Fond of Movies

Yes people, this is a reformation. Not that I hated movies before, I had just never really been exposed to them. Quite the foil to my dear old friend, Oliver, who is a movie afficionado to say the least. He has also taken it upon himself to become my official film educator. I can honestly say that a weekend never goes by without my watching at least two movies with him, or suggested by him. Not to mention most of them have quickly gone from titles I'd never heard before to favorites. Since we've become friends it's been this way - I'm the reader and he's the watcher, and it's loads of fun rubbing off on each other. I have now begun the expansion of not only my list of movies watched, but of movies known and owned. My formerly exclusive DVD collection is steadily growing (and will hopefully become very large come Christmastime). I'd have to say my most recent movie obsessions have been Chicago, Love Actually, and St. Elmo's Fire. Chicago immediately went on my already too long Christmas list and the other two were so irresistibly fantastic that they have already been ordered via Amazon and are expected in the near future (and trust me, I can't wait!). Hopefully I'll be able to hold myself to a fraction of the movie knowledge of my Movie Mr. Miyagi and continue my film revolution until I have successfully mastered the art of being a true movie connoisseur.
