I wasn’t tagged by SamuraiFrog<\/a> to participate in the Alphabet Movie Meme, but you know me and memes…<\/p>\n

Here are the rules:<\/p>\n

1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Return of the Jedi<\/i> belongs under “R,” not “S” as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi<\/i>. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars<\/i> trilogy; all that followed start with “S.” Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/i> belongs under “R,” not “I” as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/i>. Conversely, all films in the Lord of the Rings<\/i> series belong under “L” and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia<\/i> 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 judgement to apply the above rule to any series\/films not mentioned.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number’s word. 12 Monkeys<\/i> would be filed under “T.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that I can eventually type “alphabet meme” into Google and come up #1, then make a post where I declare that I am the King of Google.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[Update:<\/b> Doh! I forgot to link back to Blog Cabins<\/a> as requested. If any of my taggees happen to amble by, I hope you’ll see this and modify your posts accordingly… Sorry, BC!]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. If you’re selected, you have to then select 5 more people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, for the sake of this little exercise I am going to do my best to choose titles you may not expect from me, given my usual obsessions on this blog. Which means, no Star Wars<\/i> and no Indiana Jones<\/i>-related titles. I will, in fact, try to avoid the Lucas-Spielberg ouevre. Just for the sake of variety, of course…<\/p>\n
