OK, Megan, it's official, I hate you. :)<BR/><BR/>And I have now changed my image of my nagging writing elf from a tiny little annoying creature with green skin to Orlando, lounging next to my desk, urging me in his yummy accent to please do hurry up and finish that book, we have so many more important things to take care of. Maybe the quality of my writing will improve immensely.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, my top five favorite movies. That's a tough one. Just out of curiosity, I searched some movie review sites for other "top movie" lists. Roger Ebert lists his top 5 as: Aguire Wrath of God, Apocalypse Now, Citizen Kane, Dekalog, and La dolce vita. Now, my list would not be Great Cinema like that, because I'm just too shallow. Here are some favorites:<BR/>Funny Face<BR/>Shakespeare in Love<BR/>The English Patient<BR/>Room With a View (because Cara is just so right)<BR/>Breakfast at Tiffany's<BR/><BR/>And I do like Titanic, but only because I really, really lust after those clothes. I would kill for that big purple hat. :) And The Awful Truth. OK, that's top 7.Amanda McCabe/Amanda Carmack/Laurel McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575437197334661544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1130546913815897202005-10-28T17:48:00.000-07:002005-10-28T17:48:00.000-07:00You know, I laud my husband's looks so much, you a...You know, I laud my husband's looks so much, you all will meet him and say (to yourselves, if not me), "Hmph. He's not all that." <BR/><BR/>So pretend I said he was a troll with ear hair. Then you'll be really impressed.<BR/><BR/>My favorite movies (not claiming them as the best, just ones I really like):<BR/><BR/>The Last Waltz <BR/>Moonstruck<BR/>Big Sleep<BR/>House of Flying Daggers<BR/>Lion In Winter<BR/><BR/>Amanda, what're yours?Megan Framptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196738392230684978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1130529671186095702005-10-28T13:01:00.000-07:002005-10-28T13:01:00.000-07:00Your spouse looks like Legolas???

Wow, Megan, some women have all the luck!!!!!<BR/><BR/>As to that top 5 -- I look at that list and think "violent, violent, violent, violent, violent." Wow. And it really leans toward modern movies.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't argue that my favorite five movies are the best five movies ever... I suppose if I were to try to pick five that satisfied both criteria, it might be something like:<BR/><BR/>-- Singin' in the Rain<BR/>-- Shakespeare in Love<BR/>-- Star Wars<BR/>-- His Girl Friday<BR/>-- A Room With a View<BR/><BR/>(Much less violent list!)<BR/><BR/>CaraCara Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930608028959652445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1130523787877855572005-10-28T11:23:00.000-07:002005-10-28T11:23:00.000-07:00Mojito, hands down. And, just to be controversial,...Mojito, hands down. And, just to be controversial, I say year-round, too.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a muse. I've just got a continual bunch of scenes scrolling around in my head and characters I'd like to know.<BR/><BR/>One of these days I'm going to email you a pic of my husband when he had waist-length blond hair--when we saw LOTR 1, we stared at each other when Legolas came on-screen. Looked a lot like the spouse.Megan Framptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196738392230684978noreply@blogger.com
