First of all, I just want to say that Mike Ruby is the best person in the entire freakin' world. Not only did he provide me with The Killing Fields DVD as my Christmas present, but in order to deal with roommates who never washed the dishes, he wrote a note informing his roommates that unless they washed the dishes within the next forty-eight hours, he would start shattering them in front of their doors. And then he attatched the note to the cabinet above the sink with a carving knife! The only thing that could have made that more badass was if he wrote the note in blood! I love you, Mike!
Anyway.
So, the holiday season is almost upon me. Three finals out in one fell swoop on Monday. And then I fly home the next day. Naturally, like any self-respecting movie buff (or wannabe movie buff, in my case, since I don't get around to actually spending money to go to movie theaters) I'm thinking about what movies I want to see. The Return of the King, of course; Mona Lisa Smile (despite my fervent hatred of Julia Roberts), Mystic River, and the like. But I'm not going to filch Jonathan's entry and list off what movies I want to see. It will still be a list of movies, but not ones I want to see; rather, ones I have seen already. You see, Jorge, my beloved, is not the cinema freak that I am. Far from it; in fact. He brags about being an "ignorant, uncultured swine" (his words, not mine!). He is not, in fact, an uncultured swine - he's one of the most well-read people I know, really. Still, I love to make him watch movies that I love that he hasn't already seen. He humors me, watches them with me, finds that he even likes some of them sometimes. So anyway, without further ado, here is the list of:
Movies That I Will Make My Boyfriend See After Tying Him To A Chair And Turning On His DVD Player (oooh, sounds intriguing)
- Silence of the Lambs (Beloved is one of two people on earth who hasn't seen this movie. The other one is living in a cave in Papua New Guinea.)
- The Godfather II (Beloved is just the last person on earth who was seen this movie. Even the guy in the cave in Papua New Guinea beat him to it.)
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Run Lola Run
- This Is Spinal Tap
- The Hudsucker Proxy
- Farewell My Concubine
- Casablanca
- Rashomon
- Requiem For A Dream (I hesitate, though, cause after watching it once, one cannot really stomach watching it again)
- Bamboozled (preachy and got bad reviews, I know, but still, I think he'd appreciate it)
- Once Upon A Time In China
- O Brother, Where Art Thou?
- American Beauty (he never saw the end)
- X-Men 2!!! (which he declined to watch in favor of going to see the friggin' Matrix Reloaded)
- Princess Mononoke
- Spirited Away
- Kiki's Delivery Service
- Everything else by Hayao Miyazaki
Suggestions, comments, you know what goes with my list.
