Is your taste in films a window into your mind?

[I'm Murrin]

On that subject, I have a hard time watching the director's cut of Alien because of the slow opening, and the one time I sat down to watch 2001 I gave up after half an hour.

I would have trouble naming a top ten films. First because I find it hard to rank them, second because at any given time I may not be able to remember even my favourites. I'm struggling to think of more than a few right now. (Monsters would be one of them. I know that.)

psycho
on the waterfront
and Thelma and Louise

SHOULD have been on my list.

oh also

Alien.


but I slowed down and stopped.

there's tons more films that I absolutely love
so many I just couldn't think of them all.

its worse with books. heh.


are you familiar with my avatar?
do you know who she is?
wasn't sure if you meant because you know
who she is you'da thunk of those films
or just because of how she looks.

No lucimay - I don't recognise her, but she has a 'jazz' look about her. She holds her cigarette as if it were an extension of her personality and I'm betting she smokes lot's of them a day. I think she's an artist or a musician [writer?], but a deep and not altogether happy person. There is a sadness about her emphasised by the grainy texture of the black and white image. Though she smiles there is pain also in that face. These are the things that influenced my choice of films, so the list is perhaps really hers more than yours, or perhaps yours at a second remove if you get what I mean.

Back to favorite films - how did I forget 'Man in the Moon' starring Jim Carey as the irreplacable Andy Kaufman.

very interesting, how much you could tell about her from her photo.

here is a brief bio

and here's another little known fact about my muse slash avatar

[peter]

That was pretty close - I also could have added the early death [would have been alcohol/drug related] but I didn't want to get too dark.

Here's a contempory poet John Cooper Clarke [aka the Bard of Salford] performing his classic 'Beasley Street'. The Zeitgiest of Mrs Thatchers Britain. [If you like this check out his classic ending to one episode of 'the Soprano's' evidently chickentown.

oh yeah hilarious that 70s movies are now "old" movies to your kids like 40s and 50s movies were "old" to us, right?

LuciMay, 90's films are old to kids today.

To put it in perspective, The Matrix is closer to Princess Bride than it is to Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
