The Movie List

Wed., June 23, 11:05 AM

This is a little strange for me, as I am not your typical film buff. Even if the film looks interesting, I’m usually happy to wait till it’s available on television. Preferably free.

Still, purplechai created this one, and she’s generally pretty interesting, so I thought I would try. (Notice that she lists titles like a librarian – I thought no one was doing that any more – not even librarians!) Here are the directions:

bold films you've seen
italicize films you've seen part of, or walked out on
underline films you own in some video format (realizing that not everyone chooses to own movies when you can rent them, of course)
add three films of your own
and, if you don't mind, email purplechai@diaryland.com so she can see what you've added! Thanks. (I don’t mind if you tell her you found it through me.)
