I'm cruising my Google Reader when I discover that Fletch over at Blog Cabins has tagged me with the Alphabet Meme! Long and short of it, you pick your favorite film for each letter of the alphabet.
Here goes:
Army of Darkness
Big Lebowski, The
Coming to America
Die Hard
Elf
Forty Year Old Virgin, The
Ghostbusters
History of Violence, A
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
(Trust me Fletch, I'm not breaking Rule #3!)
Jerk, The
Kill Bill, Vol. 1
Long Kiss Goodnight, The
Moulin Rouge!
National Lampoon's Vacation
Old School
Pulp Fiction
Quills
Robocop
Sin City
Transformers: The Movie (1986 animated version)
Unforgiven
V for Vendetta
Where the Truth Lies
X-Men 2
Y tu mamá también
Zi hudie (aka Purple Butterfly)
The letter "S" was my toughest by far. I had to whittle down my selection from a dozen top contenders including Sweet Sweetback's Badassss Song, Superman and Secretary. "Q" was a no brainer for me. Geoffrey Rush, the recently retired Joaquin Phoenix, and the too much for words Kate Winslet made that one a easy pick.
I'm under strict adherence to Rule #6 to tag five other people to play. Drumroll please...

One thing that helped me compile this quickly was using my ratings from Netflix where you can sort them by letter.

Great list! I had the same easy pick for "Q" as well.
ReplyDeleteV for Vendetta wins again! I love ELF - what a great choice.
ReplyDelete@rachel- I see we share great taste.
ReplyDelete@jess- It was either Elf or Eternal Sunshine, but I wasn't trying to copy Fletch exactly!
Oh man--you mean I actually have to think? Dang! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest, I've never watched Quills because of the horrible DVD cover. But if it's on your list...maybe I'll bite the bullet.
ReplyDelete@IW- Yes! I'm excited to see your list.
ReplyDelete@blake- The cover is bad but the acting is great. It is vulgar and nasty at times, but you can't turn away.
Guess I'm in the minority on Quills...hated it!
ReplyDelete@IW- Not a Quills fan?! I know you like Phoenix, so what turned you off?
