I have a short survey about movies, seeing as I don't see a lot of interesting questions in this section?
1. What directing style do you like better, a planned out, follow the script style, or a general outline of a movie and having the actors improvise their dialouge style?
2. What is your favorite Morgan Freeman movie, besides Shawshank Redemption?
3. If you could change the ending to any movie, what movie would it be and what would the ending be changed to?
4. What is your favorite movie that was based off of a book?
5. What movie have you watched the most times? How many times?
1 improvise
2 seven
3 100 days with mr. arrogant
4 LOTR
5 Resident evil 3 …about 7

1. Planned out
2. Million Dollar Baby, Driving Miss Daisy and The Bucket List. I love Morgan Freeman!
3. Roman Holiday. Princess Ann and Joe would be together.
4. To Kill a Mockingbird, The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind.
5. The Wizard of Oz. I don’t know how many times but definitely more than any other movie.

1. Results matter. If the actors are great and lead to somewhere interesting, I’m all for improvisation. But if you have a fantastic script and the actors follow it to the letter, I’m all for that too. Like I said, Results Matter.
2. Million Dollar Baby
3. Usually, I prefer uplifting, positive endings. But, the ending to "The Story of Us" with Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer always felt false to me, particularly in view of the fact that Willis was getting a divorce from Demi Moore at the time. It felt like eventually they would still wind up getting a divorce.
4. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Ironically, this movie has a very different tone than the short story. The story wasn’t leading to anywhere romantic. Which one you watch has a lot to do with it, and I saw the movie first. The love story is so uplifting that I didn’t want to see it as a human interest story later when I read it.
5. Probably The Godfather. no way to count. 100s. I watched it for the first time when I was 11. Blew my mind, and ensorceled it to the possibilites of movies ever since.

1. I like the kind of movie with a general framework for dialogue - that is, most of the lines are acted out how they are on the script, but with some improvised touches. I just like the dialogue to seem natural, much unlike that Twilight rubbish. Worst dialogue of all time.
2. Seven, probably.
3. Oh I don’t really know. I’m not a cinema connoisseur (Though I wholeheartedly wish I was) by any means, but I suppose every ending to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies were awful. They were all meant to be tie-ins to the next inevitable sequel. A good movie stands on it’s own without the anticipation of a follow up.
4. This one is tough. If we are speaking in terms of how much I love the adaptation of a book to it’s movie, then I’d definitely say Empire of the Sun. If we are speaking of a movie that is even just loosely based off of a book, then it’d be between the Harry Potter series and Children of Men. Children of Men is so good. Very different from the book, but excellent. Graphic novel wise…V for Vendetta is also very good, with some major discrepancies.
5. I watch certain movies over and over and over. I have the dialogue of many movies mastered to an art. Fiddler on the Roof, The Philadelphia Story, Polar Express, V for Vendetta, Empire of the Sun, almost all of the Lord of the Rings movies, Little Women….
The list goes on and on. I love a great number of movies and have the ability to watch them into exhaustion.
Though, I think the one I have watched the most would be The Polar Express.

1. Honestly, a little of both. I like for movies to have a planned script, but sometimes improvisations are the funniest/most interesting lines in the movies, to be honest. So, I think the actors should be given a little breathing room, but still stick to the script.
2. Even though he wasn’t a main role in this, it’d have to be Batman Begins. Or The Dark Knight. Take your pick.
3. I would change the ending of Phantom of the Opera. I would make it so that Christine chooses the Phantom, rather than Raoul. =(
4. The Harry Potter films… mainly the first and second films. The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets were both very true to their respective books, and the imagery was fantastic. Also, the characters were flawlessly cast.
5. Wow, this is a tough question to answer… Probably The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s my fave go-to movie when I’m feeling stressed or upset. =)

1-Hard to say both can work well if they are good actors then maybe planned out if they are quirky or comedic style actors then improvised
2-Driving Ms Daisy(Haha) No Kiss the Girls or Million Dollar Baby
3-The Men Who Stare at Goats - It’s kinda stupid.
4-Shawshank is good coz I read that some years before it was a movie but maybe I’m saying that because the book is better same with Interview with the Vampire.
5-There’s a few - Boyz n the Hood, Point Break, The Goonies maybe Carlito’s Way
The first two over 1/2 a dozen times.
?D
