Finally got around to seeing this last week, and I’ve already watched it again. Wouldn’t call it my favorite movie of the year, but probably my favorite “romance” movie. I think the best point is that except for the very first scenes, everything is from Tom’s point of view, which changes as time goes on. And I think casting Zooey was a perfect choice as “an average girl that guys fall in love with” because despite all her flaws I am infatuated with her.
Note to self - watch The Graduate tonight. I’ve pieced it together from The Simpsons, Wayne’s World & American Pie, but never saw the real thing before.
Ditto. Going through the year, (500) Days still stands out as my favorite film (though “Inglorious Basterds” is close behind).
