Day 22: The Movie With Your Favorite Kissing Scene
E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982) I spent the past 2 days thinking on this, wondering (1) if I really cared that much, and (2) was I going to pick one of three great kissing scenes from Hitchcock’s films (Notorious, Rear Window,… Continue reading

Day 21: The Movie With Your Favorite Death Scene
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998) I struggled between a comedic and an honorable death scene. It looks like the honorable won out over the comedic (which would have been Boba Fett and the Sarlacc Pit). There’s nothing hardly anything more honorable… Continue reading

Day 20: A Movie In Which You Wish You Played The Main Character
DIE HARD (1988) Bring home the holidays in style by killing some European terrorists, blowing up a building all while saving your estranged marriage. What other way would you want to spend Christmas Eve? Come on… who wouldn’t want to… Continue reading

Day 19: A Movie Featuring Your Favorite Villain
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) I could have gone the easy route: Darth Vader. I could have gone the more obscure route too, and mention one that you haven’t thought about in years: Annie Wilkes in Misery. But the reason… Continue reading

Day 17: A Movie Featuring Your Favorite Actress
GALAXY QUEST (1999) I don’t really have a favorite actress, but I do have favorite actors. (Does that make me sexest?) Anyway, I’ve always enjoyed watching Sigourney Weaver in almost everything she does, so I picked a film that she… Continue reading

Day 16: A Movie You Wish Had A Sequel
SILVERADO (1985) This is like a 50/50 tie with today’s selection. I would just as much wish this title had a sequel as much as I’m very glad there isn’t one. We all know how sequels go and 90% of… Continue reading

Day 15: A Movie You Could Watch Over And Over Again
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1993) This was a hard choice, but only because there are several movies that I like to watch over and over again. My wife and I revisit some of the same films many times a year, and… Continue reading

Day 14: A Movie That Best Describes You
THE APARTMENT (1960) This was very hard to pick. I’ve never been asked to pick a movie that describes me, let alone define me. At first I was going to pick Dirty Harry, but I’m no so sure how that… Continue reading

Day 13: A Movie That No One Would Expect You To Love
THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY (1995) This film is the perfect example of DAY 13’s selection. Everyone knows that I love Clint Eastwood, but most don’t know about this. While some find the film incredibly boring and/or slow (and others… Continue reading
