Miss Piggy hates those. She hardly appears in those. She only says she "nailed" her first scene in the whole new "Muppet movie" with her eating donuts at the Paris Vogue office. She also says that her "Oscar worthy" scenes were left on the editing-room floor. She suspects of a Denise...

 

[Friend!Food! Oleson]

She hardly appears in those

You mean she only got 85 minutes screentime, instead of the full 90 minutes? That's outrageous!

You know, "outrageous" is her last name... :wink@

My top 10
7. Dirty Dancing

I love this movie too Jessie.
I debated for a long time with myself if I should add it or not. A few years ago I would have.
But well then Evita was not in my favorite top ten and I feel it should be now. So something had to go...

 

[Friend!Food! Oleson]

Jaws seems to be the most popular. Maybe I should give it another try (although I don't remember why I stopped watching).

You were scared @Willie Oleson admit it.

 

[Friend!Food! Oleson]

I must say...this looks pretty lame to me.

Water, boats, shark. It's not exactly the most unpredictable story.

 

[Karin Schill]

Hi Everyone,

Like promised here's the result of this round of the movie top ten. First I want to say that it was more work than I thought to calculate the points from all this. So kudos to @Ome for doing this all these years in the music section.

Then as for the results, like @Willie Oleson already assumed the most popular movie was:

Jaws (1975) .
This movie is actually an interesting movie in film history too as it's considered to be the first High Concept Movie ever.
A High Concept movie is any movie that can be summed up in: The Hook, The Book, The Look (and The Stars).
It was directed by Steven Spielberg and was one of his first commercial successes.

Enough Said.

You gave it a total of: 59 points

That's all for now. I'll return with something new for you to list tomorrow...

What's it gonna be?

You'll find out tomorrow.

 

[PsychoDrama]

Wow! That's quite some list. And a very worthy winner indeed.

Thanks for all your work on this one, Karin. I'm looking forward to the next round.

 

[Ome]

Thanks for all your work on this one, Karin

Yes, thanks Karin.

:thank:

Once you've done a few you will find your groove and it will get easier to tot up. This one was always going to be hard because it goes across every genre/actor/director.

 

[Karin Schill]

Okay here it goes, in round two of this Soap Chat Movies Top Ten I figured we'd list our favorites films by the director of your favorite movie...

Steven Allan Spielberg was born on 18th December, 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is an American director, producer and script writer. He began his career by making short Super 8 movies when he was still a teenager. Then in the 1970s he started directing different TV-series and then moved on to directing movies. His first commercial success was Jaws (1975). It’s been followed by many other successful movies. Spielberg is considered one of the most important directors in his generation. He has won 2 Oscars for directing.

But which is your favorite Spielberg movie?
Will it still be Jaws when all is said or done or will it be any other movie?

List your top ten. If you don't have ten movies, list as many as you can.

Totals on: Saturday.
