these are a few of my favorite things
i've been adding to my dvd collection, and i mean that i buy 'em two to four at a time. to make it in the hallowed collection, it has to be a movie that i can watch over and over again. or it has to have some emotional significance. and i don't mean that movie that made me cry my eyes out, although i do have a few of those in my collection. when my parents first split up, my brother and i had weekend visits with my mom. and on those weekends, we would go to the movies. we saw a lot of great movies like "the last dragon" and "beat street." we also saw lots of crappy movies, ones that i can't even remember.
i've been thinking about whether or not to switch completely over to dvd's. like should i seek dvd versions of my godzilla movies? star wars trilogy? jaws? the thing? i'm thinking that i'll be making that move sometime in the future...when my pockets get a little deeper than my grad-school stipend allows.
needless to say, i highly recommend all of these movies. take a look at a few of my favorites with some fav quotes. i know some of the quotes won't make much sense because i'm givin 'em to you out of context. all the more reason for you to check out the movies. enjoy.
the outlaw josey wales: "i reckon so." or "whupped 'em again, didn't we, josey?"
jaws: "you're gonna need a bigger boat."
uptown saturday night: "you're my queen, sarah. you're my queen." and "if y'all don't tell me everything i want to know, we gon beat all the black off both of you." and "rotten, boring, and underpaid, but thank you, jesus."
goonies: "slick shoes? are you crazy?"
the princess bride: "as you wish."
bustin loose: "your life, joe, is worth more to me than $15,000, you fool!"
ghostbusters: "listen! you smell something?"
the empire strikes back: "judge me by my size, do you?"
