The Movie Meme
Here is something fun I picked up from Red Nose
Meme At The Movies
1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.
I would love to say Forrest Gump but it's not that. It might be Casablanca but more than likely it is The Great Escape or West Side Story which are 2 family favorites we saw over and over and over again during my childhood and then again when I married Rich and we had the kids.
2. Name a movie that you've seen multiple times in the theater.
As an adult, it was The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond because I just absolutely love his music. When I was younger I had this inexplicable crush on Charlton Heston and saw Hijacked about 3 times in one day.
3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie.
Tom Hanks, he's versatile and can do anything! He is my favorite actor right now.
4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.
Adam Sandler

Forrest Gump--life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get and stupid is as stupid does!
