Alaina's Trial by Movies: The Follow-Up

So, a few months ago I was thinking that I would really like to do something to follow up with Alaina, other then just stopping. So, I came up with 25 questions to see what she thought about these movies. I really wanted to see was she remembered and what her real favorites were!

1. What was your favorite movie? I think that it's a tie between Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Pillow Talk. Mr. Smith because Jimmy Stewart is bae and Pillow Talk because I love the whole shared phoneline scenes.

2. Who ended up being your favorite actor? Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart. Again I love Jimmy Stewart. Bob Hope is because I really did love his facial expressions.

3. What was your least favorite movie? Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. It was just a weird movie.

4. Who was your least favorite actor? Well, this might break your heart, Sammy Davis Jr.. He didn't really make a big or memorable impression. (It really didn't break my heart. I get why he didn't I thought she was going to say Mickey Rooney or Frank Sinatra.)

5. Did you have an actor you thought you were not going to like? Not really. There wasn't anyone on the list that I wasn't interested in seeing.

6. Did you have a movie that you thought you were not going to like? I thought I was not going to like Ziegfeld Girl because you said it was sad. Then there was also Mildred Peirce because of the genre.

7. Which movie was the biggest surprise to you? That would be between The Princess and the Pirate and Ziegfeld Girl. The ending of Pirate really got me cause Bing Crosby stole the girl and the other because it was sad but I ended up enjoying it more that I thought.

8. Which Actor was the biggest surprise to you? Bob Hope. I wasn't sure what I was expecting from him. However, I was not expecting him to be that great. Then there was Judy Garland. Before this I have only seen her in was The Wizard of Oz. So, seeing her in another movie being weird and quirky was really fun!

9. Which actor has the most lasting impression on you? Judy Garland and Bob Hope.

10. Which movie had the most lasting impression on you? Princess and the Pirate and Bells are Ringing

11. Who would you like to see more movies of? Bob Hope and Doris Day

12. Where there any genres that you like better than the others? Comedy and Musicals. However, in the right mood I enjoyed the dramas.

13. Which genre did we not get to explore as much that you wish we did? Honestly, I would have liked to see a little more drama.

14. What did you expect to learn from these movies? I wasn't expecting to learn but I was expecting to appreciate films more and being more well rounded.

15. What was the lesson you did learn? Appreciation for classic movies and expanded my views of movies. Some of the drams I would have never had picked because I am normally a funny or die kind of a girl.

16. What was the most memorable moment/scene? The decorating scene in Pillow Talk where she totally changes his apartment. The filibuster scene in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

17. Do you have a most memorable line? Not off the top of my head

18. What was the most irritating scene/ moment? In Bells are Ringing when she changes all of the bets without knowing she screwed up the gambling ring.

19. What did you think of classic movies before you knew me? That they were boring. It's wonderful that my mind changed a little.

20. What do you think of classic movies now? They are fun! A lot of them are cleaner and the people seems to treat each other better. No garbage. I also love the snippet in time with the language and the fashion. There were also a lot of similarities. So, it was foreign and familiar at the same time.

21. How has this challenge change your perspective on movies as a whole? A wider appreciation for different types of movies. It really got me out of my comfort zone.

22. Did the challenge make you anymore interested in movies (new or classic)? As a whole no. I enjoyed that movies that we have scene but I am more interested in classic films.

23. If you could change any aspect of this challenge what would it be? Nothing really except to do this in a more timely manner.

24. Would you do a challenge similar to this again? Yes.

25. Do you have a challenge that you would like me to do? *She laughed evilly at this point* I have two. 1st I want you to watch Chuck. (She has been trying to get me to watch this show forever but she told me how it ends so I haven't wanted to.) The second is I want you watch Secret Garden (This is a funny show that she has told me about before. I am pretty sure she said that it was Korean).


Well, looks like I have more challenges to add to my list...…. I have like 25000 already so hopefully I can get these started soon!
