liz and cookie talked about movies recently. i don’t watch a lot of movies on TV (until recently*) however, there are some movies that if i channel surf and hit one i must watch.

1. anything by Mel Brooks

2. Clash of the MUTHA F*CKIN’ TITANS, BABY!!! which of course, is not the actual title, but it’s what i exclaim when i see it’s on TV. it was on at midnight last night! SWEET!

3. i used to ALWAYS watch The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen and all those other dudes. but lately AMC has been beating that movie with a dead horse.

4. Force 10 From Navarone. no, not Guns of Navarone. Force 10 has a young Harrison Ford, Lurch, and uh…Apollo Creed. wait, i think it’s Apollo Creed.

5. any kind of Naked Gun, Airplane!, or Hot Shots

6. there is no number six but if there was, it would probably be something like Swiss Family Robinson or Heidi.

7. Terminator 2! Terminator 2! you have to scream the title of that, and you have to scream it twice. (justin, remember that screamy preacher dude they used to make fun of on the old Daily Show when the blonde dude hosted? HA!)

8. Two Mules for Sister Sara. shut your hole. i LOVE this movie. i think it’s the only Clint Eastwood movie i like.

9. Willy Wonka

10. To Kill a Mockingbird

11. Predator

12. Red Sonja right, like i’m the only one? that movie? is so bad. and the oriental brat? KILL HIM. i love hating this movie. that’s why i have to watch it.

13. Cool Hand Luke

*14. apparently i’ll watch Valley of the Dolls every time it’s on. i didn’t know this, until this morning, when i found myself watching it for the third time this month (thank you AMC, for showing the same 5 movies in the morining, you ass.) as well as quoting it. i know.
“you know how bitchy fags can be.”
“boobies, boobies, boobies, nothing but boobies. who needs ’em. i got along without ’em.”
“MEL?!… GOD?!… NEELY? ….NEEEEEEEEEELYYYYY O’HARAAAAAAAAA!”

i talked to laura this morning and told her i had watched VotD again.
“why?” she asks.
“i don’t know.” i say.
i called her back later to tell her i had figured out why i’ve been unable to not watch it.
“it’s Patty Duke.”
“really?”
“yes, the Patty Duke Factor. i think that no matter what movie it is, if Patty Duke is in it, i’ll watch.”
“really?”
“yes, even both the Helen Keller movies.”

and it’s not that i think she’s a fabulous actress or anything. i think it’s just the novelty of Patty Duke. she was her own cousin.

other “factors” i have: the Julie Andrews Factor, the Hayley Mills Factor (more accurately, the Old Disney Movie Factor), the Esther Williams Factor**, and the Paul Newman Factor.

** i love seeing her come up out of the water with perfect hair and make-up. those movies were so corny it’s unreal.

other morning movies that i’ve watched 3 times this month (‘cos i can’t seem to change the channel): The Snake Pit with Olivia de Havilland (this movie stinks) and Suddenly, Last Summer (and yes, everytime they flash the title on the screen i sing the Motels’ song) with Liz Taylor and Katherine Hepburn. i like this one. it’s kinda neat. weird, weird ending.

this extra long, extra “who cares” post was brought to you by AMC‘s Morning Movie
