What Movie Do You Convince Others To Watch?

by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor

I’m a member of the LAMB (Large Association of Movie Blogs), as you’ll note from the logo on the Home page and the LAMB rating I give each #MiniMovieReview.  Also, on occasion I’m a guest on the LAMBcast Podcasts.  Earlier this month, the host of the LAMBcast, Jay Cluitt, who had hosted over 200 shows, decided to step down and turn the mic over to another member. 

To mark the occasion, he decided to have a Podcasting Marathon Going Away Party, where a slew of us all came on with a movie topic, game, or some kinda bit and took a moment to say farewell to Jay.  It was a good deal of fun!  LISTEN BELOW

LAMBCAST #558 JAY’S FAREWELL PARTY

ANSWER THE BELOW FUN QUESTIONNAIRE OF
MOVIE HABITS & WHAT IF’S I ASKED JAY

For my little segment (190:50 Le Anne is curious about Jay’s viewing habits) 
I prepared the following 10 Questions, only had time to ask 4 or 5. But thought it would be fun to put the questions out there for any viewers to answer in the comments or share with others…

1.  What Movie Do You Convince Others To Watch?

T&T: Nacho Vigalondo’s COLOSSAL (Anne Hathaway & Jason Sudeikis) not a lot of people have seen it and when I try to explain it’s a Kaiju mixed with a Rom/Com, and a little angsty, it’s hard to convince people all those things mix together perfectly in this flick from 2017.

2. If you’ve seen the movie YESTERDAY (Danny Boyle) the world forgot the Beatles ever existed. If everyone in the world except you suddenly forgot these 5 Classic Pop Culture films, which would you be the saddest about the world forgetting? And which would you try to recreate? –

• Back to the Future 
• Star Wars
• The Godfather
• Groundhogs Day
• The Wizard of Oz

T&T: Although, it was hard for me to watch THE WIZARD OF OZ as a child because of all the anxiety I felt about Dorthy being lost and of course those terrifying Flying Monkey’s, I still feel this would be a crushing loss to the world of entertainment, music and imagination if the world forgot.

And I’d remake STAR WARS because I’d like to remove a few battle scenes and add more time for the characters to have bonding moments, plus it would still probably make just as much perpetual loot, if it were made for the first time today.

3.  Favorite movie to fall asleep to?

T&T: Carey Grant & Ingrid Bergman in INDISCREET – it’s truly one of my favorites, but I’ve seen it so many times and its pacing and music makes it so comforting to fall asleep watching.

4. Play the game Marry, Kiss, Kill with these 3 Marvel Heroes – Ironman, Black Panther, Thor (for this game you have to go back in time when everyone was alive both literally & fictionally)

T&T:  This is hard because I’d definitely want to live in Wakanda, but I don’t feel the same kind of chemistry for Black Panther (no offense to the sadly deceased, beautiful Chadwick Boseman) as I do the other two. As all my friends know I’ve always had a crush on Robert Downey, Jr. and Iron Man’s home life with Pepper Potts looked so lovely, he seemed to settle down well. But Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is so handsome and funny & manly, well, when he’s not in the dumps drinking too much beer.  And of course, he’s the hardest to kill… I don’t have an answer 

5. Name 3 movie you stop and watch whenever you catch them on TV that you know are not good movies?

T&T: LOOK WHO’S TALKING & LOOK WHO’S TALKING TOO & Michael Keaton in DUPLICITY

6. If you were stranded on a desert island and rom/coms were the only thing streaming, name a few that you would watch?

T&T: Almost all of them except for KNOCKED UP & THE WEDDING PLANNER

7. Favorite movie to watch if you’re high or drunk?


T&T:  I don’t get high and haven’t been drunk in over 20 years, but hypothetically I’d choose Boots Riley’s SORRY TO BOTHER YOU because it’s so trippy it’d be interesting to see it as he must have been when he made it.

8. What movie does your dog stop and watch with you?

T&T: I don’t have any pets. But my favorite movie starring a dog or dogs is still LADY & THE TRAMP live action or animated.

9. If you were entertaining a mixture of children ages ranging 5 – 15 what movie would you choose for them to watch together?

T&T: TOY STORY 3 it’s got something for everyone!

10. Which movie could you listen to like a Podcast with just audio?

T&T: HIS GAL FRIDAY with Carey Grant & Rosalind Russel cause it’s a fast-paced verbal volley. Or Disney’s ROBIN HOOD because as a kid I listened to the record over and over again.

Now it’s your turn, feel free to answer the question in the Comments or on the Facebook page for this post
