A movie survey


I wanted to try this movie survey for no particular reason and just because I thought it was fun giving it a try. However, it took me longer then I'd thought it would. It was really difficult to keep everything more or less contained and there are simply too many good movies. Here we go!
Your favorite movie: There are too many, I honestly can't decide. It's like choosing your favorite child! I count all those movies below to my favorite movies. 
The last movie you watched : Easy A
Your favorite action/adventure movie(s) : X-Men (all of them), Hanna, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, James Bond, Inception
Your favorite horror movie : Nightmare on Elm Street (not because it is very good but because of the memories and associations I have because of it- no nightmares!)
Your favorite drama movie : Atonement, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Bright Star, The Last King of Scotland, Anna Karenina, Forrest Gump, Doctor Zhivago, A Beautiful Mind, Dead Poets Society, Three Colors: Red, Blue and White, Black Swan, One Day, Birdsong, Les Miserables, In Bruges, Children of Paradise

Your favorite actress(es): Keira Knightley, Lena Headey, Emma Watson, Emma Stone, Lauren Graham, Emma Thomson, Jennifer Lawrence
The most overrated movie: Gone With The Wind (too cheesy and stupid even for my liking)
The most underrated movie: Big Fish, Hamlet, Match Point, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (!)
Your favorite character from any movie: Olive (Easy A), Arthur (Inception), ALL Harry Potter characters, Katniss (Hunger Games), the Minions, ...

Favorite documentary: Sadly, I don't watch so many documentaries.
A movie that no one would expect you to love: I've no idea what people's expectations are.
A movie that is a guilty pleasure: Maybe Imagine Me and You (very cheesy!) and Twilight but I always have a reason why I enjoy cheesy movies, so I don't really feel guilty or embarrassed.
Favorite classic movie: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Doctor Zhivago, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Movie with the best soundtrack: Atonement, Anna Karenina, Pride and Prejudice, Hanna (the whole soundtrack was made by the Chemical Brothers!)
A movie that changed your opinion about something: Seeing Anna Karenina made me realize that you can't and should not blame yourself for the rest of your life if you made a (considerably big!) mistake. Even if you hurt many people with your deeds (especially yourself), you shouldn't jump in front of a train for heavens sake!!! 
However, THIS is what learnt from Disney movies.
Your least favorite movie: I really didn't like American Pie. 

Is anyone brave enough to accept this movie survey challenge? It's not as easy as it looks like!

  1. "Underrated" as in "it didn't get the public recognition it deserved"? Many of my friends consider Big Fish "the last good" Tim Burton movie, which I'm inclined to believe, even though being not so familiar with his most recent work.

    Leaving that out of account, it nevertheless got nominated for several awards in its year of publication and "Man of the Hour" is a Pearl Jam classic.

    All in all, it's an awesome piece of art. Great storytelling has become so rare...
