The Birdman of Alcatraz

One of my favorite movies but my favorite actor... summed up by my avatar.  :thumbup:

Just finished watching I Am Legend - it was pretty good actually!  ;D

Well, maybe I'll move Carnival of Souls to "S" instead. :hmmmm:
Decided to use it for "O", as in "carnival Of souls". :bag: "S" seems to be a more common letter and "O" is not as busy.

That is one of the main reasons I am going in order! :P
I may have to do the same, just to avoid further troubles. Just, some letters have small selections and those don't always fit the mood :hmmmm:

Dragonfire

I don't think planning it out ahead of time would work for me that well either.  So far I'm doing ok...though I did make Disturbia U because I was going to watch Die Another Day too.

In each marathon I always have problems with the letter Q. The only movie that starts with Q that I haven't seen yet is Quills.

An alternative is Quest for Fire for which you also have to be in a certain mood for.

Then there is The Quiet, which I love, but I can't be always watching this!

I need to buy more movies for Q..

I found this too. But so far I am doing pretty good with it. I found I just wasn't in the mood for anything I had available to watch for the letter K. Then it occurred to me... I never checked the movies on On-Demand. Opening up my possibilities quite a bit. For all the letters!  :thumbup:

Well, I own:
Q - The Winged Serpent (Larry Cohen monster movie)
The Quick and the Dead (Sam Raimi western)
Quantum of Solace (Bond)

Then there is Quigley Down Under...
Although the last one is least likely to please you, I'd say.

KinkyCyborg

If you can find them I'd recommend any of these...

Q & A (Nolte)
Quick Change (Bill Murray comedy)
Quicksilver (Kevin Bacon)
The Quiet Earth (awesome!)
The Quiet Man (John Wayne)
Quintet (Paul Newman)

Rogmeister

Hmmm, I was also thinking of using Quills as my "Q" title...but I may instead go with the first of two westerns I have titled The Quick and the Dead which I haven't seen in 2 or 3 years.  I should look and see what other Q movies I have...I have the later Quick and the Dead also...plus The Quiet Man which I've already reviewed.

I am very limited for Q myself. I only have 4... 2 of which is horror.

- Queen of the Damned (Horror... can't watch)
- Quest for Camelot (Actually Britt's... but I can watch it)
- The Quick and the Dead
- Quicksilver Highway (Horror... can't watch)

So when the time comes I may have to look to see what is on On-Demand

I just checked On-Demand for titles starting with Q... of hundreds of movies... only 1! (Quigley Down Under) and that one won't be on there any longer after tomorrow. No way I will get to Q by tomorrow! :P
