The kiss reel...<br /><br />Your question at the end: the movie that made you fall in love with movies? Wow. I really can't remember a time when I didn't love them so I better go early. I suppose it has to be Star Wars, the original. I know, cliche. But it's Star Wars and I knew nothing going in. I was four.

But my #1 choice would have to be this:<br />[Link> <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8ZktG3aD6g" rel="nofollow">A LITTLE ROMANCE (trailer)</a></b><br /><br />The French boy, Daniel, is obsessed with American movies and meets Lauren (Diane Lane) on a movie set.

I liked it so much more than I expected when I was reluctantly convinced to see it in the theatre. I'm not the biggest Eddie Murphy fan but he was quite adroit in this. <br /><br />Conversely I thought I'd really enjoy Hugo but was underwhelmed by it. <br /><br />I'd seen The Haunted Castle before. It is so impressive for something made at the dawn of film. <br /><br />My first thought was Cinema Paradiso-a lovely, lyrical film. Other than that there's The Purple Rose of Cairo which is one of Woody Allen's better films again tinged with nostalgia and one I didn't love-Fade to Black. It had a great concept, crazed movie fan stages murder based on movie scenes that he's obsessed with but the execution is off. Dennis Christopher gives a go for broke performance in it though. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-10259410767082045162022-05-05T15:37:27.641-04:002022-05-05T15:37:27.641-04:00I wanted to love Hugo, because it is obviously mad...I wanted to love Hugo, because it is obviously made for fans of films.

I saw <i>Hugo</i> somewhat recently and absolutely loved that one.<br /><br />One of my favorites in this category is <i>Ed Wood</i>. This is one of the most uplifting optimistic films about a film director whose work is so mediocre that it has become classic and yet exemplary of bad movies. This film is like a love-letter to filmmaking and resonates so well with me because I loved Wood's <i>Plan 9 from Outer Space</i> when I was a kid.<br /><br />Within recent weeks I saw <i>Chaplin</i> with Robert Downey Jr and enjoyed it immensely. Such a wonderful look at the early days of movie making and the interesting life of a talented and complex man.<br /><br />So many of Fellini's films embrace the love of movies that I could name a few of them, but I'll go with the great <i>8 1/2</i>. It's all about making films and the personalities that are involved in the process. <br /><br />I think <i>Cinema Paradiso</i> also deserves a mention here. It's been years since I've seen this one. I want to see it again.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-33632548018207816052022-05-05T09:25:16.219-04:002022-05-05T09:25:16.219-04:00I LOVE that you went with Bowfinger.
