You know what always reminds me of how things have changed over time? Movies. Seriously.
At the recommendation of my Work BFF™, I had Netflix send me Roman Holiday. It’s her favorite movie, and how can we continue our Work BFF™ relationship if I’ve never seen her favorite movie?
In one of the first scenes of the movie, Audrey Hepburn is passed out in the back of a cab and Gregory Peck is smacking her upside the face to try to wake her up.
I realize their’s no current comparison to Audrey to make this a fair comparison, but if one were to make a movie in 2007 with maybe Brad Pitt leaving hand prints on Reese Witherspoon’s little face, it would be rated R for questionable violence. Now, the Netflix envelope for the DVD says Roman Holiday is unrated, but I have a feeling you wouldn’t have had to be 17 to see this 54 years ago when the movie was made.
What are your favorite movies? We can’t be Blog BFF™s if I haven’t seen your favorite movie!
my favorite movie of all time is Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I love Audrey….
I thought about you as soon as I put it in the DVD player today!
My faves are Se7en and Reservoir Dogs. Pretty far away from Audrey.
I’ve seen Se7en and loved it. I should watch it again…
I’ll add Reservoir Dogs to the list! I think I got it once and sent it back without watching it once for some reason…
my favorite movie is blue by krzysztof kieslowski. DO IT. you’ve probably seen the rest of my favorites.
I just added it!
My favorites are The Sound of Music and Friday. I *heart* Julie Andrews!
The Sound of Music is one I’m embarrassed I haven’t seen. I think I bough t it once just to say I have it.
And Friday? Yes, definitely a classic!
I can’t narrow it down to a single favorite. My default answer is Purple Rain because I love Prince and I don’t care at all that it isn’t a very good movie. At least it is an original answer.
The movies we own are all comedies that I can watch over and over (So I Married an Axe Murderer, Tommy Boy, Dirty Work, Happy Gilmore etc.)
I can absolutely appreciate comedies like that… that’s probably the majority of my collection, too. Anchorman, Zoolander, and the ones you’ve mentioned!
Man, I haven’t seen Purple Rain in forever. AND, when you’re here for The 3 Day, it’s like you’ll be visiting where Prince is FROM. ;)
Hey; You can’t beat those “Ernest” movies. Especially Ernest Goes To Camp……..
