Film 5 of 60: X-men (the first one)

Now I'm back on track with the first one! I must get ready for the Origins movie! Yea!

Film 4 of 60: Xmen 2

Okay, I thought I was putting the first one in, but it turned out to be the second one and then I didn't care, I just watched it. Very fun

Movie 3 of 60: Candleshoe

Starring Jodie Foster, Helen Hayes and David Niven. It is a movie full of reminiscing for me. I watched it often as a child. The movie is 2 years older than I am.
Jodie Foster starts as Casey, a young girl entangled in a treasure hunt. She pretends to be the long lost granddaughter of Lady St. Edmund's in order to get closer to the clues, but ends up getting closer to the family.
A very nice 70's Disney film, recommended for the whole family.

Movie 2 of 60: Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang

Starring Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. Lots of language, bit of nudity, definitely for adults.
Robert Downey Jr is one of my favorite actors and I do enjoy him in this film. He not only stars, he serves as narrator.
He starts out as a two bit thief who accidentally stumbles into an audition while running from the cops. He gets "discovered" and one thing leads to another, he ends up investigating a murder!

Movie 1 of 60: Pretty in Pink

I've decided to work my way through my movies. I thought I would go alphabetical, but decided to start with movies I haven't watched yet.
Pretty in Pink:
Molly Ringwald & Jon Cryer.
I thought i had seen it before but don't think that I actually have (not that I remember anyway).
Typical separation of rich kids and poor kids. Ducky is madly in love with his best friend who dates a rich guy, ignoring Ducky's protests.
She gets asked to Prom by Blaine (oh my word, that's really his name) and he blows her off, like a nice rich kid. Its cute and a classic 80's movie.
