So many of your answers made me grin, or nod or go 'Oh yeah!' (Hot Fuzz, Cary Grant, Strangers on a Train... so much more goodness!)

But this:
22. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?
Twice Upon a Time


BLISS! Made me want to track you down and hug you within an inch of your life. Maybe it's because this was one of those movies from my 'youth' that I loved silly, and that no one ever seems to know it and it's just so frustrating that when I quote it nobody gets it.

I wish Mr Lucas would remember that he, y'know, owns it and it could do with a release.

(I actually kind of hate Strangers on a Train. Total classic film, but I was forced to watch it approximately 800 times in college, because our film studies library was pathetically small, and it just kind of makes me cry.)

Oooh, it's been so long since I've seen Twice Upon a Time! I adore Lorenzo Music, and that's one of his best.

I realize that commenting on a post this old is borderline creepy, but OMG you've seen Twice Upon A Time

(And I see I'm not the only one to have this reaction. Heh.)

I would have thought I dreamt it, but there were articles in Starlog and everything.
