Alphabet Movie Meme
By Brian | November 11, 2008 | Share on Facebook
Jason got me again. That’s what I get for not ducking…
The rules:
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 judgement 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. 12 Monkeys would be filed under “T.”
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.
6. If you’re selected, you have to then select 5 more people.
Here’s Step #1-#4:
- Apollo 13
- Back to the Future
- Cars
- Dead Poets Society
- E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
- Finding Nemo
- Good Will Hunting
- Happy Feet (because picking a Harry Potter film is too easy…)
- Independence Day
- Juno (because I was watching it on cable late last night…)
- King Kong
- Lethal Weapon
- Men in Black
- National Treasure
- Ocean’s Eleven
- Pretty Woman
- Q: The Movie (only movie on the list I haven’t seen. Someone’s gotta make some more “Q” movies)
- Rocky
- Shakespeare in Love
- There’s Something About Mary
- Unbreakable
- Van Helsing
- Wedding Crashers
- X-Men
- You’ve Got Mail
- Zapped! (because I couldn’t think of a “Z” and then Scott Baio popped into my head)
Step #5 is taken care of above.
Step #6 is always a problem for me. I simply don’t know 5 bloggers well enough to tag them with memes (especially when the meme comes from one or more of the bloggers I do know. So I’ll unceremoniously tag Jeff Porten, and leave it at that.

I’m about a week behind on three different Obama posts, so it might be a while before I respond to this tag….
