Last month, one of my favorite movie blogs, "Rupert Pupkin Speaks", created his list of the best movies A-Z. I thought this sounded like a lot of fun and a challenge, but I had no idea how difficult it would be. How do I choose just one movie per letter? I can barely come up with a response to the question, "What's your favorite movie?" (I used to say "Paper Moon" just to be a bit of s snob, but truth be told it's probably "Vivre sa Vie" or "Heavy". See! I can't even pick one in my own blog and I still sound like a snob!). To make it easier, I picked the first movie that came to mind or grabbed my attention. It's interesting how many of them are somewhat personal to me; either in content or by association with a particular memory or person.
So, here goes:
A- All That Jazz
B- Bell, Book, and Candle
C- Cafe au Lait
D- Dr Zhivago
E- Edward Scissorhands
F- Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
G- Ginger Snaps
H- Heavy
I- Immortal Beloved
J- Jason and the Argonauts
K- Killer Klowns from Outer Space
L- Last Days of Disco
M- Mallrats
N- Night Watch
O- Orlando
P- Pulp Fiction
Q- Quartermass and the Pit
R- The Red Violin
S- The Salton Sea
T- Tank Girl
U- Uncertainty
V- Vivre sa Vie
W- What About Bob?
X- X: The Unheard Music
Y- Yojimbo
Z- Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession
