Okay, there's this meme going around about movies and while I wasn't tagged I loved the idea. I can't do the explanation any better than sea of green so I'm cutting and pasting what she said...

"Fletch at Blog Cabins tagged Adam at Movie Chunks, who then tagged Rab at Estoreal with a meme asking people to list their favorite movies, A to Z. Rab posted his list and then sent out a plea for meme-tag volunteers -- so I decided, what the heck, I'll join in the fun. My list is posted at the end of this article. If anyone else would like to volunteer and post their own lists on their blogs, here are Fletch's rules:

"Pick your favorite film for each letter of the alphabet. Some will be tough because there are too many choices (R, S, T, L, N, E...), and others will be tough because there are so few choices that you have trouble finding much of anything (Q, anyone?). I'm sure I missed some great ones and I'm hoping that you find them.

1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.

2. The letter 'A' and the word 'The' do not count as the beginning of a film's title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don't know of any films with those titles.

3. Return of the Jedi belongs under 'R,' not 'S,' as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars trilogy; all that followed start with 'S.' Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs under 'R,' not 'I,' as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Conversely, all films in the Lord of the Rings series belong under 'L,' and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia series belong under 'C,' as that's what those filmmakers called their films from the start. In other words, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release. Use your better judgment to apply the above rule to any series/films not mentioned.

4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number's word. So, 12 Monkeys would be filed under 'T.'

5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that [Fletch] can eventually type 'alphabet meme' into Google and come up #1, then make a post where [Fletch] declares that [he is] the King of Google.

6. If you're selected, you have to then select 5 more people.""

So here goes!

A is for Adam And Steve
B is for Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss
C is for Constantine.
D is for Dogma
E is for East Side Story
F is for Fantastic Four
G is for Girl Next Door
H is for The Houseboy
I is for It's My Party
J is for Jeffrey
K is for Kiss Me, Guido
L is for Latter Days
M is for The Mudge Boy
N is for The Next Best Thing
O is for Opposite Of Sex
P is for PS Your Cat Is Dead
Q is for Queerduck: The Movie
R is for Regular Guys
S is for Saved!
T is for Trick
U is for Under One Roof
V is for Velvet Goldmine
W is for The Wedding Banquet
X is for Xanadu
Y is for Yossi & Jagger
Z is for Zorro, The Gay Blade

Extra karma points if you guess a common theme between most of the entries on my list...

Yay! Thanks for volunteering a list, Baal. :-) And, gee, what theme could you possibly be referring to? ;-)
