Comfort Movie Series Vol.1
Ever have one of those days where everything just makes you want to curl up into a little ball of fluffy blankets on the couch with a box of cupcakes and your puppy-kitten? Well, if you are like me then you have a certain selection of movies that your drawn to in those kinds of moments for what I like to call – A comfort movie. I have quite a few comfort movies in my DVD collection and have been known to come home and watch one, quoting the whole way through, until my troubles are light-years away. I would figure that most people out there have at least one movie that they pop in when having a day from hell to laze away the stress so I have started a new Comfort Movie series that will be a once a month type thing. (And note, any feminine relation to the phrase “once a month” will get you pwned by yours truly – kisses, Jane).
July’s Comfort Movie: The Addams Family (1991)
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this movie (and it’s equally awesome sequel) after having a day where I fought to keep my sanity. Something about the sadistically loving family and their devilishly excellent mansion just puts my sick mind at ease. I can quote the entire film, and yes I will admit it. The cast couldn’t have been more perfect for a big screen adaptation of the 1960′s TV show, which to me surpassed my love for the show by far.
The dementedly romantic Gomez and Morticia played by the pale beautiful Anjelica Huston and beloved late Raul Julia really made the film incredible. I honestly don’t think any other Addams Family films should be made without Julia since he is the only Gomez that could ever fill the role on the big screen. This is also one of my favorite roles for both Christian Ricci and the hilarious Christopher Lloyd. Wednesday is probably every strange or goth girl’s idol at that age, or at least she was mine. Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“And our credo, “Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc” รณ “We gladly feast on those who would subdue us”. Not just pretty words.” -Morticia
“We danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled, we danced the Mamushka at Waterloo. We danced the Mamushka for Jack the Ripper, and now, Fester Addams, this Mamushka is for you.” – Gomez
“Is this made from real lemons?” – Girl Scout
“Yes.” – Wednesday
“I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives. Are you sure they’re real lemons?” – Girl Scout
“Yes.” – Pugsley
“Well, I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?” -Girl Scout
“Are they made from real Girl Scouts?” – Wednesday
“Don’t torture yourself, Gomez. That’s my job.” – Morticia
“I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss.” – Gomez
“I’m a homicidal maniac, they look just like everyone else.” – Wednesday
“It was just a party. It’s over. It means nothing. The Siamese twins, the hunchback, Cousin It, they’re not *you*.” – Fester
“Two, ten, eleven. Eyes, fingers, toes! “- Gomez
