1. The RockIf you know me - you know my obsession with Nicholas Cage - there isn't a good reason for it - but I do love him in some strange unattractive way - not only am I strangely obsessed wih Nick but I also love shoot um up kill um movies.... they make me happy.... Anyway - I love that movie - good action flick and just a good time-killer.
2. The NotebookI know I know - most of you will point and laugh at me... however I just love this movie. It's a total chick flick and I'm totally in love with the whole idea of falling so in love with someone that your souls can't help but die together. It's a beautiful, sad and loving story.
3. Knocked UpI've only seen it once - but I can tell that it is one of those movies that will make me laugh over and over again. It was brilliant! Of course I will need something funny - this one will do it!
4. Best Little Whore House in TexasCome on.... Dolly Parton, Sweet Candy Mountain..... no more words needed.... Mom you understand right?
5. SevenI know kind of thrown out of left field - but I love this movie... I actually just bought it and watched it again - it's such a good thriller. It makes my heart race each and every time I watch it....
There... they are done.... a little bit of everything. I have a shoot um up and kill um, a chick flick, a comedy, a musical and a scary suspensful flick.
I can't believe one of the movies you'd take to a rock in the middle of a huge body of water is about some guys on a rock in the middle of a huge body of water.
ReplyDeleteWell I LOVE The Notebook!!! Seriously BEST chick flick ever created! Also love best little whore house in texas, just haven't seen it in a while. Which has gotta change. I also do love Knocked up, also gotta see again. But good choices!
ReplyDeleteI like the variety. One needs variety on a desert island. Even paradise can get monotonous.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, Kara...
I too have seen The Rock more times than one should. And I really like Nick Cage, but ONLY in his artsy fartsy movies like Adaptation and The Weatherman. Lord of War was pretty good too. OOH and I LOVE Honeymoon in Vegas for some weird reason.
Knocked Up- An instant classic.
Never seen Whorehouse. James likes it. I make fun of him, thusly.
Am I the only girl in the world that is emotionally immune to romance-chick-flicks? I think
I might be... Although I DO like Jane Austen's stuff... I'm not a TOTAL robot. But tears do make me short-circuit. Hmm...
Oh and Seven is great too. Surprising choice, Emily...
ReplyDeleteWell said Kara....
ReplyDelete"I'm gonna take pleasure in guttin' you boy"!
Kara - well stated - however they get off the island.... apparently all I need to do is bomb a bunch of crap and planes will come a flyin...
ReplyDeleteFroe - you are not the only one without emotion - Sarah actually laughed through the whole movie - she said she liked it but would probably never watch it again - she didn't feel the connection... sad little lady!
Haley - I knew you would like my choices... you and I have very similar taste. :)
Froe - you need to see Best Little Whore House In Texas - it's one of those movies that everyone should see atleast 15 times so they can sing along to all the Dolly Parton songs... it's a brilliant movie! I too love all the artsy fartsy Nick movies - however I seem to be drawn to his crap movies too... Gone in 60 Seconds is in my VCR upstairs right now.... I know I'm a nut bag! You know who else I seem to always be drawn to? Bruce Willis....
Dad - "I'd take pleasure in guttin' you boy" - hehehe good line! :)
ReplyDeleteBest Little Whore House in Texas... pure cinematic perfection, in my humble opinion. I love Dolly, love the 'hoes and am struck weak from the fabulous music.
ReplyDeleteI will... nay...I MUST see this on stage! Can you imagine "I Will Always Love You" sung live in a musical? I get teary just thinking about it...
Em, I promise to take you, Sarah and Hopper if it comes to town! K?
Oh and I wanna borrow Seven, used to own it but it's been lost in the shuffle. (What in tarnation does that mean?)
ReplyDeleteEm, I applaud your choices, well done!
THE best part of that movie is seeing ol' Gwen-Gwen's head in a box. I don't hate her... I actually like her in some things. Its just very gratifying to see :)
ReplyDelete(I'm sick)
I love the Notebook! It is my alltime favorites besides GREASE! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh Grease - yes that is a wonderful classic!
ReplyDeleteYou may borrow Seven anytime you'd like mom. I will try to remember to bring it with me on Sunday or the next time I see you...
Also Mom I hold you to the promise of taking me and the sista's.... :)
HATED the Notebook. All others are acceptable.
ReplyDeleteI love BLWIT. (That would be the one about the tramps) "I'll be just fine....and Dandy...Lord it's like a Hard Candy Christmas. I'm barely gettin' through tomorrow. But still I won't let sorrow bring me way down" *fence hop thingy*
Knocked Up was fabulous too. So much of that movie was accurate, too accurate.
So true Sarah!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh.... I just read what I wrote on my actual blog... I'm an idiot - I said it was Sweet Candy Mountain.... it's Hard Candy Christmas - what the hell went through my head - I've seen, heard and sang that song about 5000 times... duh!!! Thank you Sarah for getting it right!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you can see how closely I'm reading your blog. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. :)
ReplyDeleteDitto
ReplyDeleteDamn.... why did I feel the need to point it out... now you see how stupid my brain is!!! :)
