I am not moving from this couch

Since I gave a list of some music I've listened to while sick, I suppose I should list some of the movies I've watched as well. Some of these I've seen before and others are new to me.

  • Rushmore
  • Amélie
  • Il Postino
  • L.A. Story
  • Harold and Maude
  • Cinema Paradiso
  • My Neighbor Totoro
  • The Incredibles
  • Some Like it Hot

I'm not going to offer any commentary for any of these, except to say that they are all good movies and you watch them eventually. Except for Amélie--if you haven't seen Amélie, stop whatever the hell you're doing right now YES RIGHT NOW and go beg, borrow, steal, or digitally pirate (or, well, purchase leagally) a copy of this movie and watch it. Now! Go! (Yes, I realize I'm quite late to the party on this.)

As an aside, I've seen a few movies lately in languages other than English, necessitating my use of subtitles. Occasionally I've found myself getting distracted from the movie, only to realize a minute or so later that I've been listening but not watching the movie, and the movie is in a language I don't understand, and now I have no idea what is going on, and yet this surprises me because forgot that I was using the subtitles to figure out what was going on. Does this happen to anyone else? Probably not.

The other thing about Amélie is that I've been inexplicably saying "hello, monsieur Quincampoix" to myself under my breath all day. I feel vaguely ill at ease about this.

Some Like It Hot...ah, yes. Even if you profess an aversion to old movies, I defy you to find something about this one that you don't like.

Why is this list of titles seemingly haphazardly italicized?
