22. Gone with the Wind: In middle school we had a substitute teacher once who told us the story of Gone with the Wind one lunch break while we were stuck in the classroom due to bad weather. She was a great story teller and it was a great story, I just fell in love with it. Of course, she didn't finish the story, just told us about the 1st half or so of the 1st part of the movie. I think maybe we watched it in class after she told the story? I'm sure, but if she didn't then I talked my parents into renting it shortly thereafter.
22. Harry Potter and the Socrcerer's Stone, 23. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, 24. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: grouping these three together seemed prudent. Although, my favor Harry Potter movie was the Prisoner of Azhkaban. I loved the change to the darker story, less childlike. The new set of the Hogwarts was fantastic and really showed how Hogwarts is just off on its own, not really a part of anywhere else.
25. The Hobbit: Saw the cartoon when I was a kid, sorry Andrea - I spit hot cocoa all over her back because Gollum scared me so much... Still really dislike Gollum. Not excited about reading this book.
30. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: There are so many versions of this, and generally I try and watch them all. I've seen the cartoon, the TV Mini-series, the Sci-Fy channel's reimagined Alice (which I loved), and tried to watch the new Tim Burton movie... but I've fallen asleep watching it twice. Its just a little too out there for me I think. I like 'different' and 'outhere' but there needs to be a reason for it, this one just seemed to be different for different's sake.
33. The Pillars of the Earth: Currently reading - saw the first two episodes of the miniseries.
35. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: This is another movie, where I very much like the original and just had a really hard time with Tim Burton's update. The original is just the very weird, musical, dark movie with amazing bright and happy parts to it. I still have dreams of scoping marshmellow creme out of the spot of a mushroom.
40. Emma: I know that I have seen Emma - but I honestly don't remember it from Sense and Sensibility and a few others that all came out around that same time. I guess I'll watch them all again after seeing the movie.
Up next week: 41 - 60. Still reading Pillars of the Earth, but I've only read about 10 pages in the past two weeks.
