ReplyDeleteamelie is totally at the top of my list too! just watched Rushmore for the first time last night and loved it, of course. not sure what took me so long.
ReplyDeletesistahs. xoxox
ReplyDeleteamelie has been on my list of movies to watch. i really really need to watch it now.
ReplyDeletei'm totally bookmarking this list, cause there's a bunch i haven't seen yet. and clearly need to.
ReplyDeleteAh, me too! Especially Amelie, In America, School of Rock, Rushmore & Roman Holiday.
ReplyDeleteslaves of new york, basquiat, school of rock, in america, amelie, crooklyn, muriel's wedding, fame…
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! We have such similar taste in movies! I used to have ‘slaves of new york’ on video and I’d watch it over and over again… I watched ‘fame’ the TV show religiously and even went so far as to write fan mail! Somewhere in storage is a b/w photo of the piano player guy wearing that keyboard scarf!
I just watched Amelie the other day for the first time...eeek I know, years late:) But I found it to be so beautiful, I keep thinking about it.

I'm in love with your entries (but I may be a little biased since I love, love making lists too). I usually jot them down in my notebooks, sketchbooks, etc so I never thought about putting them on my blog. Ah the possibilities! :) I can't wait to see more of your projects. I also really like some of your lists and it makes me think a lot about things I had forgotten about myself. Would you mind if I use some of your list topics? -- I'm very interested in giving this a try for myself. I'll definitely mention your blog. I also love your photos, can't wait to see more <3
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend!

amelie & rushmore. oh, yes.
ReplyDeleteAh! I just watched Roman Holiday a few weeks ago! Picked it up at Target for $5 and loved it so much! Can you believe the beginning says..."and Introducing Audrey Hepburn"? Wow! I think if I rode a scooter through Rome, it would look a lot like when she did it! LOL!
ReplyDeletejust discovering your blog and I LOVE IT! doing a list inspired by you today. have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHalf of these films are my favorites too. As for the other half? I am beyond excited to have some new favorites! Thanks Andrea!

ReplyDelete"you're terrible muriel..." what a great aussie classic and one of my most memorable movie quotes!!
ReplyDeleteAh, such a good list!
ReplyDeleteI would probably add Monsoon Wedding. I'm in love with that story and the visuals.
Now I just want to watch movies all day...
First of all, I love this list. Some I've seen and positively love and many I added to our netflix queue, so thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSecond, have you seen this graffiti proposal?: http://vimeo.com/13259028
I know I'm just a reader, but I thought of you and how much you love street art. Just thought I should share in case you hadn't seen it yet.
I am in full agreement with so many of these films! particularly Amelie and man on wire...
ReplyDeleteI would have to add the royal tennebaums too..and harold and maude!
I've only seen 4 on this list...I must watch a few of these
