Re: GTKY: Movie Edition
Im a big movie buff. I took several film courses in college for fun and the Oscars is on my to watch list yearly. Admittedly, since having kids I have not been as good about seeing all of the contenders in recent years as they normally aren’t released out of theatres in time but we did just watch Free Solo which is up for best documentary and I thought it was really good - that dude is bananas - probably one of the greatest human achievements ever.
I think if really had to pick I would pick 1776, I know it's not super historically accurate, but I like to think it's educational, and it has really great lines, and amazing songs. It is also the one movie I put at the top of the list every movie night, and it has yet to be picked...
My favorite movies of all time are Annie and Space Camp (I used (still??) want to be an astronaut.)
Not a big Oscar watcher here. Most of the time I haven't gotten around to seeing all the nominations, so it doesn't mean much to me!
But I truly do love movies and going to the movies. I really enjoy documentaries, and comedies, and rom coms, superhero movies, musicals. Really the only things I don't watch is the whole horror/suspense/thriller genre. I have an overactive imagination and high anxiety, so scary stuff sticks with me FOREVER.
@ElcaB I also love Love Actually. It's definitely up there on my list.
Before we had kids, we would see probably a movie a week. Now we are so painfully behind it’s not even funny.

I don't care about the Oscars (or any big awards ceremonies for that matter) amd I haven't been to the movies in years. There's just not a lot that comes out that I'm like "oooh, I have to see that!"
I like dark comedies.
I’ve not seen the Oscars in many years and I’m not really up on current movies. I usually watch the first half and fall asleep.
I'm not a huge movie person. We generally wait for them to come out on Netflix or Amazon. But we always go see Star Wars in theaters (DD2s nursery is star wars).
No idea what movies apply to the Oscars cuz we don't have TV and I'm out of touch. I probably haven't seen much of anything.
I use to love watching the Oscar movies and the Oscars, and then we had kids.
Edited because I somehow hit post before I was ready!
I've got a wide range of favorites--The Other Guys always cheers me up, I love Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, the Goonies, White Christmas and I think my favorite "serious" movie is Gosford Park.
