Leftcoastzen Link isn‘t working 4w

Bookwormjillk I‘ve seen 27 which is about 25 more than I would have expected. This reminds me I‘ve been meaning to watch Shakespeare in Love. 4w

CogsOfEncouragement 26 for me. My all time favorite movie is My Fair Lady. (edited) 4w

See All 50 Comments

CSeydel 42 … I‘m exactly average 🤣 4w

melissajayne 43 for me 4w

rwmg 38, which I was surprised by. There were a couple that sounded vaguely familiar and which I might have seen on TV and forgotten about. 4w

Amor4Libros 30…I thought it was going to be lower 😅 4w

willaful Only 29 for me. I'm not that into the sort of movies that win Oscars, apparently. 4w

Blueberry 37, it was hard to remember some. 4w

nelsonmatt890 I like to connect with you and read, lol. 4w

AnnCrystal Thanks for the tag 🎬🥳💝. 4w

TheLudicReader 42! I am exactly average, too, @CSeydel ! 4w

kspenmoll 38 but now I want to see some of the older films. I mostly skip movies with war & too much violence- lingers in me too long 4w

Amiable Oh, man, only 29 for me. I‘m not a big movie person (weird, I know). I did love “The King‘s Speech.” And also, how DO you solve a problem like Maria? 🧐😀 4w

Cheryl_Russell 6, which is more than I thought I would get. 😂😂. Obviously not a big movie person. 😂🤣 4w

shortsarahrose 40! But I minored in film studies in college and watched a lot of old musicals during the pandemic 💃 4w

The_Penniless_Author Thanks for the tag! Only 36 - I really thought it would be higher. Favorites would have to be Casablanca, Godfather 1 and 2, and No Country for Old Men. 4w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Only 16. My tastes tend to run more pop-culture then critically acclaimed. Now, ask me about goofy sex comedies over the years, well, I've seen Porky's 100 times! 🤣 4w

Read4life Only 19! I need one for sports movies. 😂😂 4w

Bklover 35. Favorites would be Silence of the Lambs, Terms of Endearment, and Dances With Wolves. Oh, and Titanic. 3w

CSeydel @TheLudicReader woohoo 🙌🏻 (edited) 3w

dabbe @Leftcoastzen How about this one: https://www.listchallenges.com/academy-awards-for-best-picture 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk S in Love is excellent! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿💚📽️ 3w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Audrey Hepburn is beyond elegant, isn't she? And I had a huge crush on Sexy Rexy! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @CSeydel For these surveys, that's a great place to be! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @melissajayne #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @rwmg I hoped you counted them! Did you think you'd score more or less? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Amor4Libros Nice surprise, huh? 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @willaful I have a lot more that I want to watch! I haven't been into the later movies at all for some reason. The last one I saw in a movie theater was INSIDE OUT! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Blueberry IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @nelsonmatt890 The books are ALWAYS better than the movies! 🤩🤣🤩 3w

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @TheLudicReader You're in excellent company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @kspenmoll Same here! Most of the movies I have seen from this list are the older ones, especially musicals and such. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Amiable You're not weird at all! I haven't been inside a movie theater since INSIDE OUT came out! I love watching old movies, though. And double also, how do you catch a 🌥️ and pin it down? 🤔🤩🤗 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes I haven't been lately, either! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @shortsarahrose I'm a sucker for older movies, especially film noir. Do you have a favorite? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @The_Penniless_Author IKR? But then those first movies in the early 1930s, I was like 😳 Now I have a TBW list! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Or me with rom-coms or film noir! I haven't seen Porky's in ages ... time to revisit! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Read4life Oh, I love sports movies! My faves are probably HOOSIERS (rip Gene Hackman 🥺), the original BRIAN'S SONG, and RUDY. What are yours? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

dabbe @Bklover Wowza, what a list! You nailed some fab ones! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3w

Read4life Hoosiers is my top for sure!! I also love The Sandlot, Field of Dreams, Rudy, Miracle, oh I can go on and on!! Watching Hoosiers & The Replacements this weekend (Gene Hackman 💔) 3w

shortsarahrose Film noir is good, but my heart belongs to mid-century film melodramas, especially anything from Douglas Sirk. Written on the Wind is my favorite, but All that Heaven Allows and Imitation of Life are also great. I also love anything with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Swing Time is my favorite of theirs (except for the black face - might be the only film I‘ve seen Astaire do black face in), but all of them are fun. 3w

dabbe @Read4life I'm definitely rewatching HOOSIERS this weekend. Totally forgot about THE REPLACEMENTS, too! 🥺 3w

dabbe @shortsarahrose I need to look more into mid-century films. And 🎯 to Astaire and Rogers! 🎶 3w

tpixie @shortsarahrose @dabbe did you know that Fred sister was actually thought to be a better dancer? I didn‘t even know he had a sister!! Until I read

Starring Adele Astaire: A Novel

tpixie 40/96=0.417 46% 3w

dabbe @tpixie They were quite the pair ... until he went solo ... well, sort of. 🤩 3w

dabbe @tpixie #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚🩶💚 3w

tpixie @dabbe yes! And yes! 3w

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Impossible to resist a “greatest books” list.

I‘ve read 56 of the 100 books which puts me, at the moment, at #20 on the list.

Favorites include the tagged book—love it and The Fellowship of the Rings—as well as I Want My Hat Back (love Klassen), American Born Chinese, and The Graveyard Book.

Books I would add: The Lightning Thief (first Percy Jackson), Stuck (Oliver Jeffers), & The Monster at the End of this Book.

TracyReadsBooks @dabbe I benefitted from working in a school library for many years! Fun to revisit some favorites…some of which I still reread when I want to spend time with a great story. 2mo

So many I haven't heard of; quite a few I now want to read. The three in the pic above are my favorites that did NOT make the list. As some Littens have stated, the list was interesting to say the least. Even the BBC states that it “also has its limitations and biases“ and that “the list is not designed as a fait accompli, but rather as an inspiration for further discovery and debate.“ ⬇️

dabbe The BBC article was published in 2023, so it is quite recent. For more information or to tell them your thoughts about the list, visit this link:

peaKnit Only 19 here. Ope! 🤣 2mo

dabbe @Scochrane26 You're in great company with most of us! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit So many I hadn't even heard of! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2mo

DogMomIrene 😲They didn‘t include Where the Red Fern Grows? One of my English teacher friends and I would hand that book out to incoming 6th graders and explain what a seminal work it is, even all these years later. 2mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene IKR? My 4th grade teacher read it to us after recess. None of us knew how it would end--including her. We all sobbed at the ending! 🤩😂🤩 2mo

DogMomIrene @dabbe Similar experience, except my 3rd grade teacher didn‘t finish the book before summer and then we moved across country😲 I couldn‘t remember the title so I would meticulously scan every Scholastic book fair table until I eventually found the cover. Took a couple of years, but I too sobbed so hard🐶❤️🐶 2mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene That book was an EXPERIENCE. 🐾😭🐾 2mo

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

This was a fun one, as someone who now also teaches children's literature.

My favorites:
- Matilda by Roald Dahl
- The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
- The Arrival by Shaun Tan (though I wouldn't consider this a children's book!)

Ones I think should have been included:
- When You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff
- Sisters by Raina Telgemeier
- Holes by Louis Sachar

Amiable An also -- how is the Shardlake series? I've seen a few of you guys reading them for a group -- are they good? 3mo

Soubhiville Congratulations! That‘s great. 3mo

dabbe @Amiable I may be biased (since I lead the group), but I ADORE THEM! You've got Tudor England, a complicated and lovable hunchback detective named Shardlake (that's what he calls himself), and his arse of a sidekick Barak. Check it out if you're interested! #shardlakeseriesbr 🤩🤗🤩 3mo

dabbe #woohooyou! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

Amiable @dabbe I do like a good Tudor novel! I‘ll definitely give it a go. 3mo

I couldn't limit myself to just three favorites! There were a few books in the list I hadn't read, but I'd read others by the authors (I didn't count them, nor did I count movies).

Thanks for the tag, @dabbe ! #TLT #ThreeListThursday

dabbe #woohooyou! The only one I've read of your choices is REBECCA. Got the others now on the TBR! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎃🖤 5mo

I got 91/100… I love movie soundtracks. It‘s hard to pick top 3 songs, so I‘ll go with top 3 singers/actors

1. Gene Kelly
2. Barbra Streisand
3. Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers

Honorable Mention: Judy Garland

Classic movie musicals are totally my thing 😊

#TLT

lil1inblue I love classic movies - especially the musicals. Gene Kelly is just phenomenal! 7mo

dabbe #woohooyou! I adore classics and musicals, too! And your choices? 🎯 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩶❤️🖤 7mo

Mollyanna @dabbe this was a trip down memory lane, I couldn‘t get enough of the classic musicals during my teens and early 20s. 7mo
