Film meme

Tagged by oursin


1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video:

Really not sure about this. Maybe about 20?


2) The last film I bought:

Gosford Park

3) The last film I watched:

Donnie Darko (DVD) or The Incredibles (cinema). I almost went to see the Hitchhikers film this week, but couldn't muster up enough enthusiasm after reading a few reviews of it.

4) Five (oh, all right, six) films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (from which it will be gathered that I generally watch films for light entertainment and a bit of a giggle)

Toy Story 2
Much Ado About Nothing (Branagh)
The Fifth Element
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
O Brother Where Art Thou
Dr Strangelove

I'm probably forgetting something terribly important here, and I've got six because I couldn't decide between two of them.

...5) Tag 5 people and have them put this in their journal:

biascut, zugenia, eye_of_a_cat, seeingstars, sollersuk ... in fact, everyone who wants to.

I haven't seen many classic films at all, so I'm hoping that this meme will turn up a few I ought to watch. Anyone want to recommend me some?

Reading update

Read:
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own
Ian Pears, The Titian Committee
Miss Read, Farewell to Fairacre
Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere

Reading:
Jules Verne, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (not sure whose translation as Wordsworth Classics seem to be reluctant to tell me)

I still need to write up thoughts on these, but it's not going to be today because I'm too tired. I forgot to take my glasses with me this morning, and I've got a headache now.
