5 Fav

 

 

The My Odd Sock Consumer Research Department is conducting a highly sophisticated poll.

Your participation is greatly encouraged as the results will be tabulated, analyzed and then immediately stored (thrown into) in one of several, secure My Odd Sock “information receptacles.”

 

 

OK, enough of the nonsense.  (Isn’t everything about this website nonsense?)

I want to know your “5 Fav” movies.  Not the 5 best movies ever made.  Your 5 absolute, must-see, can’t miss, stop what your are doing, hold all calls, bladder-busting movies!

The 5 movies you have seen a million times–but still watch them (even a little bit) when they are on.

To get you started, here are the official My Odd Sock “5 Fav” movies in no particular order…..

 

 

The Wizard of Oz–   It was always a childhood tradition to watch this flick and be frightened out of your gourd with those damn flying monkeys!

Today, the movie is so relatable to my MS as I feel as stiff as the rusty Tinman and I fall as often as the Scarecrow!

 

 

 

Forrest Gump–   Just an awesome film that takes you through a range of emotions.  Tom Hanks is probably my favorite actor as he could make a movie about brushing his teeth I would go.  (Some may describe this behavior as a “man crush”–but I like to think of it as an admiration of his talent.)  My kids & I often quote lines from the movie….”Shrimp Scampi, Shrimp salad, fried shrimp.”

 

 

 

Napoleon Dynamite–   This low-budget pic became a sensation among teens & young adults some 6-10 years ago.  Napoleon Dynamite makes the “5 Fav” list because of a dead-on depiction of high school.  Quirky, mouth-breathing, awkwardness fits right into my formative years!  Again, here is another movie where lines are repeated by my family during conversation.

 

 

The Jerk–   Steve Martin’s first movie may well be my favorite movie ever!  It is so stupid–it’s funny.  A rags to riches to rags story that I can’t get enough of!  (Remember, the “5 Fav” list doesn’t have to be great movies—just ones you enjoy!)

 

 

 

 

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly–   Give me a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western and you’ll have me at the first spoken word in the film—which in spaghetti westerns is usually about five minutes into the picture!  I love this movie genre because the other characters are so believable–dusty, weathered, toothless types that remind me of my hometown.
