    1) Best movie you've seen recently Saw Frozen over the weekend. It was really good. Very funny.
    2) Worst movie you've seen recently Daybreakers. My friend promised we'd enjoy it, but it was awful.
    3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie You've Got Mail, Beauty and the Beast. Both are my had-a-bad-day movies.
    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime I'm not sure. I'm not a movie buff. There are tons of movies I haven't seen that everyone has and loves. I pretty much watch to be entertained. Lots of Disney and romantic comedies. I guess I'd say everyone should have a favorite Disney movie.

    Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Confession: Yes. It's coming down this weekend! It's fake and I love the twinkle lights to be on at night while I read or watch TV.

  • 1) Best movie you've seen recently: Gravity was the most recent thing that I thought was good and would definitely recommend.

    2) Worst movie you've seen recently: Elysium.

    3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie: There are so many! The Cutting Edge is my favorite guilty pleasure, but She's All That is probably the guiltiest.

    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime: The Empire Strikes Back. Best romance film of all time!

  • 1) Best movie you've seen recently  I don't remember the last time I saw a movie!
    2) Worst movie you've seen recently See above
    3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie-Practical Magic, Hope Floats, Step-Brothers,
    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime -Hmmm, this is hard.  Maybe 'Everything is Illuminated'.  For some reason that movie really touched a nerve with me.

    Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Nope.  I took it down before New Years.

    2) Worst movie you've seen recently

    Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? Yes, but it's naked and I don't turn the lights on it. It's just a matter of not being lazy and taking it down now (it's fake)

  • 1) Best movie you've seen recently  I haven't been to a theater in ages, but I did catch this really great old Bette Davis on TMC not that long ago, but I don't remember the name of it.
    2) Worst movie you've seen recently  ???  I have no idea.  Maybe Breaking Dawn part 2 although I didn't watch the entire thing.
    3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie  So many.  Sixteen Candles; Office Space;  Anything Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; The Magnificent Seven; The King and I; The Lost Boys; Duel in the Sun; Mean Girls; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; 300; An Affair to Remember
    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime An Affair to Remember

    Bonus: If you put up a tree, is it still up? I still have one up in the gazebo.  I turned the timer off so it doesn't light up, but I haven't taken the tree down because I don't want to have to drag everything the 500 feet through the mounds of snow in order to get to the tree and then drag everything back through the snow to the house.  It is easier to wait for the thaw and take it down then.

  • 1) Best movie you've seen recently  Catching Fire
    2) Worst movie you've seen recently Sharknado. DH talked me into watching it on Netflix last week. He thought it was terribly bad in a funny way. I thought it was just awful.
    3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie: Happy Gilmore (or sometimes Billy Madison or perhaps Tommy Boy. One of those types).
    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime Fried Green Tomatoes. I totally agree with pp on this. I've probably seen this movie 100 times.

    ETA: Bonus.  I finally got mine down 4 days ago and it was driving me nuts! It's so time consuming to put up and take down and dh refuses to help me. We put it in the upstairs living room that we rarely use and I'm thinking next year I just might not bother with it.

  • 1) Best movie you've seen recently
    Love Actually (I'd never seen it before)

    2) Worst movie you've seen recently
    An American Crime (not a bad movie, but a difficult subject matter)

    3) Go-to guilty pleasure movie
    Dirty Dancing "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!"

    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime 
    Where the Day Takes You. I mention this movie to people all the time and NO ONE has ever heard of it. It has a long list of well-known actors in it, but somehow went unnoticed. It's about homeless kids. SO SO GOOD.

    Never put one up.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • 1) Best movie you've seen recently  Catching Fire probably

    1) Best - In theaters? I really adored The Book Thief. It was exceptionally beautiful. I also totally loved Despicable Me 2 that we rented last weekend.

    2) Worst - I don't make a habit of watching bad movies-unless it's to be hilarious. Like Sharknado. That ish is my jam.

    3) Guilty pleasure - I'm not very guilty about my love of Pitch Perfect, Pretty in Pink, or Stardust, but I should PROBABLY keep my undying love for Nacho Libre to myself. I also, RANDOMLY, like, LOVED Beautiful Creatures. Like, bought it when it came out. I haven't read them, but holy crap do I love that movie. I can't even really articulate why.

    4) Everyone should see - West Side Story

    BONUS:

    DH just told me that if keeping the tree up makes me smile, we're not taking it down. So, as of now, it shines each night and will continue to for the foreseeable future.

    4) Movie every human should see at some point in their lifetime This is a weird choice, but I would say Dave with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. So few people have heard of it, but it is my favorite movie of all time.
