Mettel Ray over at Mettel Ray Movie Blog is hosting a blogathon that I’ve been excited to take part in!
I’m breaking this into two parts since I am away – Part 2
Here are the details from the source:
Thanks to a kind recommendation, I’m hosting my first ever Blogathon! The idea is simple but trust me when I say this, deciding on a list is far more difficult – are you ready for the challenge? Those who are brave enough to take on this task, check out My Movie Alphabet for inspiration, motivation and maybe some guidelines, post your alphabet on your blog and send the link to my e-mail: mettelray@msn.com. Before you know it, your alphabet will be featured on this page.
# – 2001: A Space Odyssey
Not only is 2001 the pinnacle of science fiction for me, it is one of Stanley Kubrick’s finest films ever.
A – Alfred Hitchcock
Good evening…
B – “Bruce” the shark from Jaws
Still scares the crap out of me today even though it’s a dated piece of animatronics.
C – Charles Bronson
No one is more of a badass than Charles Bronson.
D – Dawn of the Dead
One of the first movies that really got me interested in movies, oddly enough.
E – Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Though I’ve only seen it a few times, it’s a film that I can’t seem to forget (see what I did there?).
F – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Who hasn’t seen this movie a million times?
G – Georges Méliès
A true pioneer that made films magical.
H – Hugo
If nothing else, Hugo makes me remember what is so special about the movies.
I – Ingrid Bergman
Classic beauty and a fantastic actress.
J – Jack Nicholson
Easily one of my favorite actors ever.
K – King Kong
I’m a stop-motion junkie and King Kong still holds up amazingly well.
L – Little Shop of Horrors
One of the few musicals I can tolerate – and sing along with.
M – Martin Scorsese
Perhaps the greatest director still working today.
…to be continued…
I think that’s the first mention of Charles Bronson and “Little Shop of Horros”. All I have to say about that is, “feed my Seymour, feed me now.”
I love Bronson in just about everything he is in: “Once Upon A Time in the West” and the “The Mechanic” being my favorites.
Great 1/2 list. Can’t wait for the second part.
Charles Bronson is my god. I can literally watch any movie of his and be glued to the screen. Mechanic is one of my favorites too and another one I’d recommend that is lesser known is Mr. Majestyk.
I’ll give it a go.
Great choices! 🙂
So cool! Great post. I love it.
You should give it a shot too!
Great to see Dawn Of the Dead in there Andy. I just seen this myself again recently.
Thanks! Honestly, I need to watch it again. It’s been about 5 years I think. I used to watch it and Return of the Living Dead regularly.
Great picks 🙂 Looking forward to part 2!
I’m glad you broke this series up into sections, that really helped me tackle the project 🙂
🙂
Great choices here man, a couple of leftfield ones too, which I like. Eagerly awaiting part 2…
I tried to get some weird choices in there just because I wanted it to be unique to me.
Cool choices so far 🙂
Thanks!

Great start to the list; I like the inclusion of Charles Bronson, he’s one of my favorite actors as well.
Charles Bronson deserves more acknowledgement, he’s fantastic.
