So, this is my second post about guilty pleasures. I’ve talked about television already, so let’s look at the movies.
Of course, I’ve seen all the James Bond movies too many times to count and am eagerly looking forward to the next one in November (eight months and counting down!). Hopefully, it will rock as much as Casino Royale did. Fingers crossed!Â
But there are also lots of other movies I’ll watch any time they’re on, no matter how many times I’ve seen them already — or how well I can quote the dialogue. One of my favorites that FX has been running incessantly is The Italian Job with Mark Wahlberg and Jason Stratham. I love heist movies, and this is one of my favorites, along with The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.
I’m also fond of action movies, like Die Hard, The Fugitive, and The Negotiator, and I’ll watch anything Clint Eastwood is in. I’ve seen The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and the rest of that movie trilogy way more than is healthy.
I also love the Star Wars movies. The original trilogy – not the new ones, which frankly, suck out loud. I’m probably far too excited that there’s another Indiana Jones movie coming out, and I wish the Pirates of the Caribbean folks had stopped after the first, perfect movie.
And, of course, no movie list of mine would be complete without the one film I probably quote the most — The Princess Bride. Inconceivable!
So those are some of my movie obsessions. What are some of yours?
