So I made fun of Bubblehead and now I’ve been passed this movie meme. Teach me to be smart-mouthed!

Number of films I own on DVD/Video: Um, Peter and me combined? About 120, plus some TV series (Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Doctor Who). I myself have about two big banker boxes of VHS’s but they’re at home, cuz, well, we have a VCR on the shelf, alas it is not plugged in.

The last film I bought: Uh, Peter bought, and that would be Zoolander and The Birdcage. It should have been The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, but Circuit City just makes us so freaking angry, so we left in a huff.

The last film I watched: A Shot In the Dark. Unless you count the first half of The Scold’s Bridle, a mystery I just watched on BBC America. But I guess that’s more a miniseries.

Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (in no particular order): (Yes it is, it’s in alphabetical order) Uh, an ever-shifting list, but these days I’d have to say:

• Amelie
• Gosford Park
• Mansfield Park
• Pride and Prejudice (which I don’t actually own, but my birthday’s in August!)
• Snatch
• And because Pride and Prejudice is technically a miniseries than, uh, The Englishman Who Went up a Hill But Came Down A Mountain, any of The Lord of the Rings, either of the two Bournes, The Philadelphia Story, Love Actually, and if Circuit City wasn’t so freaking stupid, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Yes I’m very needy.

And now I’m penitent.

Update (6.1):

I forgot to pass it on. Well, in my own tradition, I choose George HW Bush, Arnold Schwatzenegger, and Junichiro Koizumi.
