Dragons and movies and even a dragon movie

63. Dragonlance - Dragons of Autumn Twilight
You know, I watched better animated television series when I was a little kid.

64. Les Soeurs Brontë
There is something jarring about watching what is for all intents and purposes an English period piece, when every time someone opens their mouth, they speak French. Apart from that, it's pretty interesting.

65. The Purple Rose of Cairo
Ah. So, this is the movie every fangirl writing stories about Jack Sparrow suddenly stepping out of the movie and romancing them? Mind you, while it's mostly funny, then there is something sadistic about the end.

66. Topsy-Turvy
It takes a bit to get going, but it's worth watching for the details alone.

67. D.E.B.S.
What happens when the evil genius falls for the hero and the hero falls right back (so, sort of like Smallville fanfic, really - well, except I'm fairly sure most Smallville fanfic doesn't have quite as many lesbian schoolgirls...)

68. Brideshead Revisited
Not as good as I had hoped - and there is something about the character Sebastian that puts my teeth on edge. Can't quite put my finger on it, but he annoys me...

69. Europa
Very gloomy. Of course, considering the subject...

70. D-War
It's fun to watch a mystical Korean dragon army to beat up the American army in downtown LA, but I can't really forgive the movie that the plot is mostly about two dragons - one evil and one "good" - fighting over which one of them gets to eat a young woman, body and soul. Mind you, the CGI Asian style dragon at the end is very pretty.

71. Rupan sansei - Babiron no Ogon densetsu (Lupin III - the Gold of Babylon)
Maybe when I was five. Maybe not.

72. The Jane Austen Book Club
Books, books, books, library, books, books, libary, books. Sorry, was there plot somewhere. My favourite was actually the science fiction fan who is willing to give Jane Austen a chance. On the other hand, the woman he is supposed to be falling in love with annoys me, with her way of claiming that science fiction is crap, even though she has never bothered to even tried to read any.

73. Victor / Victoria
Oh, this is great. Why didn't I watch this long ago? Toddy is such a snarky old queen. Two small problems, though. First, the final show-number, with Toddy in drag - it annoys me. It seems, I don't know... Second, I think the whole plot with guy-falling-for-what-he-thinks-was-a-guy was done better in the Casanova mini-series with David Tennant. At least Casanova hadn't spied on his eunuch in the bath to make sure he was actually a she before gathering the courage to court her/him/it. It actually undermines the story, IMHO. But apart from those two points, then it's an excellent and very funny movie.
