Still haven't gathered enough mental energy to start the 100 Things meme, but I still hope to do it one of these days. In the meantime, let's have a movie meme! Got this off Tumblr.
1. What was the last movie you watched in theaters?
Blue Like Jazz

Cinderella
3. Top 5 movies
Already did that, but here they are again: Singin' in the Rain, My Fair Lady, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Notorious, Casablanca
4. Top 5 directors
Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Capra, George Cukor, Billy Wilder, Tom Hooper
5. A favorite adapted movie
A Tale of Two Cities (1958)
6. Your best experience on going to the movies
Hard to say. Seeing The King's Speech in theaters was pretty cool. (So cool I did it three times.) Also seeing Rear Window when it had a brief run in theaters a few years ago, to celebrate its restoration.
