I suppose I need to stop buying sandwiches and poncy salads from Tesco express as they are probably the culprit behind my waking up with an upset tummy this morning. I get to spend the day at home watching movies in front of the fire. I’m going to catch up on all the new-to-me releases on Virgin On Demand.
I like some pretty dumb movies. I like horror movies, but not slasher ones like Saw. I am also a sucker for romantic comedies. And action! I do love some action movies, although there aren’t that many very good ones.
Someone asked me what my five favourite movies were and I just drew a blank at the time. Since then, I’ve mulled it over and I think they are:
1. Die Hard. This movie is perfect. The plot is perfect. The acting is great. It’s exactly what an action movie should be. Sure, shit blows up, but it relies primarily on plot and characters to be entertaining. By the way, Air Force One is pretty much the same movie on an airplane and I love that one, too.
2. Gone With The Wind. Because it’s Gone With The Wind and I’m a girl. Duh.
3. True Romance. What a cast! And has there ever been a finer performance than the stand-off between Clarence and Drexel? White Boy Day indeed!
4. Coming To America. I never, ever get tired of this silly movie and I’ve probably watched it thirty times. I probably know every line. No matter! It’s always funny. SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!
5. Huh… picking number five is hard! OK. The Forty-Year-Old Virgin. I love all of Seth Rogan’s movies. I love the way there’s always a Judeo-Christian moral with a twist. This adds poignancy to them and sets them apart from the other crude boy-humour comedies.
So, I’m clearly not a very high-brow movie watcher. If I want a Henry James story then I will read a Henry James novel. When I’m sat in front of the boob tube, I want shit to blow up and the hero to say “Yippie-Ki-Yay Motherfucker.”
