Tuesday Tell All - Movie Madness

YES! I did not skip the TTA this week! I have listed way too many movies here, and they are in no particular order. I really like movies and these are several that I could watch over and over again. Sorry about all the big spaces in between. I still have not mastered the layout in blogger!

I love the original of this movie, but after seeing this version I don't think I could ever go back. Johnny Depp is genius, and the writing is so witty. The colors and art direction are very eye pleasing, and I love how over the top all the characters are.








Who doesn't love Chris Farley? Okay, he can get old, but this show is a perfect balance in my opinion. There are SO many good one liners that I use often. If you haven't see it and need a good laugh, this is a winner! Maybe I should watch it because I'm still in the land of needing a good laugh.













I would need way too much time to tell all the reasons I love this show. It might possibly be my favorite. Hard to say that because it is in a category all it's own. The writing/humor is unmatched and I absolutely LOVE every character. The music rocks and I listen the the soundtrack often.













Okay, so the BBC/A&E version is the best, but who can watch 6 hours of this very often? I think this is a fabulous version and again the music is to die for. I've been watching/listening to this too much lately and has not helped me get out of my funk!












I must admit that I get a little perturbed when I hear of someone who has never seen this show. I know it annoys native Austrians, but it is an absolute classic and I could watch it over and over again. I'm so glad my kids prefer musicals because they are my favorites.













I am not ashamed to admit that I LOVE this movie. I love the colors, music (of course) and the tragedy. Okay I don't love that the tragedy happened, I just love how it makes me think.















This is one that I'm not sure many people of my generation are familiar with, but is SO WORTH THE RENTAL!!! My mom is a big fan of old/classic movies and I grew up watching this over and over. I SO WISH I lived in that era. I love the fashion and music, etc. Another Julie Andrews classic.












I just realized that I uploaded a movie poster in a different language! If your not sure what movie this is it's Back to the Future! Yes, it's a big Hollywood blockbuster, but who doesn't know almost EVERY line from this one. It was groundbreaking at the time and I still love it.












I know this doesn't seem like a typical movie "favorite", but it is one I never get sick of seeing. The power of this movie is so moving, and again the music is superb. If all men of the world today had an ounce of the courage and conviction of William Wallace, the world would be light years ahead. I'm not a fan of gratuitous violence in movies, but I will defend the necessity of the violence in this one. I don't necessarily like to watch violence, but just as disturbing things in some books are key, so I feel is this.









This is the single best sports movie ever. Enough said.

















Besides the obvious eye candy, this movie is so COOL I could die. The mood it sets with the music, characters, and subtlety is great. I watch this one often. In my humble opinion 12 and 13 aren't as good, but I like them too.

There are so many others I could mention, but my basic requirements are smart/witty writing, believable and/or flawed characters, and a great soundtrack. I look forward to see what everyone else's favorites are. Happy Tuesday!
