2. What's your favorite movie now? I usually say White Christmas (1954) or - for a non-Christmas movie - Rio Grande (1950). If I'm talking to someone who doesn't know old movies, I say Rocky (1976). I have two Rocky t-shirts. 

3. What would be your dream cast for an adaptation of your favorite book? My favorite book has been Enemy Brothers by Constance Savory ever since I read it as a teen, but I have trouble imagining the characters as actors. Also, I would never want it made into a movie because Hollywood would ruin it lol. I took a long time to watch the Narnia movies because I didn't want to mess up the pictures in my head. I usually want to cast Henry Cavill as the love interest though. 

4. What's your favorite movie soundtrack?White Christmas (1954). Favorite song from the soundtrack (of which I had to make my own as there's no official version) is "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing."

5. Do you have a favorite movie-watching snack? I typically eat a snack of some sort while watching the next episode of whatever TV show I'm currently watching but if we have ice cream in the house I'll have that. Lately it's been Lance White Cheddar crackers though because I'm getting hungry from starting my movie too late. Unfortunately it's too hard to eat cereal (hard to hear plus you have to keep adding more cereal or milk and a table is needed). 

6. Who is your favorite person to watch movies with? I watch most of them by myself so I can cry if I need to but otherwise my brothers. Nothing worse than trying to wipe away tears streaming down your face without anyone noticing!

7. Is there a hairstyle in a movie that you've always wished you could pull off? Since I don't have thick luxurious hair I'm envious of most of them. I wish I could pull off Audrey Hepburn's Roman Holiday do.

8. What movie animal would you like as a pet? The puppy in The Three Lives of Thomasina (1963). It's so tiny and cute!

9. What movie house would you like to stay in on vacation? Probably the Christmas in Connecticut (1945) house. Then I would know what color everything was!

10. What's the oldest movie you've watched? The earliest one on my list that is over 45 minutes (my personal minimum running time requirement to be added to my movie list) is The Pilgrim (1923) by Charlie Chaplin. The first one over an hour long is Too Many Kisses (1925) starring Richard Dix and William Powell (it beats Chaplin's The Gold Rush (1925) - which was also the first silent movie I saw a part of - by a few months). 

11. What's the newest movie you've watched?Jungle Cruise (2021). It was such a fun film! Emily Blunt is my favorite current actress.

Instead of nominating anyone, I'm just going to ask some questions and whoever wants to answer them can do so, either on their blog (send me your link if you do!) or in the comments below.

Here are my questions:

1. Did you watch more movies or less movies than normal last year?
2. Latest movie star obsession:
3. A black and white movie you wish was in color, or vice versa: 
4. What is something else you are interested in (aside from old movies)?
5. Something you’ve seen in an old movie you’ve always wanted to do or try:
6. A fellow classic movie fan says that your favorite genre is their least favorite. What movie would you suggest to ease them in?
7. What is YOUR least favorite film genre?
8. Who would you cast as Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys in a TV series (any decade)? 
9. Have you ever gone out of your way while on vacation to see a movie location or movie star grave? If you do this often, what was the first one?
10. Have you ever purchased an item because it was exact or similar to a movie prop?
11. First TV show you remember watching?

I nominate YOU!
