Film Survey in The Shallow Focus

1. Last movie you rented? Cassie rented The Great Gatsby a couple of weeks ago. I liked it but I did think the CGI stuff was a little strange.

2. Last movie you saw in theatres? The Wizard of Oz! In 3D. I went by myself of course cause nobody else cared and I'm a nerd. It was fantastic though. Judy is such a spectacle in 3D.

3. Best action movie? Im not sure. The first thing I thought of was The Boondock Saints if that counts.

4. Best comedy movie? I might have to agree with the previous survey taker's answers of Some Like It Hot or Artists and Models. Not only is SLIH considered one of the best comedies of all time, I personally LOVE Jack Lemmon so it's a personal favorite as well. The Odd Couple, The Out of Towners, and Prisoners of 2nd Avenue , Planes Trains and Automobiles, Blazing Saddles...

5. Best drama movie? I think I'll have to take another of the previous person's answers and say Twelve Angry Men. ALSO: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Big Fish, and A Clockwork Orange

6. Best romance movie? THE APARTMENT, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Up (totally a romance to me), Dan in Real Life and Casablanca.

7. Favorite Actor? JACK LEMMON

8. Favorite Actress? All I ever wanted to be was Judy Garland. Obviously I love Lucille Ball too.

9. Worst movie? I've seen so many bad movies in my lifetime, especially when I was in high school and we had nothing better to do then just see whatever movie was playing. I'd have to say one of the worst was Van Helsing.

10. Best movie? Seriously? Argh The Wizard of Oz? The Apartment? Casablanca maybe?

11. Last movie you kissed to? Anything I don't want to play attention to which in turn means that I don't really remember or know what movie it was.

12. Who was the last person you went to a movie with? Ryan. We went to watch The Out of Towners at Chelsea Theatres retro movie night. (With Hedda Lettuce!)

13. Your favorite movie theatre? I guess I like the Chelsea? I would like one that was historic in some way but I cant think of anything off the top of my head.

14. Favorite place to rent movies? I used to like "Video Update", or "Hollywood Video" haha 2 for 1 Tuesdays! Now I just use Redbox like everyone else. I remember the Hollywood Video by where I used to live used to have a giant mural of Steve Martin on the wall. Hm!

15. Do you have Netflix? I use my parents if I want it but I don't use it very often.

16. Favorite movie character? Baby Jane in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Haha..that movie should have been up there with my favorite comedies...

17. Best line in a movie? " Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours" -- Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I consistently have kept that my all time favorite line in any movie ever.

18. Last movie you fell asleep in? I fell asleep to an Ingrid Bergman film the other night and now I can't even remember what it was called! It was at home though. I don't think I've ever fallen asleep in a movie theatre.

19. Last movie you saw while having sex/making out? The only way I'd have sex during a movie is if I were trying to fantasize about a person in it instead of my partner, haha, which is pretty rude so I don't do it.

20. Best kiss scene? Im not sure...Can I just say Lady and the Tramp and call it a day?

21. Best death scene? This is going to sound terrible kinda, but in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas when the two little boys wind up in the gas chamber...its a scene where from as soon as I know it's coming, to several minutes after, I am BAWLING. Well done scene for sure, extremely moving.

22. Best soundtrack? Oh man...I think the Graduate. Unless we are talking about musicals in which case I couldn't choose one.
