Yes, I said I'd come back to this. Jack has tagged me, so I can't very well not respond, can I??

1.Total number of movies I own on DVD/Video:
Hmm. Not very many. And mainly videos, since I don't have a dvd machine of my own. Despite this I do have a copy of Love Actually on dvd..

Sound of Music
The Full Monty (hehe, v funny)
Bridget Jones (the original!)
Notting Hill
Fantasia
About a Boy
Have my mum's copy of Pride and Prejudice too- though I think she wants it back!)

I notice my video collection is a little chick-flick dominated- probably since these ones don't really lose lots in the re-watching!!

2. Last movie I bought:
Ooh, now there's a question. I think it was Love Actually, that a friend discovered v cheap somewhere!

3. Last movie I watched:
The Interpreter, in the cinema (vg). When Harry met Sally, last night on video.

4. Five movies that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):
The Sound of Music- cos it reminds me of my Mum who knows it off by heart after seeing it a gazillion times when working as an usher in the cinema when she was younger! And for the music too I guess.
Brassed Off- not only does it have an amazing soundtrack (brass band music, always fab!), but its really well observed and manages to be both gritty and touching, with a good dose of Northern humour to boot!
Bridget Jones- one of (if not my favourite) girl film, I kind of identify with Bridget on a number of levels, and it has just the right amount of soppy and funny. Oh yes, and Colin Firth...
The Full Monty- fantastic, good (un)clean fun! Never fails to amuse, no matter how many times I watch it.
Pride and Predjudice- though I'm not sure I'd count this as a movie, but I'm running out of ideas... I tend to identify with and aspire to the personality of Lizzy; a strong female character, who says what she thinks depsite peoples disapproval, and doesn't compromise who she is simply for the sake of fitting in, or getting a good husband!

5. Tag three people:
Hmm. Excited Rainbow Girl and, to send this outside the wibsite a little, Rachel and Pippa
