Alright, let’s yak about some movies, the ones that start with the letter “C”, you know? Like, them picture shows they play at the town square sometimes, though I mostly just watch the telly now, easier on these old bones.
Movies, Movies Everywhere!
First off, there’s this “Cinema Paradiso” thing. It’s about this fella, Salvatore, a big-shot movie maker. He goes back to his old home ’cause the fella who used to run the picture show there up and died. Sad, you know? Reminds me of old Mr. Johnson who used to fix the radios. Anyway, this Salvatore, he remembers all about the movies from when he was a young’un. Sounds kinda sweet, like them old candies we used to get at the store, the ones that stuck to your teeth.
- Thinkin’ about old movies makes me tired. Need to get my tea. Be right back…
Okay, I’m back. Where was I? Ah, yes, movies. Then there’s this “Citizen Kane“. This movie is about some rich fella, Charles Foster Kane. He’s got all the money in the world, but he ain’t happy. See, money ain’t everything. Like my old pappy used to say, “A good laugh is worth more than a pocket full of gold.” This Kane fella, he says one last word when he kicks the bucket, “Rosebud”. Makes you wonder, don’t it? What’s so important about a rosebud? Maybe he just really liked flowers. I like petunias myself.
Now, let’s see, there’s also “City Lights“. Heard it’s a real tearjerker, but my eyes ain’t what they used to be, so I cry at pretty much everything these days. Commercials, the news, even that weather guy sometimes. Anyways, “City Lights” is real old, from way back when. But folks say it’s good, real good. Like a good stew on a cold winter’s night.
Scary Stuff and More
And then, some movies start with “The” or “A” but still got that “C” in there somewhere. Like “Carrie“. That one’s a scary one, about a girl who ain’t treated right and she’s got some… powers, you know? Like she can move things with her mind. Reminds me of my niece, always could get what she wanted, just by batting those eyelashes. But Carrie, she uses her powers for… well, let’s just say it ain’t pretty. Not for the faint of heart, that one.
- Speaking of hearts, gotta take my pills. Getting old ain’t for sissies, let me tell ya.
There’s a whole bunch more, you know? Like a hundred of ‘em, maybe more. Some folks like making lists, keeps ‘em busy, I guess. They got “Casablanca,” that one’s supposed to be romantic, with all that smooching and whatnot. Then there’s “Casino Royale“, that’s one of them spy movies, with all the shootin’ and chasin’. Not really my cup of tea, too much noise.
So, there you have it. Movies starting with “C”. Some are good, some are scary, some make you cry, some make you think. Just like life, I reckon. Full of all sorts of things. Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for my nap. All this talk about movies has worn me out. And remember, don’t stay up too late watchin’ them picture shows, you need your rest!
More “C” Movies to Chew On
Oh, one last thing before I doze off. There’s a whole heap of other “C” movies folks keep jabbering about. Like “Coming to America,” that Eddie Murphy fella is a real hoot in that one. Makes me chuckle just thinking about it. And then there’s “Contact” with that Jodie Foster, a smart gal, she is. That one’s about aliens and space and all that stuff, makes your head spin. And for a bit of a fright, you got “Children of the Corn“, creepy kids and cornfields, no thank you! I prefer my corn on the cob, buttered and salted just right.
So yeah, the movies starting with “C,” they’re a mixed bag, just like a sack of potatoes. You got your good ones, your bad ones, and some that are just plain strange. But that’s what makes it interestin’, ain’t it? Now, I’m really gonna go nap. This old lady needs her beauty sleep.
