Movie Alphabet Meme #2.

Tom over at Movie Reviews by Tom Clift did this recently and I thought it'd be fun. I've done it in the past, about 3 years ago, which you can see here. I think it's pretty fascinating to see some of the similarities and differences between the two over just 3 years. This time, there weren't really any specifications on how to choose the movies, but I'm assuming it's a favorite movie that begins with that particular letter of the alphabet. So I'm gonna go ahead and do that now. And if any of you would like to play along, go for it!

Alphabet MeMe.

In order to procrastinate writing my newest novel even more, I've decided to take Fletch's Alphabet Meme challenge (and then set the timer to post this tomorrow, which will be today by the time you read this), which is thus:

The Rules

1. Pick one film (your favorite film) to represent each letter of the alphabet.

2. The letter "A" and the word "The" do not count as the beginning of a film's title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don't know of any films with those titles.

3. Return of the Jedi belongs under "R," not "S" as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars trilogy; all that followed start with "S." Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs under "R," not "I" as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. In other words, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release. Conversely, all films in the LOTR series belong under "L" and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia series belong under "C," as that's what those filmmakers called their films from the start. Use your better judgement to apply the above rule to any series/films not mentioned.

4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number's word. 12 Monkeys would be filed under "T."

5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that I can eventually type "alphabet meme" into Google and come up #1, then make a post where I declare that I am the King of Google.

6. If you're selected, you have to then select 5 more people.

Angel-A

Bang Bang You're Dead

Cube

Dawn of the Dead

Eleven:Fourteen (11:14)

Feast

Game, The

Hot Fuzz

Inside Man

Jacket, The

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Matrix, The

Napoleon Dynamite

Oldboy

Pitch Black

Quarantine (just because I've never seen another movie that starts with Q, apparently)

Rundown, The

Shaun of the Dead

Twenty-Eight Days Later...

Usual Suspects, The

V For Vendetta

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

X2: X-Men United

Ying Xiong (also known as "Hero" with Jet Li)

Z
oolander

(Man, that was more difficult than I thought).

And now to tag some people:

Kano from Kano's Kogitation.
Al the Gal at His Gal Friday.
The guy over at Life (And Sandwiches).

And that's all I'm tagging, because Fletch basically tagged everybody else I probably would have tagged.
