I’m not a true movie buff. I’d much rather curl up with a good book and lose myself in a story that way. And I have trouble sitting still through a movie at home–I always end up on the laptop or doing something else and barely pay attention to the movie. And don’t even suggest going to a theatre. Blech. Noisy teenagers, cell phones ringing (even though there was a reminder to turn them OFF!), floors sticky with spilled soda and gum, exhorbitant prices. Torture. or maybe I’m just getting old . . . .
Anyhow, here’s my list. These are ones that I can pay attention to, make Mike stop when he tries to flip right past them when they’re on TV, and can recognize the actor’s lines. Once again, no particular order.
- Prince of Tides
- Catch Me If You Can
- Save the Last Dance
- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- The Wall (Pink Floyd)
- Castaway
- That Thing You Do
- Ocean’s Eleven
- The Thomas Crown Affair
- Heathers
- Shawshank Redemption
- Office Space
