It's a meme-ish day, it seems

[ratherastory]

I stole this from elsewhere_kels, same way I stole the previous meme.

On LiveJournal, we often think we're close, but really, we know less about each other than we like to think. So I want you to ask me something you would like to know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world.

What is your favorite movie? I generally like asking people this question, I don't quite know why.

Oh, Lord. I don't have a favourite. There are so many movies I've loved over the years, which have made me laugh and cry and cringe and hide behind my hands in horror.

If I had to pick only one movie to watch for the rest of my life or something, I think it would be "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." It's a toss-up between that one and "Once Upon a Time in the West." They're both Sergio Leone films, both brilliantly scripted and solidly acted, directed with flair and panache. I love spaghetti westerns. :)

I haven't seen either, I'll have to watch them :D Never seen a real spaghetti western.

Start with Once Upon a Time in the West. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the third of a trilogy, and the first two in the trilogy aren't as good.

You also have to give it a bit of leeway in terms of pacing, because of the time period in which it was made. I love it, but it might be slow for modern sensibilities. :)
