I’ve been tagged with the film meme by such stuff:
1. Total number of films I own on DVD and video: About 200.
2. Last film I bought: The Red Shoes. (I know, you can’t believe I didn’t already own it, but I only just saw it for the first time
last year.)
3. Last film I watched: Henry Bromell’s Panic, with William H. Macy, Donald Sutherland, and Neve Campbell, a beautiful and alarming neonoir film about a midlife crisis. It sank without trace on its theatrical release five years ago, and shouldn’t have.
4. Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):
– Brad Anderson’s Next Stop Wonderland
– Roman Polanski’s Chinatown
– Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game
– Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count on Me
– Steve Kloves’ The Fabulous Baker Boys
5. If you could be any character portrayed in a movie, who would it be? Dr. Ben Stone, the title character in Doc Hollywood, a sweet little film that is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures.
You’re it, Girl.
