Thriftcriminal tagged me to say who I’d choose to star as me and my family in a movie about me.

I’ve been mulling it over and am finding it a bit of a toughie.

So I’ve come up with a compromise reply ….

I’m going to list some of the films I like and give a reason why I like them.

The Shawshank Redemption ….. ‘cos ‘good’ wins out in the end and I loved the scene where Tim Robbins is on his boat on a sandy beach as Morgan Freeman approaches him. I especially liked the line …. ‘get busy living or get busy dying’.

It could happento you …… again a ‘feel good’ type film …. Nicholas Cage plays the cop who wins the lottery, gives half of it to a waitress cos he made a promise to share it with her if he won …. and it starred Bridget Fonda (and she’s gorgeous … love her smile)

I like Saving Private Ryan …. I love the effect of the film on big screen … it was playing on a large flat screen in a shop as I went to buy my new tv ….. I was sold on it straight away!

I love the old black and white films also ….. good old fashioned violence … you can’t beat it!

Sorry TC …. best I can do.
