Day 27 - A movie with your favorite line
There are more profound lines, more epic lines, more romantic lines, more funny lines, more famous lines. But this one is important to me if no one else. It resonated with me the first time I saw it in the theater, and it resonates with me still. In The Crow, Eric has been allowed to come back from the land of the dead, carried back by a crow, to seek rude justice for the murder of his fiancé with surety and violence against the gang who killed them both. In this scene he is talking to the cop who sat for hours in the hospital with Shelly so that she wouldn't die alone. It is a small, quiet beat between the violence and destruction.
"Nothing is trivial." Those here who know me well have probably heard me use that phrase. The line gave a framework for something that I knew in my heart, but hadn't been able to put into words. A meal, a book, a trip to the library with your kids, a kiss, a word-- all little things, everyday things, trivial things. But they are all important, and should be cherished -- everyday magic. The little things make up the big things, and the big things become life. Nothing is trivial. And it is all important to me. An odd, nontrivial lesson in a Goth masterpiece.
The Crow (1994)
"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.
Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."

I'm a sucker for cheesy lines, and it doesn't get any cheesier than Flash Gordon.

Mae West is forever an icon. There are a few good lines in I'm No Angel, but this one is my favorite:
"When I’m good, I’m very good, but when I’m bad, I’m better."

Not sure if it's my favorite line, but definitely a favorite silly line...?
"That's the fact, Jack!"

I have used "lighten up, Francis," quite often since that hit cable.

Day 28 - Best Movie From a Genre You Don't Usually Like
Not a huge Indie fan, but I LOVED THIS MOVIE!
My family owned a video store and Randall played the part perfectly.

Day 28: The Fearless Vampire Killers
I hate horror flicks. I like Polanski even less. But if I am going to watch something like a horror picture, I'd rather it have humor. I saw this in the 80's and it made me laugh. Until it didn't. Plus it has the beautiful Sharon Tate (RIP)

I'm don't like bromantic comedies anymore than romantic comedies and I don't generally watch cop movies. Is Hot Fuzz still one of my favorite movies? Yarp. Does that make sense? Narp? But that's okay.

I’m not a fan of musicals, but Nightmare before Christmas is pure magic.

Experimental genre -- I don't dislike this genre, but it's the hardest to pull off. It's very easy to disguise failure inside this genre and extremely difficult to create something lasting and truly beautiful. So, when it works, it's the very essence of what film can be.

I like most generes, so this isn't that easy a choice. However, I am not a huge fan of slasher films. Carpenter made the definitive statement, and National Lampoon made fun of it decades before it was popular to get post-modern with it. On the whole, it isn't something I enjoy.
But I did like April Fools Day, sort of a slasher film meets Dame Christie's And Then There Were None, with a wicked, twisted sense of humor and some nice twists. It is the story of...forget it. College kids on a remote island die. Who dunnit? It isn't an original concept, but it is well pulled off. And it has Deborah Foreman, who has the best smile in the 80s and didn't do enough films.
It is a slasher film for people who don't like slasher films.
April Fool's Day (1986)
