Thanks, Suzanne, this is a fun little thing to do.

The rules are simple:
Bold movies you have watched and liked.
Turn red movies you have watched and loved.
Italicize movies you saw and didn’t like.
Leave as is movies you haven’t seen.

This also made me realize that there are a number of movies that I've fallen asleep in. Whoops. Also, there are a couple movies that I marked as movies I didn't like where I think I would have liked them better with less gore, violence, etc. For instance, Silence of the Lambs. It really is a pretty good movie. But I don't think I could ever watch it again. Too many nightmares.

I know this sounds really strange, but for some reason, I suddenly wish having the foreign movies they played on campus once a week at BYU. Well, not all of them were foreign, but I forgot what they called them... think they played in the SWKT. Free movies were the best! That's where I watched my first Charlie Chaplin movie.

International Cinema! I miss those. They played some good films, and like you said, they were free. Also, I saw a lot of those "classic" movies for my film class. And thus they were also free. I'm what you might call "cheap."

All the thanks for this goes to Ali, which is one of the blogs linked on mine.

I think the most interesting aspect of this meme is seeing which movies people hated.
