Animated Feature Films

Animated Feature Films = Cartoon Movies.  I'm going to guess that most folks would go right to Disney Films when it comes to animated movies.  Since I already used that as a category, I tried to steer away from those choices.  After I made my selections, I thought it was weird that only ONE of these films was from my childhood.  The other two I saw as an adult.  This made me think of a quote that I used to refer back to when I was really into working in the film business "True family entertainment appeals to the most sophisticated as well as the least sophisticated member of the family"  The creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening, said that.  Probably why The Simpsons is still on the air.  Too bad the movie sucked.

Chick Flicks

First off, I need to apologize for not posting last week.  I was in the hospital for an evening, and then at home in bed for a week in major pain.  Not able to chew solid food, let alone type about movies.  This being a Film blog...I'll spare you the details on my issue.  I am doing better though.  Thanks for asking.  :-)

Chick Flick.  Although it does not have the most positive of connotations, it is still a designation that movies sometimes unofficially get.  I would not consider it a bad thing, just something to be aware of when you are picking out a film to watch.  Besides, if I really didn't like chick flicks, wouldn't I just eliminate that topic from here?

Alfred Hitchcock Films

I was going to save this topic for the very end of my blog (yes...I do have an end planned).  But I couldn't wait any longer.  Alfred Hitchcock.  My favorite director of all time.  Some of the best films ever made.  My Grandfather worked with Hitchcock and was even in the show Alfred Hitchcock Presents.  Very few of his films were scary.  Intense, thriller, mystery, suspense.  He also handpicked some of the best casts of all time.  I could probably do a 50 page dissertation on this, but in keeping with the spirit of this blog, I will refrain.

Movies that Made You Cry

Lets venture away from excitement and go to a movie that really tugged on those heart strings.  If you say "I have never cried at a movie." you are either lying or have no soul.  Old Yeller and Bambi (yes, that wimpy deer) are your standard staple crying movies, but I wanted to go to a couple of movies that get me every time and aren't the usual (and don't involve animals dying).  Don't be shy...I am sure everyone has at least ONE movie that gets them every time.

Beware:  Lots of plot point spoilers in this post.
