5 Movies That Make You Want To Do…Something
Shakespeare in Love makes me want to buy a green leather jacket
I mean, right?
I guess there was also that thing where it kinda completely won me over in spite of its… you know… mushiness and made me think that tragic, passionate, storybook love was not only better than the real thing, but attainable, somehow, even when it ends badly. Jesus. I blame Tom Stoppard for writing this movie too well, but boy does it play a number on my heartstrings when I watch it. (Which, by design, has not happened in the last 5 years).
Actually, just scratch that. It’s all about the jacket.
About a Boy made me want to join Big Brothers & Sisters. And Fast Food Nation made me want to eat a burger (otherwise I’d never eat meat again).
Interesting reaction to Fast Food Nation…
It was something that I was sure that I didn’t want to stew on and think about because it would make me sick to my stomach. I just needed something like a triple baconator with cheese to remind me why I eat meat and to put the movie out of my mind.
It’s probably a testament to my antisocial tendencies that I”d put Taxi Driver on this list.
I hesitate to ask, but what exactly does Taxi Driver make you want to do?
I love Let the Right One In. What a great movie.
….something. Get organizized, I guess.
