Discdish.com Asks Mothers Their Favorite Films
Surprise! Moms like action and war movies too
AUSTIN, TX, May 07, 2011 /Movies and Video PR News/ -- With Mother's Day on Sunday, the editors of DVD and Blu-ray website DiscDish.com didn't want to celebrate by guessing which films mothers might like best. Instead, they're asking mothers what they really like to watch — and so far, the films have some surprises.
Nine DiscDish.com writers asked their mothers to reveal their three favorite films and explain why. Interestingly, all the moms chose different movies. As expected, many of the moms picked romantic comedies, such as 1999's "Notting Hill" and 1942's "Once Upon a Honeymoon," and romance films, including 1965's sweeping epic "Doctor Zhivago" and 1987's "Dirty Dancing."
But whereas action films and war movies are usually reserved for Father's Day, DiscDish.com found them in the favorite movie lists of their Moms. For example:
• Action film "Goldfinger" (1964), with Sean Connery playing the handsome British secret agent
• Crime movie "Dirty Harry" (1971), with Clint Eastwood getting the bad guys with a curious smile and a big gun
• World War II drama "Edge of Darkness" (1943), in which a village in Norway takes on the Nazis
• Fantasy "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" (2001-2003), Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's books
DiscDish.com is asking all mothers to stop by and share their favorite films.
DiscDish.com's Mother's Day list is part of the column called Today's Special, in keeping with the website's movie diner theme. In Today's Special, the DiscDish.com editors dish on the latest in pop culture, with a DVD and Blu-ray spin.
