My wonderful friend Zari has tagged me with the “My Favourite 25 Movies” meme. Ack! I have to pick 25? That’s hard since I have so many favorites and they keep changing. But I’ll give it a shot…

01: Sunset Boulevard
02: North by Northwest
03: The Usual Suspects
04: Wizard of Oz
05: Blue Velvet
06: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
07: Casablanca
08: Breakfast At Tiffany’s
09: Singing in the Rain
10: Spirited Away
11: Ghost in the Shell
12: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
13: Fight Club
14: Blade Runner
15: The Quiet Man
16: Treasure of the Sierra Madre
17: Amelie
18: Charade
19: Apocalypse Now
20: The Matrix
21: Raiders of the Lost Ark
22: 2001: A Space Odyssey
23: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
24: Pan’s Labyrinth
25: Seven Samurai
Bonus: Kill Bill 1 & 2

my secretWhew! I know as soon as I post this list I’ll want to change it. Sunset Blvd. and North by Northwest are always my favorites but everything else moves around on the list. I like all of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, Akira Kurasawa, Hayao Miyazaki, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, John Ford, Billy Wilder… man, I could go on and on. I love musicals, action movies, kung fu movies, sci-fi, westerns, anime, etc. The Searchers, Forbidden Planet, King Kong, Wings of Desire, Akira, Ratatouille, LOTR, the Bourne movies… Too many!

So now I need to pass this on… My good buddy and one of my favorite illustrators, David Sones, is my first choice. Because he’s a good target for this meme, Josh Pincus is next. And lastly I’ll get Chickengirl, Jannie Ho, because she’s AWESOME! Woo-hoo! …All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.

    We share similar taste in movies! What about Tim Burton or The Coen Brothers?

    [...] 4. Movies. I’m not an aficionado of celluloid, a guru of film, a gourmand of cinema, but I do love a good movie. [...]
