Same but different

I've tentatively set myself the goal of posting 20 times this month. To that end, I'm repeating my last post and adapting the meme questions (where necessary) to ask about movies.

One movie...

that you saw last: Possession, based on the book by A. S. Byatt

that changed your life: Forrest Gump. Not because I particularly like it, but because we did it in English at school and now I will never not consider the significance of movies' opening sequences.

you’ve seen more than once: The Lion King.

you walked out of/turned off before the end: I've never walked out of a movie theatre. On DVD, Anchorman was one I couldn't finish.

you’d want on a deserted island: Mamma Mia!

that made you laugh: Flash Gordon. At, not with.

that made you cry: Movies with lost animals were the worst for me as a kid. Milo and Otis. Homeward Bound. Eventually I started refusing to watch them. I'm still pathetic. I think I even cried a little bit in High School Musical 3.

you watch over and over: Lately, The Jane Austen Book Club. I've seen it three times and don't intend to stop any time soon.

you’ve been meaning to watch: Alien

you believe everyone should watch: The Matrix. It's just one you ought to know, in the same way you ought to be at least vaguely familiar with Harry Potter and the Beatles.

Pick a quote from a movie. First commentor to name the movie wins!

My quote: "Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void."
