I've Been called!

Ok. For JONES! Cos he wanted to know and he be my bitch!

1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video: 90 dvds/45 vhs

2. The last film I bought: Family Guy season 2. But thats not a FILM, it's a tv series. So Count Basie: Swingin' The Blues. But THATS a doco, so Beastie Boys: The Criterion Collection.But again, thats NOT a film. But I seriously can't remember what the last "Film" I bought was.

3.The last film I watched: 24 Hour Party People. Watched it with a classy lady who was also THERE back in the day! (actually she WAS there, over in Europe. I came in a few years after.) We polished off a bottle of gin while watching!

4.Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (just five?):

I. Conan The Barbarian: I could and probally should go on about why this movie is the BEST! The Oliver Stone script? The CLASSIC James Earl Jones performance? the gut shaking soundtrack? The Wenching? The sword fighting? The deep philosophical commentry? The Riddle of Steel?
But I am Cimmerian and I do not have the words. So READ writes for me!

II. Ferris Bueller's Day Off: I've written elsewhere here about this movie. Perfectly made, very funny John Hughes movie. They just DON'T make teen movies like this anymore! Wayne Newton song and dance number at the end. This film reminds me that sometimes you HAVE to play hookie and just get as much FUN out of a day as you can! ANd that friendships are important, but, like life, they move on. Sometimes so fast that you NEED to stop and look around!

III. Big Trouble in Little China: Another faultless film from the 80's. Probally the first and best Chinese-American culture crossover. Contians EVERY Chinese-American bit actor!Kurt Russel OWNS his role as Yanky tough guy Jack Burton, who despite his never-ending tough guy outlook finds himself in a world he just can't understand!! John Carpenter MASTERPIECE! (also my youngest brother would watch this film EVERY MORNING without fail at 7am for 2 months solid when he was but 4 years old!)

IV. Out Of Sight: based on my favourite Elmore Leonard book and a great filmic adaption my style master Steven Soderbergh! Stars George Clooney (who i have a man-crush on) and Jennifer Lopez (who actually ACTS! No, really!). Great soundtrack. just awesomely acted and directed. Sly, sexy, stylish and funny! Perfect Elmore Leonard on celuloid!

V. High Fidelity: Not my most favourite film, but i find myself constantly going back to watch it. It's about music and chicks and music geeks and making mixed tapes etc. And I can watch Jack Black non-stop. And John Cusack's character IS the C-Man!

5. Which five people am I passing the baton onto? And why?
Don't know if I can come up with 5 people. BUT:
1. Dogpossum! Cos she's full of feist and opinons and great taste!
2. Bob. But he don't blog or lj. So Boz, feel free to use my comments section.
3. Duncs. Likewise. Use my comments. But he don't check interweb till next week.
