ten things i’ve learned from some of my favourite movies



Dead Poets Society – Carpe Diem! Seize the day! And one day I fully intend to do exactly that. There are just a few things to get in order first, then I’ll be YAWPING over the rooftops of the world with the best of them.

Arlington Road – Conspiracy abounds! “Trust no one” might be a little strong, but I think it wise to maintain a healthy awareness of what you’re getting into, and with whom.

Field of Dreams – Maybe the voices you hear have something valuable to say.

The Fisher King – Sometimes, the voices are all about a girl.

High Fidelity – If all else fails, make a list.

Finding Forrester - Sometimes, no matter how big they are, you can beat the odds.

Phenomenon – Not only can you sometimes beat the odds, every now and then the Universe opens up and gives you the opportunity to be what you truly can be.

12 Monkeys – But then, no matter how real it seems, perhaps it’s not, and what is real is that we are all lunatics locked in our own psychoses eating spiders, travelling through time, and pulling our own teeth out.

Back to the Future – No matter how much you may wish it, you can’t go back – or forward – and change the mistakes you made. Or can you?

Enemy of the State – Sooner or later the Government will screw you.
