30 Day Film Challenge - Day 10

Day 10 - A Film With Your Favorite Actor (Female)

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:

Ashley Judd!

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 9

Day 9 - A Film with Your Favorite Actor (Male)

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.

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 8

Day 8 - The Film You Can Quote The Best

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!

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 7

Day 7 - A Film That Reminds You Of Your Past

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.  :)

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 6

Day 6 - A Film That Reminds You of Somewhere

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.

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 5

Day 5 - A Film That Reminds You Of Someone

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.

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 4

Day 4 - A Film You Watch To Feel Down

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.
