Movie ProjectorLights....Camera.....Action.....Real Estate!

Life in real estate, what can you say?  It's a Wonderful Life!  We've worked On The Waterfront, we've looked out our Rear Window to find out the West Side Story!  We've been up until Midnight Cowboying a deal.  We've faced off with other agents over a High Noon deadline.  Our clients are getting The Best Years of Our Lives, we're experienced enough to avoid Double Indemnity and Apocalypse Now, although we've had a few deals Gone With The Wind over the years!

We've seen homes decorated like Casablanca, Chinatown, Nashville, Wuthering Heights and more.  Every showing is just like Forrest Gump said, you don't know WHAT you'll get!  A Place in the SunToy StoryThe Wild Bunch?  We've seen enough homes where The Deer Hunter lived!  And plenty more where the thermostat indicates Some Like It Hot!  Really, should we feel like we're crossing The Bridge on the River Kwai just to show a home?

In these Modern Times we've dealt with Giant egos.  Brokerages with Twelve Angry Men and Spartacus is their hero!  Who do they think they are, The Godfather?  We don't need Star Wars, we're working to avoid being Psycho or we'll be the One That Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!  Shut your Jaws with your Titanic opinions or you risk being on our Unforgiven list!

A hot property new to the market is like The Gold Rush, you don't want to be The Third Man!  Our buyers are The Searchers and hoping for Easy Rider.  They want to Do the Right Thing Bringing Up Baby, hoping the MLS write up is not Pulp Fiction and the listing agent's visuals aren't The Last Picture Show! All they want is a peaceful place for The Sound of Music, perhaps some Amadeus while the kids watch Snow White and The Seven Dwarves or Fantasia!

We'll work From Here to Eternity so our clients can be All Quiet on the Western Front! We Network to avoid a Rocky deal!

The stress of it all is giving me Vertigo, time for a glass of The French Connection and no Grapes of Wrath in this bottle!  Ahhh, to be An American in Paris!

And....Cut!!  Off to the editing room!

Paul, That's one we want to stay away from too!

Pat & Steve, I may come up short on the video criteria, there are some really creative folks with cameras running around in the Rain.  I had an idea along the Groundhog Day theme, but go to thinking that was a video I didn't want out for public consumption :)

Beth, Glad to give you a smile!

Bryan, Thanks!  I know you've had to read a LOT of posts in your Bananatude role, so means a lot :)

Sharon, Thanks!  Once I decided what to do and had the AFI list in front of me, the rest kind of fell together :)

Oh my God you took all the movie titles.  Now I'm going to have to do a foreign film and I can hardly speak English.

Liz, Still PLENTY left :)  We only took 1/2 of the AFI Top 100 and there are thousands more to play with without dipping into the foreign catalogue!

Dorie, It was a lot like doing a jigsaw puzzle, picking titles off the list and figuring out how to make them fit together :)

Charita, It was fun putting this one together for Roger's contest.  Hopefully a lot of people are procrastinating on creating their entries for him.

BLiz- loved it.  It took me a while to read this post because with every movie title I keep thinking of the movie!  This certainly was The Great Escape for me with all of my reading.  I really needed The Getaway too.   Bill, they don't call you The Cincinnati Kid for nothing!  You two have put so much time in your entry.  Geeze, I feel like The Blob because all I have to do is sit here and read these great entries.

Kathy, Loved that you continued the theme!  I was tempted to comment about the buyer with The Matrix, or how sometimes we have a Grand Canyon between the sellers and buyers, but The Thing is I tried to not be Footloose or Reckless with the rules, because that might give the judges The Big Chill!
