Last week, I was knocked out for 6 days with a killer flu. Over that period, I learned that not being able to work drives me insane. I couldn’t even check my email without feeling dizzy because of the fever. However, I’m an optimist and there was some good that came from my couch ridden week at home. Movies.
I caught up on a ton of flicks because quite literally, I had nothing else to do. One of the first films I watched was Goonies. I said it earlier in the week that I had never watched the entire film. Next time someone asks me if I’ve seen it, I can finally say that I have and I loved it.
Goonies is one of those movies I’m pre-programmed to like. There really wasn’t any doubt that a classic adventure film aimed at kids would entertain me. I wonder what the actor who played Junk is doing these days. That kid is hilarious in that movie.
Goonies kick started my week long movie marathon in style. I watched a whole lot of movies. Here they are in no particular order:
- Goonies (Obviously)
- The Dark Knight
- Batman Begins
- The Last House On The Left (Better than I thought it would be.)
- Drag Me To Hell (Wanted to love it but didn’t.)
- Fellowship Of The Ring (Extended edition with special features… Awesome everytime)
- Cool Runnings (Last weeks Rainy Sunday flick)
- A League Of Their Own (Baseball movies are always entertaining.)
- The Taking Of Pelham 123 (Expected a twist that never came.)
- Sling Blade (Never knew what this movie was about. Pretty awesome flick.)
- Casino Royale
- Saving Private Ryan
- In Bruges (The movie I find no one has seen. If you haven’t you really should.)
- Waiting
Now that I look at the list, it’s kind of a strange mix isn’t it? In either case, Goonies got me thinking about the movies I’m missing out on. There has to be thousands of classics I’ve never seen. This bothers me. There are probably about 40 movies I own and never seen. I aim to fix that.
PS: Finally back to work tomorrow. It’s about time.
