Remember...

The first movie you remember seeing on the big screen:
Pete's Dragon with my parents at the old 051 cinema in Liverpool.

Movie from which you can quote multiple lines in your sleep:

Adventure In Babysitting
'Get in the car and run him over.'
'I can't -- contagious.'
'I mean, your eyes, your hair.' 'What about them?' 'They're so well placed.'
'Thor's my hero.' 'Thor's a homo.'
'It was just pool of mushy goo.' 'Like spagettios?' 'Like spagettios with meat.' 'Oooh gross.'
'How can a righteous babe like you be lonely.' 'That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Wanna go to bed?'
'Ted Lesher? Loyola Law?'
'We're at my dad's party.'
'Nobody leaves this place without singin' the blues.'

Director (dead or alive) that you?d most want to have dinner with:

Young Orson Welles. Before the life got to him.

Movie that should have won an Oscar but didn?t:
The Ice Storm was robbed.

Movie that didn?t disappoint despite being the adaptation of a book:
Since I make a point of not reading a book if there's a mere hint of a film or tv adaptation in the offering so I can watch the thing without impunity I can't really compare. BUT if I can include Shakespeare since his plays are printed in books, Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing pretty much covered all the bases.

Movie you were dragged to by someone else expecting to hate, but which you loved:

Funnily enough Twister. Always go with the worst expectations and you'll never be disappointed.

Movie that scares the crap out of you no matter how many times you see it:
All The President's Men.

Movie that makes you bawl no matter how many times you see it:
Map of the Human Heart. I haven't actually seen the film for seven years simply because the ending is so sad. But if you want a film you've heard of, Amy Heckerling's Loser. Wrong, I know.

Movie that still has you rolling on the floor with laughter no matter how many times you?ve seen it:
Shaun of the Dead. 'Would anyone like a ... peanut?' [via]
