I actually go to movies all alone so that my friends don't disturb my movie experience. People must think how sad my life is when I'm sitting all alone there  but I do love going out with people when I don't particularly care about the movie 

And also I must try this haroon movie theatre experience too

Two of my favorite movie scenes (which both make me cry) are in I am Legend and Dancer in the Dark. I always cry when Will has to kill his dog and when Selma gets executed.

One of my favs!

Man there are so many scenes:

1. Fellini, 8 1/2: Guido dreaming he was floating in sky and tethered to a beach. 

2. Coppola, Dracula: Lucy as an undead in a wedding dress

3. Woody Allen, Annie Hall: The awkward scene between Alvy and Annie at her home.

4. Dogville: Grace watching Dogville burn to the ground

5. Interstellar: When Murph discovers who the ghost is.

Bjork did a movie  

[Starbucks 4,204]

Favorite movie (so far): Hachiko, Stay Alive, and a national scale movie from Indonesia called Ada Apa Dengan Cinta 2

The scene where I cried like an infant for more than 5 minutes: when Hachiko's owner dead and Hachi wait on the station so long til his death

Favorite Actress: Gaga 

[msisux 2,261]

Fave movie genre hands down: Musicals.   I could go on and on about them forever, but instead, I'll just shut up and keep bopping to soundtracks

Fave actor: Danny DeVito

Fave actress: Susan Sarandon

Favorite movie franchise: High School Musical

Favorite movie: The Rocky Horror Picture Show  

Fave sequel: Shock Treatment (The underrated and unloved sequel to Rocky Horror)

It's also really fun to watch the camera work and point out the long shots and how many cuts there are in a certain scene. It's upsetting when there are times in a film shot "in the past," so all the costumes, sets, and props are considered period pieces. Somehow, the studio allows people in the scene with very modern hairstyles, throwing off the look. (Fantastic Beasts, I'm looking at you )

My fave movie is and will always be All About Eve. I remember watching All About Eve and i was left in awe of what i just witnessed. The acting (Margo Channing!!) was superb and all, but the screenplay was truly MAJESTIC. Coming from a drama about rivalry in theater industry, i never expected it to hit me that hard.

Another one is Tokyo Story, beautifully filmed and emotionally stirring without even trying. Also Citizen Kane and Memories of Murder. Tbh Memories of Murder is the perfect example of how to make an expertly made murder mystery story. It's my most favorite korean movie, i even like it better than Oldboy. 

[Ooolong 4,440]

Fav movie franchise I'm most excited about: Scream

Director whose movies I almost always love: Wes Craven's

The best performance of all time: Probably something with Meryl Streep.

The scene where I cried like an infant: Can't remember any? There have been lots, though.

Movie that I liked but now think they could have been much much better: Uh, Night of the Demons, I guess, but the franchise and not simply the original. The original and its sequel are great, but the third one, which I liked when I was younger, and the remake of the original are pretty dreadful. 

Movie from a genre that you dislike: I absolutely hate western movies, and I don't know the titles of any, lmao.

Guilty Pleasures: I guess musicals, except I'm not 'guilty' or ashamed of liking them, but probably one of the last genres I'd mention to people, lmao.

Favorite Recent Movie: Moonlight but I'm getting ready to watch Hidden Figures so maybe that'll change. 

Favorite Movie (All Time): Scream
