I've joined a FB game of posting your favorite movies.
I think I've written about all of these here before (maybe?), but it's always fun to do another round-up and to try to give a glimpse of why you love a movie.
These are screencaps of the first five, from the past week:

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, 1984, dir. Leonard Nimoy (Spock)
Holiday, dir. George Cukor
Some very interesting movie choices. Even prompted me to put a few on hold at my library.
ReplyDeleteMy parents took us kids to lots of movies mainly because the local university had showings for ridiculous prices. A quarter for adults and 10 cents for kids. This lead to seeing some interesting movies at young ages before the movie rating system. Advise and Consent at 12 years old?

KIRSTEN: Same here! When I was a kid my parents took me to lots of movies put on by the UW Film Society, for less than a dollar--I have happpy memories of sitting in big lecture halls, listening to the whir of the film projector.
ReplyDeleteThen when I was a teenager, I went on my own.
And also my parents took us to see any- and everything.
I remember the ticket seller telling my father "Death in Venice" wasn't appropriate for a ten year old (me)---but since it was unrated, she couldn't refuse to let me in.
And I loved that movie--the cranked-up romanticism is actually pretty perfect for a ten year old!
I haven't seen it since, but have vivid memories of the beautiful boy & the Mahler music.
P.S. I meant Death in Venice was showing at a regular theater, not the U, where they never carded anyone.
