  • Favorite Martin Scorsese Movie
    Hugo (2011)

    Where are all of his other movies? (4/24/2023)

  • Favorite Quentin Tarantino movie?
    Pulp Fiction (1994)

    QT at his best! (4/15/2023)

  • Which horror movie makes you want to sleep with a light on?
    Halloween (1978)

    Well, let me tell you...EVERY horror movie wants me to sleep with the light on. I'm a total wuss that way. I expect that every single one of these would do the trick. But I've at least seen Halloween. Or, parts of it. I'm such a wuss. (4/5/2023)

  • What time travel film used the concept of time travel the best?
    Arrival (II) (2016)

    Arrival was one of my absolutely favorite movies the last ten years (and, in fact, I kind of owe it a debt of gratitude, because I wanted to read the source material and it got me hoked on sci fi short stories). But I think the best time travel movie EVER is Looper. (3/31/2023)

  • Which film is sure to make you laugh?
    Superbad (2007)

    Superbad is super good! (3/31/2023)

  • Favorite Wes Anderson movie
    Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

    LOL you DID beat me to it! What's funny is that we have the exact same list, I think...all of his movies except Bottle Rocket. (3/30/2023)

  • Best musicals
    Hairspray (2007)

    Hairspray was the first "grown-up" film that I took my daughter to, when she was seven. She loved it, though I'm sure she didn't get all the racial tension stuff, lol. (3/30/2023)

  • What is your favorite Wes Anderson movie?
    Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

    I love so many of his movies, I think my vote really would be, "Whichever one I saw last". But Moonrise Kingdom was the first time I had such a positive reaction to one of his films. He's got a reputation that his films are too precious, but hey, I like that once in a while. No one else does them like him, so I don't feel overwhelmed by them. But I will sit down with almost all the films on this list at the drop of a hat. (3/30/2023)

  • Favorite 80’s Movie Soundtrack
    Purple Rain (1984)

    I would not be a Minnesotan if I didn't choose Purple Rain! Though, actually, my favorite song from the soundtrack is by Morris Day and the Time. *runs for cover* (3/30/2023)

  • 80’s Movie
    Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

    Pretty tough call, as I have actually seen all of these! And even though I didn't pick it in the Spielberg poll, I've got to go with Raiders. Especially around Passover. (3/30/2023)

  • Children’s Favorites 🤗
    Toy Story (1995)

    With my child it was Monsters, Inc. lol! (3/29/2023)

  • Best Movies with a Chris
    Adaptation. (2002)

    Thor, Ragnarok is probably my favorite Marvel movie, and I've really enjoyed Chris Hemsworth's comedy chops...but I thought Adaptation was really good. Two Nicolas Cages for the price of one! (3/29/2023)

  • What Stephen King novel-based movie has haunted your nights the most?
    It (2017)

    Really, it was The Shining. Because I never saw another Stephen King again, no sir, no thank you. But I did see the first installment of It (not the 2017 version, the earlier one with Tim Curry)...and again, no thank you! So it gets my honorary vote, lol. (3/29/2023)

  • Best Book to Movie Adaptation
    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy something like a dozen times over the course of my youth. When the movies were announced I was excited, then worried, then excited again. And then the Fellowship of the Ring movie hit screens, and I was no longer worried, just excited. This trilogy remains among the very best movie experiences of my life. (3/29/2023)

  • What’s your favorite Avengers movie?
    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    That year we had three iconic franchises come to an “end”: Avengers, Star Wars, and Game of Thrones. This one was the only one to stick the landing. (3/29/2023)

  • Best Seafood Movie
    The Lobster (2015)

    Everyone I recommended this movie to…didn’t like it, lol. But I loved it! I like this much more than I liked The Favourite. And coincidentally it was my first exposure to Olivia Colman. (3/29/2023)

  • Spielberg Poll
    Jaws (1975)

    He’s done many films and many good ones, but I will always come back to Jaws as one of the classics of the movies I gee up with. Even though I am seriously scared of the water ever since I was a child because of it. (3/29/2023)

  • What was the best action film of 2022?
    RRR (2022)

    Oh, and it's not even close. (3/28/2023)

  • Which is your favorite version of King Kong?
    King Kong (2005)

    I used to think there was no modern version that could surpass the original...but you know, I really liked Peter Jackson's version. (3/28/2023)
