Again, a hard choice. This time was a little harder than the male one because so many movies are male-driven. I love Sandra Bullock - but for this one I had to go with:
While there are many actors that I like: Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp, Vin Diesel, etc. There is one that I like virtually everything that he does.
Harrison Ford!!
This movie was a bit a change for him. He wasn't the "hero", he wasn't a "nice guy"...he was cranky and grouchy but I loved it.
This was a hard one for me. I'm not a big "movie quoter". I know a line here and a line there from my favs but I'm more likely to quote something off a television show than a movie. But, I can usually recognize quotes from this movie fairly easily. It doesn't hurt that I love this movie!
When we were younger, before videos and dvd's and on-demand viewing, you pretty much had to wait until your favorite movie came on TV to watch it. Thankfully, this movie came on every year and I love it still to this day. It is also probably why I am terrified of even the thought of tornados. :)
Thankfully, there is a good memory tied with this movie. I'd hate to be reminded of a terrible place whenever I watch this movie because it is h.i.l.a.r.i.o.u.s! I just introduced Jordan to this movie a few weeks ago and she absolutely loves it.
Terrance and I honeymooned in Gatlinburg, TN ((17 years ago!!--can you believe it?)). Our little chalet was called Alpendorf and it was wonderful.
It had two bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. We swapped bedrooms about every night and one night ended up on the sleeper sofa watching movies that were left there by the owners. I still remember Terrance waking up during this movie and wondering what the heck I was laughing so hard for.
I can't say positively - but this was probably the scene I was laughing at. It still cracks me up everytime I watch.
My very first date was with a guy from my church in Ft. Smith named A.C. I was only 15 so I wasn't technically allowed to date, so my sister and friend came along with us. Yes, he tried the yawn trick to put his arm around me...and we laughed...but this movie holds a special little place in my heart. The sparks weren't there for me and A.C. - it wasn't meant to be. But, I always think about him when I watch this movie.
I wouldn't say I watch this to "feel down" - but sometimes you just need a good cry and this is my go-to movie for that. I don't cry in the usual place that most people cry...when Julia Robert's character Shelby dies...it's when Sally Field's breaks down at the funeral. When she loses it - I lose it...every.single.time. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I know when I need a movie to make me cry, this is it.
On the flip side...one thing I love about this movie is that it will have you crying one minute and laughing your butt off the next. A good good movie.
