once tagged for this meme, you list ten movies: your Five Favorites and Five Guilty Pleasures. Then, pick five of your friends and tag them. No tag-backs. Include this explanation.
Five Favorites:
1. Harvey – Jimmy Stewart, EXTREMELY quotable, great acting and a rabbit! What’s not to love?
2. Mission Impossible (1) – Tom Cruise, even though the man has gone crazy, I can still appreciate him as an actor and as eye candy. I love the quotes from this movie especially “You’ve never seen me ‘very upset.” Great action, great plot twists and who can’t love the theme music?
3. The Prestige – Go watch it now if you haven’t. That’s all I’ll say. Great “mess with your head” movie.
4. Princess Bride – “As you wish….”
5. Serenity (do I even need to say why? Okay I will. Love the opening sequences, great lines and the idea of “getting rid of sin makes a better world” makes for interesting brain food.
Five Guilty Pleasures:
1. Batman (the tv show movie) – Corny, but great.
2. Treasure Planet (extremely underrated geek movie)
3. Talladega Nights (I have a weird love of redneck humor… granted I watched the airplane version of this movie)
4. Curious George (Yeah, I like kid movies… this one is just pure kid sugary fun)
5. The Cheap Detective (Peter Falk, this is kind of like ‘Scary Movie” is for horror films only SO much better.. it makes fun of every detective flick out there… great movie, very funny, very quotable)
I tag.. whomever wants to do this.

Princess Bride is my all time favorite movie! Hands down!
As a kid, I watched it 5 times a day without fail, then as I got older, 3 times a day. I kept cutting it back… Now, I watch it every once and again. But I can recite the whole movie word for word and make all the sound effects now.
*facepalm* I’m such a dork!
Not saying Harvey isn’t quotable, it’s just, I’ve seen it and I don’t remember any quotes…
Casablanca, on the other hand, now that’s a quotable movie!
“The evening wore on…. with your permission I’ll say it again… the evening wore on..”
“The name is Dowd. Elwood P.”
“Here, let me give you one of my cards. Now if you should want to call me, use this number. This other one is the old number.”
“Myrtle Mae, you have a lot to learn, and I hope you never learn it.”
“What can I do for you?”
“What did you have in mind?
“You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space, but any objections.”
“Miss Kelly, you make this flower look beautiful.”
and of course, my favorite:
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Elwood, you must be” – she always called me Elwood – “In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.” Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
hehehe… nah.. you’re normal like the rest of us!
Those are all very sweet.
Personally I prefer ironic quotes.
That’s why Captain Renault is my hero.
I can understand that.. Casablanca is on the top of my “best movies of all time” list… I think it’s awesome. And, going back to the whole House, MD thing – there’s this GREAT scene with him and Casablanca… you have to watch up to Season 3 though.
I love ironic… but I can be ironic/sarcastic at the drop of a hat…
I have to rent House. It’s on my list of “Things to do with my life after I graduate.” Other things on the list include:
-rent Heroes
-rent Battlestar Gallactica
-rent The Office (US)
-rent The Office (UK)
-rent Doctor Who
-rent Rescue Me
-find some way of making money that is not mind-numbing and soul-crushing.
well, speaking from experience the last one is a FUN *ahem* search. Though I love/d my job after college.
And… I didn’t believe this when I first was going to graduate… but life after graduation gets busier.
Really?
I am kinda looking forward to going out into the real world to make it on my own. What I’m worried about is that my BA won’t actually be worth much on the job market.
Well, honestly, *most* people don’t do what their BA is… what’s worth something is that you have one.
I got a communications job (with my communications degree)… but most of my friends are working outside their BA.
I’d forgotten about how much I liked The Cheap Detective — then there’s The Princess Bride, one of the greatest movies ever.
My guilty pleasure is the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. In between the places where others interfered and screwed it up, you can still detect traces of the Joss genius, especially in some of the dialogue.
I think you’ve just proven how quoteable that movie is — some of those are very Josslike.
lol… thanks! GREAT icon btw.
I haven’t seen it yet…. though someone told me the other day that they *loved* that movie.
The icon’s still another great kazzy_cee production!
Much as I liked it, I’m afraid you can tell the parts where Joss wasn’t in control. Even back then, I think if he’d been given creative license he’d have created a movie that would be on the list of classics today.
