1. First movie you ever saw
I can’t remember. I remember going to see Born Free at the cinema. Nothing before that. I remember watching
2. #1 favorite movie
That’s like asking me to choose my favourite child. I can’t. Films I have really enjoyed include Silence of the Lambs, Midnight Express, Glory, The Party.
3. Movie you hated the most
Recently, Les Mis. I don’t like popcorn movies generally. One that stands out is The Fast and Furious. I went with my husband and daughter and within about two minutes was wishing I had brought a book with me so I could sneak out and read.
4. Best movie you saw with an S/O
We go to the cinema and watch films at home all the time. I think my partner was very sweet to go and see Titus Andronicus with me. He later admitted it wasn’t his cup of tea at all but he wanted to impress me. The film was… okay and I was impressed.
5. Unusual experience at movie
The time the rather large lady needed to sit in seats passed ours in the row. We stepped out of the row and she managed to flip the cup of hot coffee that was in the cup holder onto her seat and then dropped down on it. Ouch… not good. She was okay apparently.
Oh! Can I add the weirdness of going to see The Exorcist when it was released and seeing priests and the like outside the cinema. That was strange. The film freaked me out but watching it now I can’t believe how scared I was then.
6. Favorite piece of movie trivia
I have visited quite a few of the Lord of the Rings sites. Helms Deep is a quarry near Wellington. The nook under the road where the hobbits hide. The forest they run through to escape after hiding in the hollow. The river Sam and Frodo row across at the end of the first? film amongst others.
