    Ada in 10 movie titles

    Apologies it took me nearly a month to revisit this topic. I could tell you how much soul-searching and imdb-ing was required in order to narrow it down to just 10 titles that would capture the essence of me perfectly... but the truth is I got busy, unmotivated, and busy some more. 3 or 4 titles were jotted down from day one and it really took me no more than 20 mins just now to hammer out the rest.

    For those who have just joined in, this is a response blog to my previous entry:
    Describe Yourself to me in 10 Movie Titles

    Admittedly I've only gotten 2 responses, perhaps this task is either too uninteresting or too hard. Nonetheless, I promised to post what I received and my own list.

    Further set-back, one of the responses is coming via snail mail and has yet to arrive. The other I received from film_no_r:

    A Serious Man
    In the Mood For Love
    Lolita
    The Experiment
    Sex, Lies & A Videotape
    ...it Happened One Night
    Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang
    The Last Detail
    Igby Goes Down
    Tell No One

    Good list dude. We'll just refrain from asking about Lolita ok? ;)


    As for me...in no particular order:

    1. Ghost world
    2. Groove (my past)
    3. When Harry Met Sally (I couldn't think of another movie where the boy/girl knew each other for a million years before dating)
    4. Toronto Stories
    5. New York, I Love You
    6. European Vacation
    7. St Elmo’s Fire
    8. It’s Kind of a Funny Story
    9. Dinner with Friends (I detest the actual movie btw)
    10.Reality Bites

    Couple others that I considered: Art School Confidential and Days of Being Wild

    I continue to welcome your submissions, just sayin' ;)
