Movies

[valancy_jane]

Everyone should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).

Quick list:

Return to Oz
Rear Window
Clash of the Titans
Time Bandits
To Catch a Thief
Unico in the Island of Magic
Logan's Run (original)
Return of the Jedi
Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson's)
Xanadu

Edit: Probably should have The Last Unicorn and certainly The Dark Crystal. So many great movies.

I am surprised to not see The Last Unicorn on this list, although I don't know what I'd replace.

Oh, drat. You are correct. If I were to revise, I would probably move Time Bandits to 11th. I am sure I am missing others, but these came to mind. I am trying to get back to posting. It makes me sad to see nothing up, memories just disappearing.

Yes with all that extra time we have to write all the things down that are happening to make sure we don't have time to write

Unico! Is a movie I believe I have seen as a wittle won, but cannot convince myself it is true.

I recall a movie from my childhood, that scared the shit out of me, that had a unicorn or unicorns or other creatures who were made into FLAT versions of themselves by a bad guy. the hero unicorn was white and there was a little black unicorn?

Is this Unico? Either the movie you've listed or possibly another Unico movie, OR do you know what it is, OR was it a fever dream that has haunted me my whole life?

It is real!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zofhUuf5A-c

And I swear, that is like the universal reaction. Including my own, for years, as increasingly no one knew what I was talking about. Then the internet saved me. It really existed. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. :D
