Six on Screen

I've come across this twice so far today, so I figured I ought to hop on the bandwagon. Feel free to follow suit.

1. Earliest Film Related Memory
Going to see Candleshoe in the theater, which left little impression on me as I can't recall a thing about the film beyond the title and Joy Foster's presence. On the other hand, for some reason I have a vivid memory of the preview of Gray Lady Down that showed that day.

2. A Favorite Line from a Movie
Just one? That makes this a little difficult, but for old time's sake I'll go with I have a bad feeling about this. From Star Wars. Of course.

3. Jobs You Would Do If You Could Work in the Biz
I don't know if this job exists, but I'd like to the 'sound track guy' i.e. the guy in charge of deciding which songs will be used in a movie.

Also, I have no idea what the 'best boy' or the 'gaffer' does, but I kinda like the titles. Who wouldn't want a business wth gaffer emeritus emblazoned on it?

4. Three Directors I Like
That's easy: Sam Peckinpah, John Woo, and Ridley Scott.

5. Screenwriter I Love
For lack of a better answer I'll say Tarantino, but on the whole I don't pay much attention to screenwriters. Sorry, screenwriters.

6. A Movie I'd like to Re-Make or a Property I would Like to Adapt for Film
Let's see, for a re-make I'll go with Zulu. Yes, it'd be a touch sell in these PC times, but it's a great (and true) story. And the battle scenes could be greatly improved with today's technology.
