I quit. Unfortunately, I probably have five thousand favorite movies and they really are favorites because something in each of them grabbed me. Like I've only seen Curtis' Dracula with Jack Palance once, but the ending scene is still with me as is the unabashed power of the character. I wanta write like that. But I also want to write the Court Jester "get it, got it, good" ...
so many movies, so little time and I didn't even touch on the anime ones that I love like Captain Harlock who lives in very, very forgiving space.
Definitely not in order
