I was going to do reviews and blogs on entertainment on my other web site, OlderMusicGeek's Stupid Stuff at oldermusicgeek.blogspot.com, but I didn't want to bore people with my opinions and views, because everyone's opinions and views count. So I created this site for people who want to be bored with my take on different music, movies, books or whatever. Email me at OlderMusicGeek(at)yahoo(dot)com.

MOVIES: 15 Films In 15 Minutes
sI got this from a friend on Facebook - OlderMusicGeek
The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it - fifteen films that you've seen that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen that you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. - PS, If I tagged you, it's because I'm genuinely interested to see your list, cuz I think you might have good recommendations that I haven't heard before. :) Plz tag me back.
1. Star Wars: A New Hope (The most important film to me personally, not 100% sure why!)
2. It's A Wonderful Life (What can I say? I relate to Mr George Bailey!)
3. 2001 (one of the first films to really blow my mind)
4. Eraserhead (The film that has probably blown my mind the most. Still have no idea what it's about!)
5. Yellow Submarine (A great fun film with great music. It was kind of mind-blowing for the age when i first saw it!)
6. Wizards (Can't say I like it as much in my 40s as in my 20s. Bbut in my 20s, I went to every showing of that movie I could - Remember this was before vcr's and dvd's - That was the only way to see a movie!)
7. High Fidelity (Totally relate! Being the music geek i am!)
8. Wonder Boys (Again, I relate to both the kid and the old professor. I was/am like each!)
9. (500) Days Of Summer (Just an awesome film about boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy moves on.)
10. Bladerunner (Just a beautiful, well-made film, great message, great blend of film noir and science fiction.)
11. The Wizard Of Oz (Family would go to grandpa and grandma's to watch this cus they had a color tv! And fond memories of my daughter and i watching it!)
12. A Christmas Story (Do i have to say anything?!)
13. Fantastic Planet (Just another film that blew my mind when I first saw it. Still like it now, though not impressed as I was a teen)
14. Rust Never Sleeps (Another midnight movie of my youth. A great concert movie by Neil Young.)
15. Pink Floyd's The Wall (Great well-made movie with great music.)
