Favourite Films

[Sandra Craft]

Anything made by Mel Brooks.

"We're men -- manly men! -- we're men in tights.  Yeath!"  I don't generally go for slapstick humor that much, but I loved Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  I must have seen Cary Elwes in half a dozen things before but had no idea he could be so funny.  Mel Brooks got me with that one.  He was also the producer of my beloved 84 Charing Cross Road, which really surprised me since at the time I didn't know he was married to Anne Bancroft.

I'm also happy to see other Serenity fans.  I'm so tired of mentioning Serenity or Firefly and being met with blank looks.

I didn't watch Firefly but one day they had the whole series on DVD for about £12, so I bought it and watched the whole series back-to-back and really loved it. Great shame it never got another series. Serenity tied up the lose ends well.

Wonderful! Now, what are your favourite films?

The Departed. What else?

Wasn't FOX also the one that cancelled Futurama?  Bringing Firefly back now would be bittersweet for me, since Serenity killed off 2 of my 3 favorite characters.

- Hot Fuzz
- Shaun of the Dead (probably my favourite zombie flick, LOL)

Love Simon Pegg.  Thought he was a wonderful choice for Scotty in the revamped Star Trek.

I still haven't forgiven Joss Whedon for killing Wash

It took me awhile to get into Firefly when it originally aired, because I thought it was just going to be space cowboys -- which it was, but it was also so much more than that.

He was one of my two favorites who died, him and Shepard Book.  If Whedon had killed off Jayne Cobb too, I'd have probably attacked the movie screen.

Jayne is too badass to die   He, Mal, and Kaylee are my favs.  Actually, I named my guitar "Vera" after Jayne's gun!

As for my favorite movies:
Serenity
Empire Strikes Back
Evil Dead 2
Hot Fuzz
Waking Ned Devine
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
