Fifteen movies...

[fajrdrako]

Because my Dunnett friends have urged me to it, another Facebook list: The rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen films you've seen that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.

1. The Music Man (pivotal and influential for me; I saw it at nine and fell in love with it)
2. My Fair Lady (Shaw! music! It made me laugh. I saw it at twelve. Can you see my life falling into place here?)
3. The Iron Giant (the only animation on this list; it moved me)
4. The Lion in Winter (both versions, but particularly the Peter O'Toole version)
5. The Three Lives of Thomasina
6. Mamma Mia!
7. The Moon-Spinners
8. The Lord of the Rings
9. Moonighting
10. Dangerous Liasons (the one with Glenn Close)
11. Henry V (Kenneth Branagh version)
12. Casino Royale (with Daniel Craog)
13. Casablanca
14. The Merchant of Venice (with Jeremy Irons as Angelo)
15. Le Roi Danse

That took ten minutes. Not definitive, of course; in fact, there are many movies that will stick with me, if only because they were so terrible they haunt me when I'm thinking of terrible movies.

And there are many more than fifteen movies that will stick with me.
