Jan. 12th, 2005 10:24 amBecause I know you're all just dying of curiosity . . . here are the answers to The Movie Meme.
1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, correctly guessed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hackthis. One of my all-time favorite flicks.
2. Thirteen Ghosts (2001). I know, I know... the original was so much better. I can't help it. I like this one.
3. Time Bandits. Not a Monty Python movie, but starring most of the Python troupe. Funny, poignant, and seriously questions the universe that we take so much for granted.
4. To Sleep With A Vampire. Terrible title, not a great movie, although it has a few promising moments . . . but the vampire delivers the lines I've quoted with such ponderous sincerity, it approaches camp. Otherwise, the movie is really just a thinly disguised porn flick.
5. The Shawshank Redemption. Notable because I read the Stephen King story first, many times over, and I was amazed at the vast amounts of dialogue that came straight from the pages. Also, a damned fine movie despite some departures from the text.
6. Pleasantville. I still like to amuse myself by counting Riley appearances, but it's such a cute little movie, really. A bit heavy-handed at times, but I love it.
7. The Lost Boys, correctly answered bytreetracer. Fabulously goofy, cheesy movie. Too many entertaining lines to quote, really.
8. The Mummy (1999). More funny stuff, but most of the best lines are in the delivery.
9. Moonstruck. Love, love, LOVE this movie! I never get enough of it.
10. Jaws. Come on, you know you dig it too! Although I don't know how Richard Dreyfuss kept from beating the crap out of Robert Shaw on a daily basis. You could totally tell that the actors HATED each other.
