kind of thing. Serenity.
…the role in said movie you would want?
If I were Simon, I'd have something to be grumpy and serious about and Jewel Staite would be throwing herself at me even though I'm all serious and grumpy. Perfect.
…arguably the worst movie you own?
I don't own bad movies. Maybe Serenity.
…the next movie you plan on adding to the collection?
The discount rack decides these days.
…the strangest/trippiest movie?
Donnie Darko
…the most frequently recurring actor?
Orlando Bloom, I think. Basically he wins by being in the big trilogy, plus one other (Black Hawk Down).
…the movie you borrowed from someone and conveniently never returned?
Now that magpiefirefly has taken Boondock Saints back, I think I'm legit. My sister gave me a few that I haven't watched yet, but I don't think she wanted them back.
…the longest movie you own?
Is anybody not answering The Return of the King?
…the shortest movie you own?
7 Men From Now
…the movie you quote most frequently?
Ghostbusters or Ocean's Eleven
…the cheesiest movie?
Big Trouble in Little China
…the most frequently recurring genre?
Action Adventure, maybe, if applied broadly. Westerns are getting up there.
…the one for which you’d be most tempted to create fan art or fiction?
Star Trek II, perhaps. There's always room in the Star Trek universe.
…the movie you watch most frequently?
Ocean's Eleven or Ghostbusters. They're just easy to watch. (See also Most Quoted.)
…the movie that’s covered in dust, it’s been so long since you’ve watched it?
Das Boot.
…a movie you’d be okay to lose?
Serenity, maybe?.
…the best soundtrack score (I support thetathx1138's dad's quixotic quest to take back that word.)?
The Two Towers
…the most stereotypically suiting to your particular gender and age?
Black Hawk Down. Guns! War! Blood!
…the most suiting to the era of your youth?
Ghostbusters.
…the family favorite?
The Incredibles, probably
…the biggest cult classic?
Ghostbusters
…the longest running series?
Star Trek, but I only own one from that series.
…a title or story you have more than once, not including sequels lacking creative titles?
None.
…the most violent?
Black Hawk Down
…the youngest/most suitable for baby sitting young kids?
The Incredibles.
…the best PSA gone movie?
Um. Das Experiment reminds us of the importance of ethical reviews when experimenting on human subjects.
…the most educational?
Das Boot, which I watched in German class in high school.
…so bad that it is good?
Big Trouble in Little China is closest to what you're looking for here. But I wouldn't call it bad even with the qualifier.
…the most pathetic plea for money in a franchise?
The Animatrix (not really a movie, but it really stands out)
…the scariest?
Das Experiment
…the most obscure?
Das Experiment
…the best title?
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (neener neener, magpiefirefly)
…the worst title?
The Animatrix (again not really a feature film, again I have to use it)
…a seasonal film?
Seasonal film, seasonal film... well, there's ice skating in Ronin...
…the best TV crossover?
I'm gonna go with Ghostbusters, because I remember the cartoon spinoff being pretty good.
…is the worst sequel?
The Return of the King. I don't buy many sequels, let alone bad ones.
…the best revamped childhood memory?
I might have to say Ghostbusters again, because I saw it once when I was little, watched the cartoon, and saw it again with new eyes many years later.
…a movie that was dubbed/subbed?
Das Boot und Das Experiment
…the total number of movies you own?
33. And I'm surprised it's that many.
…your guilty pleasure film?
Ocean's Eleven, Ghostbusters, or Big Trouble in Little China, except I don't feel guilty about any of them.
I have to wonder how long it would take thetathx1138 to fill this out.
