Day 19: Mr Belvedere Goes to College

I've always loved the character of Mr. Belvedere in these movies. He could do anything!

Any answer to this question that doesn't include Robin Williams is, at best, incomplete.

I was the understudy for Frank on a stage version of The Rocky Horror Show. Learned to dance in heels (and lingerie).

Day 19: A movie with your favorite character

I’m pretty sure I used this last time but whatever. Spider-Man is my favorite. This is the best Spider-Man.

Also, great Doc Ock too.

Day 19: A movie with your favorite character

Since I didn't see a day for favorite couple, I get to go with The Addams Family Does it get any better than Morticia? No. My answer is always no.

Day 19 -- a movie with your favourite character. (I used Mad Max 2 / Road Warrior a few days ago for something else in this list, so I'll say Mad Max: Fury Road for this one... but the picture is still from Road Warrior. Iconic.)

Day 19: A movie with your favorite character

I like not knowing what the day's prompt is, so I don't read ahead. If I did, I would have saved Evy Carnahan from "Favorite movie from a franchise" as my choice was based on her. Oh well, there are so many other good characters to chooes.

The Prophecy (1995) is an odd piece of religious horror, not a genre often seen. It has Christopher Walken as the Archangel Gabriel, who is a leader in the Second War in Heaven between loyalist angels and angels angry God gave humans salvation. The rebels want to put it back "the way it was before," before us talking monkeys. He is on Earth searching for the hidden soul of a deceased war criminal, which he thinks will win the war for him. It is an weird little film, with odd theology, but the dialog is excellent and, on the whole, is worth watching. I mean, you have Christopher Walken as an Archangel. How do you top that?

Two words: Viggo Mortensen.

No, sorry, four words: Viggo Mortensen as Lucifer.

Lucifer is a big character, one of the biggest, and most actors play him not just big but huge, over the top. Mortensen takes it in a different direction. His Lucifer is quiet, smooth, charming and disgusting in turns. And frightening. Very frightening. It isn't a huge role - he is in the last third of the movie. But he owns it, and taking it back from Walken is impressive.

The Prophecy (1995)

Day 20: A great movie you will never watch again

There isn't even a snowballs chance in hell that I will ever watch Grave of the Fireflies again. An autobiographical tale of two children living through the second World War, it is....harrowing. One of the greatest films ever made, but... No, never again.

I just watched this movie for the first time last week. It was brilliant and beautiful and absolutely gutting.

Day 20: The Prime if Miss Jean Brodie

My first exposure to Maggie Smith. Good movie but haven't seen it a long time and probably will never watch it again.

This was also brilliant, but gutting.

Day 19: A movie with your favorite character

I've been on a Streisand kick since I've started listening to her bio, which she narrates and if you have the book get the audio too... she adds music and little extras to it.

Funny Girl (1968)

Day 20 - Great movie you will never watch again

This book and film are both so good but so brutal

Day 20: A great movie you will never watch again

A beautiful movie directed by a fashion designer (makes sense) but I doubt I'll ever watch A Single Man again. It features several of my favorite actors but too depressing for me.

Putting this on my watchlist immediately.

The Prophecy (1995)

One of the best portrayals of Lucifer ever.

Putting this on my watchlist immediately.

I second this recommendation. You can skip all the sequels though.
