a decade-old holdover from my father, who had no idea what to do with us post-divorce and cheerfully decided: "CINEMA. BOWLING. ALSO, CINEMA."
Sounds like a reasonable plan to me - I'd like to go more than I do at the moment but I'm usually too lazy to get round to it. Which is a a bit pathetic really.
Yeah, it is Silence of the Lambs. One of those films that for me, like several others on this list, is as close to perfection in casting, writing, acting and directing as anything could get.
Do you find sometimes that you see something twice and words from it will just... will not go away?
Yes! Though annoyingly, I get lines stuck in my head, complete with intonation, but no clue where they are from or even what gender the speaker was and it drives me nuts trying to figure out the source. (Especially since sometimes they are from books and the voice has only ever been in my head.)
"...ere the sun rises." Theoden got all the really good speeches, didn't he? Aragorn's is pretty darn good too, I agree, but Theoden's do make me physically shiver. The one at Helm's Deep about "Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain..." Just magnificent.
And yes, you do have to do this meme so I can have a go! Though I can't promise I'll be as good as you :-)
