WHAT is your favourite movie of all time? And nine other films that make your all-time Top 10 (not necessarily in order)?<\/strong> <\/p>\n I love Selena<\/em>, starring Jennifer Lopez as the late Latin music singer. I can relate to her life, and the person and the artist she was. <\/p>\n Other favourites have to be The Champ, The Bodyguard, The Others, The Sixth Sense, The Devil\u2019s Advocate, Forrest Gump, Ghost, Sleepless in Seattle <\/em>and The Shining<\/em>. <\/p>\n Some movies that you love to hate \u2013 and why?<\/strong> <\/p>\n One would be Diary of a Mad Black Woman<\/em>. It gets me angry at the thought of a marriage going so wrong and a husband treating his wife so badly. Yet at the same time I\u2019m intrigued and anxious to see her torment him a little \u2013 and get her life back. <\/p>\n Then there\u2019s Passion of the Christ<\/em>. It was just too vivid and brutal. It made me feel so guilty, yet I wanted to acknowledge how Jesus suffered for us. Just a little disturbing. <\/p>\n The first movie you recall seeing as a child \u2013 and what do you most remember about it?<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Karate Kid<\/em>. I remember how I wanted to do karate so badly, and thought Ralph Macchio could be my boyfriend as well. I think my love for things Italian was born then, too. <\/p>\n The three animated films most dear to your heart?<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Lion King <\/em>was an epic film in which evil is defeated by good\u2026 and it makes me feel very patriotic. <\/p>\n I also love Toy Story<\/em>. It reminds me of my late nephew, who loved it. <\/p>\n Then there\u2019s Shrek<\/em>. So funny, great characters and a good storyline. You\u2019ve got to love Shrek! <\/p>\n The one movie you will never see \u2013 and why?<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Exorcist<\/em>. Just sounds too disturbing to me, and I am not keen on the blasphemy <\/p>\n The film you would like to see remade \u2013 and why?<\/strong> <\/p>\n I would love The Thorn Birds<\/em>, which was a television series, to be made into a film. I love the story and the setting. <\/p>\n The one film all children should see at school? <\/strong> <\/p>\n Pay It Forward<\/em>. I like that Haley Joel Osment\u2019s character uses his school project as an opportunity to launch a goodwill movement. <\/p>\n Your favourite cinema scene?<\/strong> <\/p>\n It\u2019s from Liar, Liar<\/em> \u2013 the boardroom scene. It is hilarious and I laugh every time I see it. <\/p>\n Jim Carrey takes over a boardroom and tells everyone exactly what he thinks of them. <\/p>\n I love it because it highlights things we think of saying but don\u2019t. And I love the moment when Carrey takes a toupee off one of the director\u2019s heads and sticks it on a wall. <\/p>\n The movie that always makes you cry (and why)?<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Champ<\/em>. Little Ricky Schroder\u2019s face alone melts my heart. That movie is a guaranteed tear-jerker for me. <\/p>\n The sexiest of all big-screen stars<\/strong>? <\/p>\n Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Eva Mendez, Boris Kodjoe, Denzel Washington and Johnny Depp. <\/p>\n The most over-rated film personalities?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Keanu Reeves (he has an interesting look, but his acting skills are not great) and Megan Fox (famous for her looks, but I don\u2019t think she\u2019s talented). <\/p>\n The film you feel you should see, but haven\u2019t?<\/strong> <\/p>\n I love old Charlie Chaplin movies and I am a fan of Robert Downey jr, who did justice to playing him in Chaplin<\/em>. Because it is an old movie, I tend to forget about it. <\/p>\n The movie that most influenced you as a teenager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Fame <\/em>influenced me the most because I always longed to be at a school of arts. The film made me feel like I was part of it. The intro was, \u201cYou\u2019ve got big dreams, you want fame? Well, fame costs and right here is where you start pain and sweat!\u201d That resonated perfectly with me. <\/p>\n The most over-rated film of all time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Harry Potter films are just not my kind of movie. I just don\u2019t get them\u2026 and I don\u2019t want to try to either. <\/p>\n Film special effects that most stand out for you?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Those in Avatar<\/em>. <\/p>\n Greatest actor, actress, child star and director?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Haley Joel Osment and Clint Eastwood. <\/p>\n The film you have seen more than any other? <\/strong> <\/p>\n Selena.<\/em> <\/p>\n The most memorable of all screen villains? <\/strong> <\/p>\n Silence of the Lambs\u2019s <\/em>Hannibal the cannibal, played so well by Anthony Hopkins. <\/p>\n The best of all movie songs?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Unchained Melody<\/em> from Ghost<\/em>. It perfectly complimented the movie\u2026 a haunting song for a romantic, haunting movie. <\/p>\n The funniest film ever?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Liar<\/em>, Liar<\/em>. <\/p>\n The three most memorable movie musicals ever made?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Fame<\/em>. I wanted to be in it. <\/p>\n Grease<\/em>. I love Olivia Newton John and John Travolta\u2019s characters. <\/p>\n Dreamgirls<\/em>. I love the story, the music and the \u201crealness\u201d of the way they show the music industry. <\/p>\n The greatest love scene on the big screen?<\/strong> <\/p>\n From Ghost<\/em>, when Sam (Patrick Swayze) sits behind Molly (Demi Moore) at the pottery wheel, with Unchained Melody<\/em> playing. <\/p>\n The most frightening of all movie moments?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Virtually the whole of The Grudge.<\/em> <\/p>\n The movie quote you most enjoy? <\/strong> <\/p>\n It\u2019s from Scarface<\/em>: \u201cYou wanna play rough? Okay\u2026 say hello to my little friend!\u201d <\/p>\n It\u2019s a classic for me because Tony Montana (Al Pacino) is surrounded by many enemies, but remains arrogant and confident. <\/p>\n The last film you walked out of (and why)?<\/strong> <\/p>\n I have never done that. I choose my movies well. <\/p>\n The thing that most irritates you about cinemas?<\/strong> <\/p>\n When it\u2019s a hot day, and you dress accordingly, only to find the cinema is freezing! <\/p>\n Your favourite South African movie?<\/strong> <\/p>\n Sarafina<\/em>. As a teenager, I enjoyed the movie, but didn\u2019t understand it completely. I loved the drama, music and the performances by Leleti Khumalo and Whoopi Golberg. As I got older, I watched it again and had a new appreciation for the story of courage, loyalty and the spirit of South Africans in challenging times. I also gained respect for director Darrell James Roodt. <\/p>\n If a film could be made of your life, who would direct and who would play you (and why)?<\/strong> <\/p>\n John Singleton would direct it. I admire his work. I think he would \u201cget\u201d me. Kim Engelbrecht would play me. Having followed her work since Take 5<\/em>, we have some common characteristics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" INLSA Jae WHAT is your favourite movie of all time?
