The Alphabet Meme (or My Favorite Movies A - Z)


Dylan (aka Fletch) of Blog Cabins (insanely important film reviews) recently posted The Alphabet Meme, and I thought it looked like fun so I came up with my own list. The concept is simple--just pick your favorite film for each letter of the alphabet. However, the actual picking is far tougher since I could've easily selected three or more films for many letters. Try it yourself.

Here are my choices (with runner-ups in parentheses):

The Awful Truth (All About Eve, Annie Hall, Auntie Mame, American Graffiti)

Barefoot in the Park (Bringing Up Baby, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Birds)

Cold Turkey (Cactus Flower, Camp)

Dummy (The Daytrippers)

Election (Ed Wood)

Flirting with Disaster (Five Easy Pieces, Female Trouble)

The Graduate

Hannah and Her Sisters (Harold and Maude, Holiday, Houseboat)

If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium

Jaws

Klute

Little Murders (Lord Love A Duck, The Last Picture Show, Lady in a Cage)

The Manchurian Candidate (1962) (Manhattan Murder Mystery, Muriel's Wedding)

Nashville (Network, A Night at the Opera)

The Out-of-Towners

The Poseidon Adventure (Postcards from the Edge, Party Girl, Peyton Place)

Queen Bee

Rushmore (The Ritz, The Ref)

Starting Over (Soapdish, Shampoo, Smile, Sordid Lives)

Two for the Road (To Sir, with Love, Terms of Endearment)

Used People

Valley of the Dolls

What's Up, Doc? (A Wedding, The Women, The World According to Garp, Waiting for Guffman)

Xanadu

Young Frankenstein

Zodiac
