Favorite movie - Tough choice. The Lord Of The Rings. And yes, I'm cheating and claiming all three together, as it was all one book to start of with anyway.
Worst Movie Seen - Dragon Fighter. Watched it on SciFi channel recently. An embarrassment to the meager 2 brain cells I spent paying attention to it.
Last Movie Seen (in theater) - Chicago. Splendid-- everyone should go see it.
Last Movie Seen (on video) - Donnie Darko, as I recorded it from cable.
Most Depressing Movie Seen - A Simple Plan. It all starts small, and snowballs. In a bad way. A very, very bad way.
Funniest Movie Seen - A Fish Called Wanda. "Oh no! It's K-K-Ken coming to k-k-kkill me!"
Most Romantic Movie - Moulin Rouge. Because that was it's entire point-- romanticism.
Movie That Always Makes Me Cry - No movies "always" make me cry. But I've cried twice for Braveheart.
Movie Seen the Most Times - Hm... probably Sleepless In Seattle, or The little Mermaid. Or maybe Get Shorty. I can't quite remember for sure...

Re: " But I've cried twice for Braveheart"
Date: 2003-01-15 04:27 am (UTC)One my ex-girlfriends is a scotish nationalist, and her chief objection to Braveheart was the way it treated Robert The Bruce. He is a great scotish hero where as William Wallace was (and I quote, but with out her accent) "An educated, but viscous thug who dressed up his rather colourful career of looting as Scottish Nationalism.".
Me I jusr dread an entire generation of Children growing up thing the Scots sacked York (they didn't), that a french princess and Wallace had an affair (she didn't even enter the country until after his death) and Edward Longshanks was evil (ok, they got that bit right! But he was also the first english King to recognise the strategic importance of the Longbow, so we owe that).
Its a good film though, Braveheart!
Will try get the name thing right tonight. Watch this space!
