Alphabet Movie Meme
I am suddenly quite busy at work, with little time to come up with a worthwhile narrative for a post. Seeing how I’ve used one of my regular cop-outs just yesterday, I impulsively decided that I needed to pick up a little meme that Jason had tagged me with. I am not going to recount the rules – head over to Jason’s if you want to learn them in detail – nor am I tagging anyone afterwards (although, anyone interested in picking this up, feel free; and by the way, anyone interested in a free link to their website, please let me know and I’ll be happy to tag you next time). I am linking back to the originator of this meme, Blog Cabins, because it seems like proper etiquette.
The exercise itself seemed fun enough to take my mind off work for a few minutes. Here, then, is the list of my favorite movies, one per each letter of the alphabet. Yeah, in a nutshell, that’s all there is to this.
At first, I wanted to follow a theme, but later realized that I cannot call the selections favorites anymore.
- Air Force One
- The Bourne Ultimatum
- Casino Royale
- Die Hard
- Entrapment
- The Fifth Element
- Goldeneye
- Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone
- Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
- The Jackal (struggling a bit)
- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (this one a stretch, but I can’t think of another movie here)
- Live And Let Die
- Mission Impossible
- Never Say Never Again
- Ocean’s Eleven
- Pretty Woman
- Quantum of Solace (I have no doubt that as soon as I watch it, it will become my favorite movie that starts with Q)
- Raiders Of The Lost Ark
- Some Like It Hot
- Tomorrow Never Dies
- Under The Tuscan Sun
- A View To A Kill (when nothing comes to mind, a James Bond flick is always a choice)
- When Harry Met Sally
- xXx (a pretty stupid movie, but I did not like any of the X-Men ones)
- You Only Live Twice (same as V)
- Zorro
I listed a couple similar ones. I didn’t want to use X-men, since Jason used it already. XXX is the only one that came to mind.
A nice touch of putting a lot of Bonds in there.
I actually loaded the list with Bond movies for every possible letter, but then realized that there is no way I like The Man With The Golden Gun to be mentioned ahead of Mission Impossible or My Cousin Vinny. I have similar issues with C, G, L and T, but I wanted to keep the theme alive
Right, mine is going up Friday. Thanks. Thanks a whole lot.
(And yes, I know you didn’t actually tag me–but how could I resist this one?)
There are only a couple of people I know who I am sure could never resist anything related to movies – you’re one of them, Eric
After Nathan got tagged, I went ahead and shifted things so mine will go up around midnight Thursday (EST).
