After a long week moving the library to it's temporary location, (ok, it's wasn't that long for me as I took a day and a half of vacation time) I am back to my blog. I have missed it so.
For those who don't know me (or for that matter, those that do) I have an obsession with Youtube. I find myself watching it all the time. If my mother knew about this, she would claim it's the reason my house looks like it does. Any way, one of the things I love to do on Youtube (besides watching various clips of Robert Pattinson) is view various scenes from my favorite movies. I am now going to share some of them with you. I hope you enjoy.
FAVORITE BEGINNING TO A MOVIE - Beauty and the Beast Prologue
Beauty and the Beast, the only animated movie to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, is my all time favorite Disney movie. I have the DVD, soundtrack CD and various related Beauty and the Beast paraphernalia around my house. For a time, I even had a Beauty and the Beast shower curtain. So you can tell I am a fan. One of the things I love about this movie is it's prologue. At one time, I even had it memorized. Even today, it still gives me chills.
BEST KISS - Some Kind of Wonderful (Keith and Watts Kiss) - Some Kind of Wonderful is one of my all time favorite John Hughes movies (may he rest in peace). It's the story of the unpopular Keith who gets tricked into taking out the most popular girl in school. His best friend, tomboy Watts, has a thing for Keith herself but agrees to help Keith out on his date. In this scene, she helps him with kissing. I love it.
BEST MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH - Meatballs - This movie, starring the wonderful Bill Murray, is the story a summer camp that is in a competition with a rival summer camp. They really don't have much hope of winning, but Bill's speech spurs them on. Again, this is one of my favorite films. It may be a little dated and cliche, but it's funny. And someday I for see myself running through the hallowed halls of KHCPL chanting this speech.
SCENE FROM A KEVIN COSTNER MOVIE THAT STILL GIVES ME CHILLS - The Untouchables The Chicago Way Scene - Before my Robert Pattinson fetish, there was my Kevin Costner fetish. I have seen the majority of his films multiple times. I even watched Dances with Wolves on the front row of a theater. (It's a 3 hour movie and let me tell you, that wasn't easy). I find Kevin dreamy and probably always will. There are many wonderful scenes I could list hear but the one that gives me chills every time is from The Untouchables. It's a scene where Sean Connery's Jim Malone character give Kevin's Elliot Ness character a lesson on how to bring down Al Capone.
FUNNIEST WEDDING SCENE - Four Weddings and a Funeral - This scene is from the second wedding in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Rowan Atkinson (who I love) plays a vicar who is doing his first wedding. Being extremely nervous, he blunders through the ceremony. I remember watching this in the theater and laughing so hard I had tears running down my face.
These are just a few of my favorite scenes from movies. I will continue to post ones that I come across. And I want all of you that are concerned about my obsession with all things Twilight to note, none of the scenes I posted were from that movie. I won't guarantee that will always be the case.
