Oh Dear. Top Ten Movie Kisses

Well, from the looks of it, several misguided souls have ended up at our blog looking not for the most evil little girls of all time or for random movie quotes from said girls, but for the "top ten movie kisses of all time."

They start off typing words like "kisses" and "movies" and "top," and, depending on the order in which they type those words, end up either here at A Basket of Kisses or here. At neither site do they get the hoped-for references to Deborah Kerr getting sand in her naughty bits in
From Here to Eternity.
(I'm sorry, but that's what happens, even if you're Deborah Kerr. Sand in the naughty bits. GuarUNteed.)

***** 1/23 UPDATE: I give.
You can now access the Top Ten Movie Kisses by going here.******


INSTEAD, they end up watching Rupert Everett and James Wilby having at it in Maurice, wondering how the heck THAT beat out the final scene in When Harry Met Sally for Top Ten honors. (btw, it does, my friends. it does.) OR, they end up here at ABOK reading our list of the Top 10 movies for ultimate movie viewing weekend at our Sanitorium of Dreams. So, I was thinking that we should offer a biscuit to the misled masses who come here searching for the top ten movie kisses of all time. I was thinking that we should try to pick the top ten kisses from movies that we've already mentioned on the site. That would limit us to: The Bad Seed;
Beavis and Butthead Do America; Boogie Nights; The Children’s Hour; The Exorcist; Ice Castles; Mildred Pierce; The Miracle Worker; Now Voyager; Seven (What's in the BOX??)
Sunset Boulevard; Vanilla Sky; Whatever Happened to Baby Jane; Written on the Wind.

Within that framework, nominations, anyone?

and me... ME... ME!!!!!!!


Again, how do we not know about these things?
Actually (actually), I just read the reviews on netflix.com, and it doesn't sound very good (quelle suprise), and it's French-Canadian (Canadienne), which makes me suspicious. The French-Canadiennes do not make horror films. Do they?
Do they??

mikie's meme

Mikie tagged us to respond to a meme. Mikie says: "List 5 things that certain people (who are not deserving of being your friend anyway) may consider to be "totally lame," but you are, despite the possible stigma, totally proud of. Own it. Tag 5 others." Anyway, I'm bored as all get up and am learning to use this darn blackberry thingee so here goes, with the understanding that 90 percent of the things I enjoy are decidedly 'uncool.' To wit:

1. Paint Your Own Pottery stores.
2. Square Dancing
3. Picking useful things out of the curbside trash
4. Crafts.
5. Making little movies out of playdoh figures or out of stacy's children.

Ta da. Your turn.

HEADS begin to roll. HEADS!!!

Why have we never seen this?

Lucy Harbin (Joan Crawford) has been in an asylum for 20 years after axing her husband and his mistress during a crime of passion, witnessed by her young daughter, Carol. While trying to renew ties with Carol (Diane Baker), who is now a young woman about to be married, heads begin to roll again.
