I got tagged by Adam at Movie Chunks with this meme, begun by one Fletch at Blog Cabins. You name one movie for every letter of the alphabet.
Here are the rules:
1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.
2. The letter "A" and the word "The" do not count as the beginning of a film's title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don't know of any films with those titles.
3. Return of the Jedi belongs under "R," not "S" as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars trilogy; all that followed start with "S." Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs under "R," not "I" as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Conversely, all films in the LOTR series belong under "L" and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia series belong under "C," as that's what those filmmakers called their films from the start. In other words, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release. Use your better judgement to apply the above rule to any series/films not mentioned.
4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number's word. 12 Monkeys would be filed under "T."
5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that I can eventually type "alphabet meme" into Google and come up #1, then make a post where I declare that I am the King of Google.
6. If you're selected, you have to then select 5 more people.
Righty-O. These are the first movies that popped into my head for each letter.

Splendid list. I just started on mine, and I'll have my response up later Sunday after I get home from my cheese making class.
Thanks for the tag, I'd been thinking about stealing it from J.D.'s blog, but now I have a legitimate right to the meme, which is always nice.
Ms. Morehead: Impressive. Boy, would I love to see The Naked Nudist.
Bubs: Cool.
PJ: I know, I was going to steal it from JD, too, but I got tagged.
