30 Day Film Challenge: Day 20 – A Film That Changed Your Life

I don’t really know how to explain the impact this movie (and album) had on my life…

Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 19 – A Film Made by Your Favorite Director

I’m not sure Tim Burton is my favorite director anymore, but he held the top slot for a loooooong time.

Beetlejuice (1988)

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 18 – A Film That Stars Your Favorite Actor/Actress

I’m gonna do my favorite actor(s)/actress from the classics, then my more current faves.

First would be The Philadelphia Story (1940). I said in an earlier post that you can’t go wrong with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Well, add in Jimmy Stewart, and you basically have perfection.

More recent actors that I enjoy include Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall, and they are a near flawless pairing in The Judge (2014).

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 17 – Favorite Film Sequel

Since I’ve already mentioned my love of all things Guardians of the Galaxy, I’ll choose something else for today.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 16 – A Film That is Personal to You

I thought this might be difficult, but it really wasn’t. Harvey (1950) is a movie that is very personal to me. Not so much because I relate to any of the characters or the plot; it’s more about the memories I connect to this film.

When I was little, I would always wake my brother up at some ridiculous hour like 3 or 4 a.m. on Christmas morning. My parents had set a rule, though: we couldn’t wake them until 7. So he and I had to do something to kill the time, and it soon became tradition to watch Harvey every year. In fact, my parents and I didn’t watch it this past Christmas because we’re waiting until my brother visits in February. We’ll all watch it then ❤️

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 15 – A Film That Makes You Feel Happy

Let’s be honest: you can never go wrong with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn.

Bringing Up Baby (1938)

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 14 – A Film That Gave You Depression

Okay, when I watched Odd Thomas (2014), I already knew it would rip my heart to shreds because I’d read the book. I have cried during books before, shedding a few tears over fictional deaths or whatever, but I literally sobbed at the end of that one, and that unhappiness lasted days. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that the film had a similar effect on me.

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 13 – A Film That Put You in Deep Thoughts

Donnie Darko (2001)

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 12 – A Film You Hate From Your Favorite Genre

My favorite genre is horror, of course, but even I can acknowledge there are some awful horror movies out there. I’m not very big on paranormal horror; ghosts and spirits just doesn’t freak me out at all. And the worst of the worst?

Paranormal Activity (2007)

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 11 – Your Favorite Film From Your Least Favorite Genre

This one was kind of difficult, but I think my least favorite genre has to be Westerns. However, I do have a soft spot for Clint Eastwood (he’s sexy, sue me). Sooo…

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966)
