Film Meme Blogging

Mira d'Oubliette tagged me with a film meme last week (05/26/2005). I am only now getting around to it. I'll do my best with the questions. 1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video:

Mrs. Brainwise and I jointly own around 54 DVD/videos. This does not count concert videos ... or my Batman films. Adding those in would raise the total closer to 70.

2. The last film I bought:

I think the last film I bought was Spiderman 2 on DVD. Good deal, too, as I recall.

3. The last film I watched:

When I received Mira's email, the last film I had watched was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But after the Memorial Day Weekend, I have now added Spiderman 2 (via DVD) and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith to my viewed list.

4. Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:

In no particular order...

• Photographing Fairies
• The Crow
• The Three Musketeers (1973)
• The Great Race
• 3-Way Tie: Harvey, Arsenic & Old Lace, and Bringing Up Baby

The meme doesn't require or request explanations, but permit me to break from the meme just for a moment. I had such a difficult time picking only five movies (and one might say I failed), but the films that make up my 3-way tie are all deeply entwined because of watching them with my father.

I want to give the following flicks an Honorable Mention...

• People Will Talk
• The Mask of Zorro (1998)
• Cradle Will Rock

5. Tag 5 people and have them put this in their journal/blog:

OK. I choose the following. You've been tagged, folks. Get busy!

• Mrs. Brainwise at Danger Prone Dafne's Delirium
• Paul Pellerito at thoughts to fill an empty room
• emdot at emdot & the super duper amazing meandering streamies
• Lara at the sympathetic vibration
• Thivai Abhor at Dialogic
