The Rules
1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.
2. The letter "A" and the word "The" do not count as the beginning of a film's title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don't know of any films with those titles.
3. Return of the Jedi belongs under "R," not "S" as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars trilogy; all that followed start with "S." Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs under "R," not "I" as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Conversely, all films in the LOTR series belong under "L" and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia series belong under "C," as that's what those filmmakers called their films from the start. In other words, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release. Use your better judgement to apply the above rule to any series/films not mentioned.
4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number's word. 12 Monkeys would be filed under "T."
5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that I can eventually type "alphabet meme" into Google and come up #1, then make a post where I declare that I am the King of Google.
6. If you're selected, you have to then select 5 more people.

Already put mine up. Glad to see we overlapped on Duck Soup.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting that Q: The Winged Serpent shows up on a lot of lists.
Great list! Some of those I haven't even heard of. Thanx for playin', Bug!

ReplyDeleteCool list! I was curious to see what you'd come up with. Although, I can't believe you want to see Xanadu. It's got a roller disco, dude!
ReplyDeleteI think Xanadu comes down to a lack of "X" films. I actually had to make a choice between X the Unknown and The X from Outer Space; tough choice—Hammer Horror of kaiju? I settled with Hammer this time.
ReplyDeleteGreat List LB! :-)
ReplyDeleteI will be looking forward to reading quite a few of these reviews!
As for the Tag - no hard feelings if I pass, I hope...?
(just not my thing really)
P.S. I hope that you are feeling better!

I knew this would come up. I acctually like Xanadu. I mean hot chicks on roller skates (especially ONJ when she was still hot) and cheesy music and sets. This is the stuff dreams are made of.
ReplyDeleteAnd no big deal breaker. Thanks for tkaing a look at mine
Okay, I can see where you're coming from. Plus, it's got Gene Kelly still cutting an impressive figure on the dance floor. So, there's that too.
ReplyDeleteOK bug! got the tag!
