monday movie meme




Play along with the Bumbles.


This week's movie topic is all about movies that feature making money, finding money, losing money, stealing money or spending money.


Of course my beloved Ocean's Eleven came to mind. I also thought of Confessions of a Shopaholic, even though the movie isn't nearly as good as the book. And Rat Race. Which I don't really remember.

I almost put Rat Race too, though I couldn't remember a lot about it either. Clearly I'm the only person in blogland who hasn't seen Ocean's Eleven, though it seems clear that I should by the number of lists it's on.

I haven't seen Rat Race or Confessions of a Shopaholic, but I did think of Ocean's Eleven - of course, I left it for you!

Speaking of lovely George and money-focused movies: Have you seen "Intolerable Cruelty"? It's a favorite of mine. A real homage to the classic screwball comedies.

George Clooney makes a good con, doesn't he? In a way, Michael Clayton could fit into this category. Poor George has to keep doing that crappy job, just for the money, right?

I love Becky Bloomwood so much that I haven't seen the Shopaholic movie.

Heh heh - I have that problem of not really remembering too. If I have to go review the plot on IMDB I usually leave it off our list and save it for someone else to pick who knows it well - or at least can fake it well enough ;0)
