DAMN YOU MATTY O'BLACKFIVE!
Bastard tagged me with...
The Movie meme:
1) The number of DVD's I own:
Around 20. Usually more for catching up on old TV series than movies (we just rent those)
2) The last DVD I bought:
Come to think of it, I've never bought a DVD. TNT always does the movie shopping. I'm too cheap to plunk down the money for it. If I want a movie, I either rent it or get a bootleg from Blogless Brother Tom.
3) The last DVD I watched:
Racing Stripes. Corny, feel-good Disney fare. Great if you like poop-jokes.
4) Five movies that I watch a lot (in no particular order) that mean a lot to me:
I rarely re-watch movies, but here are some that I've seen more than once:
Princess Bride (most quotable movie ever made)
Silence of the Lambs
Aliens
Robocop
Star Wars (Ep IV)
5) Tag 5 other people with this Meme...
Roger of Class Mishaps, Chuck of Class Mishaps (since both are film students, this should be interesting - I just hope neither chooses Un Chien Andalou), Susie of Practical Penumbra (she works at a theater - I'm curious to see if this affects her choices), NeonAngel of Lyrical Coma (that boy needs something to post about) and Baba of The Baba Gannouj (ditto)
ยป Practical Penumbra links with: ...and your giant invisible Pooka, too!
Excerpt: The Movie meme: 1) The number of DVD's I own: I just counted them, and I have 188, but that doesn't include the ones out on loan to various family members and friends. Call it 200, on the low side. I didn't count my VHS tapes, because there are at...

Hey, you accidentally put an "s" at the end of "Alien."
Just thought I'd point it out to you.
Heh! Matty got you! And you were afraid of those of us in the BE family... Sheesh!
Chuck = there are 4 Alien movies. The first and second is Alien and Aliens,so Harvey is not wrong. I own about 20 DVD'S or more and over 600 VHS movies. I had more but my kids sometimes borrow them and never bring them back. I'm a movie freak, I guess.

The Princess Bride is a great quote source!
My favorite ...
Inigo Montoya: Who are you?
Westley: No one of consequence.
Inigo Montoya: I must know.
Westley: Get used to disappointment.
firstbrokenangel,
There are five Alien movies, not four.
I was just trying to start a heated argument over which Alien movie was better.
My vote, obviously, goes for Alien.
Though the ladder scene in Alien Resurection is the best scene in the series.
Heh. By chance I've also just tagged you with something very much like this, except it's books. These things come in waves, I guess.
Chuck - are you counting Alien vs. Predator?
Linus - saw it. It's on the to-do list :-)
I came over via Prochein Amy. I did this meme today, too. Princess Bride is a good one.
Have I told you lately that I hate you with a passion? ;P Well, at least it's movies....
Susie - as long as there's passion involved :-)
ALIENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS is on right now if you're a midnight owl like me. One o'clock on TNT. I forgot about number 5 where she's really a clone. - that was stupid. and didn't count Alien vs Predator and wouldn't watch that one either. Sort of like Jason vs Freddy. Alien with an S ie ALIENS butI'm going to watch FREQUENCY although I already own it.

My favorite conversation from the princess bride is ..
"I'm calling the brute squad"
"I'm on de brute squad"
"You ARE the brute squad."
Alien vs. Predator was a fun movie. I'm just sayin'...
As far as I know, the movies that revolve around Giger's Aliens are:
Alien
Aliens
Alien3
Alien Resurrection
Alien vs. Predator
I thought AVP was alright, but just because it couldn't dream of living up to the first two movies doesn't mean it shouldn't be counted on the list of them, I say.
