Borrowed from cadhla...

Nobody's tagged me for this--I just liked the idea.

1. How many films do I own on DVD/video?
I'd say somewhere around forty. I'm trying, little by little, to reduce our vast and tottering video mountain by converting to DVD. It's a slow job.

2. What was the last film I bought?
The Haunting. Both versions. I like both versions, for different reasons.

3. What was the last film I watched?
House of Flying Daggers. I rented it for Jan. Sad, incomprehensible, but beautiful. Not my kind of thing at all really, but I'm glad I saw it.

4. What are five films that I watch a lot, or that mean a lot to me?
* Lord of the Rings. The pinnacle of cinematic achievement, and based on a book I love as well.
* The Wicker Man. As a thriller, as a commentary on religion, and as an example of survival despite horrendous maltreatment. (Okay, it's a movie not a person, but the parallel stands.)
*Young Frankenstein. A masterclass in parody without cruelty, and a very funny film. Mel Brooks was never so good, and probably will never be again.
*What's Up, Doc? I love caper movies in general, and it was a toss-up between this and Hopscotch, but this has just too much.
* Jesus Christ Superstar. As usual, the last slot is the hardest to fill, and this was a tough choice, but Norman Jewison's film version of the musical makes it, if only as a balance to The Wicker Man.

The also-ran list is huge...
