I'd like to suggest a movie~

I wasn't a very mature pre-teen.

I swear sometimes the only thing DH looks for in a movie is the inaccuracies, this is one of the reasons we each have our own tv's and remote controls. Please tell me all men are not like this.

See, you take that term "swashbuckler." Now, a "buckler" was a small shield. A "swash" is the sound that a sword makes when it "swishes" through the air. So, a swashbuckler is someone who straps on his little shield and swings his sword around ... ineffectively, for show.

Paper Lion is from "paper tiger" a Chinese idiom that have been translated directly into English through what linguists call “calquing.” Other examples include “running dog” and “brainwashing” ;).

I had a card for my father's 99th birthday: it had a picture of an olde guy trying to ride a tricycle. I wrote inside that staying young by not acting your age was "belated" in his case ;). One way his youthfulness used to be demonstrated was his ability to outwork me when he was in his 80's and I was half his age! Okay, I was not half his age. Right. I was a broken down olde man who just happened to find himself out in the midday sun ... with his father!

Garth: [sarcastic] That's SOME lion you bought.
Hub: Huh. SOME garden seeds YOU bought!

Steve: Hey! My pepper seed order came yesterday!

Or when I shout (usually in response to illogical behavior in a horror movie) "Why would they do that?"... DW answers, "Because the Director said so!".:D

Always been a sci-fi fan, so those movies figure prominently in my favorites. I really loved "The Abyss", so many sub-plots woven together, and a lot of memorable scenes. Liked the "Matrix" trilogy too, Keanu Reeves' martial arts training in that series proved useful in Jon Wick.

For drama, I loved "Legends of the Fall", a good tale about the enduring bonds of family. Being ex-military, I also enjoy a lot of the historically-based war movies, both old & new. DW loves the older musicals, particularly "Sound of Music" and "The King & I".

I am not a lover of horror movies but, why would you hide in the attic or cellar?
 
I think it would be interesting, to me, to go back and re-watch all the movies that made an impression on me when I was younger. When I re-read a book from a few years past, I get an entirely different take on it. I guess it just depends on where you are in your interests and emotional "journey", as to what impacts you in a movie/book.
 
I've found that even pretty bad movies remain dear when they are attached to a wonderful memory.
Armageddon - very mediocre & predictable disaster movie - is one of my favorites. :pop
 
In High School I thought Animal House was one of the funnest movies ever made. I watched it last week and all though out the movie was like what did I find so funny ?
