I am not into the fantasy genre but the DVD, Mr Magorium's Emporium appealed to me. The kids were impressed that I stayed awake for a whole film and comprehended the storyline without their assistance. Fortunately I had no idea what critics had said about the film so I had no expectations. The sleep test is the criteria I use whether the film will be on the favourites list.
Star Wars, James Bond, Wall-E ... I have nodded off in many popular films that did not grab me in the first few minutes.
I love Dustin Hoffman's work in Rain Man and now, Magorium. If I had to be eccentric, I would aspire to be like Mr Magorium. Other all time favourites ... To Kill A Mockingbird, Amazing Grace ... Bourne series ...
