My partner brought up the idea of listing thirteen movies that always brighten my mood. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it turned out to be.
1. Young Frankenstein - endlessly quotable and forever a favorite
2. Top Secret! - a spoof that barely edged out the classic, darker flick, Kelly's Heroes
3. Clerks II - not really better than the original but I made myself choose one of the two
4. Best in show - Catherine O'Hara is just one brilliant comedic star in this
5. Sean of the Dead - genius
6. Joe's Apartment - roaches are actually cute in this outrageous romp
7. Real Genius - another Val Kilmer project, in it he stole every scene
8. Heathers - dark, dramatic, deliciously funny; a must see
9. Beetlejuice - makes me want a haunted house
10. Willow - while very different, this edged out Napoleon Dynamite on my list
11. Dark City - the surprise ending still blows me away
12. Cousins - the love story never fails to put a smile on my face
13. Dodgeball - this was the best part of the vacation during which I first saw it!
Grin. I like your movies choices. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteI like numbers 1, 7, 9 and 10--have all four of them on video. I absolutely HATED number 8.

I love Sean of the Dead. I've seen it half a dozen times where I rarely watch a movie more than once.
ReplyDeleteYou've picked a couple of my faves! Top Secret! and Willow. Hm, I feel a Val Kilmer glom coming on.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Young Frankenstein
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh sweet mystery of love at last I've found you......
Nice list! I really like #1, 9, 10 and 11.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to watch Willow. I've heard it mentioned here and there more than a few times.
ReplyDeleteGreat feel good post. Just what I needed. Happy T13!
Four of those are among my favorites. I haven't seen the others, but I'll be checking out most of them. Great idea for a list!
