My good friend from across the pond, Steve Langdon at
THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, has graciously bestowed an honor and a
meme tag upon
moi (along with
Nigel Maskell and
Keith). As best as I can ascertain, the purpose of this meme to identify and list the films that I'll watch repeatedly. I don't believe it is meant to show folks that I've seen a bunch of films (though my wife would argue), or that I have in my possession any keen or great cinema expertise (my wife just laughed at that one). Still, these do typify the movies that I've seen more than once and that I
know (and
she-who-must-be-obeyed knows) I will come back to again... and again. I'm sure there'll be some people that will either agree with or argue over these selections. Or, ask:
"Really? That one?!?"
Steve himself put together a marvelous list, and I couldn't help myself by taking sneak peaks at those before me. Steve was tagged by
Ian Smith, who was tagged by
Brian Sibley (via
Good Dog), byway of
Stephen Gallagher. These skilled British writers (and bloggers) definitely show how wonderfully varied the
watch over and over lists can be (and that I have my work cut out to put together anything near as good). The rules for this meme are as follows:
- Provide a non-exhaustive list of films you’ll happily watch again and again.
- There is no rule 2.
- Reprint the rules.
- Tag three others and ask them to do the same.
So before the jump, I'll tag and nominate:
