Michael's favorite movies, actors, etc.

i forgot about this thread :) i just updated the list with a few more. any others?
 
The Sound Of Music its how he came to work with Charmian Carr to design some of his clothes heres an interview with her, there is a much better one in the documentary After They Were Famous: The Sound Of Music where she talks for longer about him and his opinion of the film but I can't find it.

 
Aw that's cute. I love the sound of music. Added it to the list!
 
I thought of two more movies. How about sling blade and monster's ball? I know he loved the movie sling blade. I would love to know if he saw the movie monster's ball. It's staring Halle berry and billy bob, the same guy who stared in sling blade.
 
The movies he loved is countless... He was simply a huge movie buff. There has to be dozens and dozens of film that he loved and never mentioned because no one would know them and/or (*cough *cough) barrowed ideas from them...
 
cowboy movies

Jermaine said in an interview once that when they were in Gary Indiana, the brothers would watch westerns, but didn't mention any specific titles.
 
Remember Back To The Future. Beat It is used in Part II and in Part III Marty does a moonwalk.

However, I gotta say, when MJ is discussing his favourite singers and actors, he doesn't come across as sincere. It's as though he thinks he's expected to like the classics, so he's rehearsed a list he can simply reel off when asked (ie Gone With The Wind or whatever).

I dare say he only said he liked the Simpsons because it was popular.
 
Looking at who he befriended, it's clear he liked the old Hollywood legends.

As a movie fan, I bet he loved the opportunity to meet all these stars of the 1940's etc

Woah, what is the source that says Michael liked The Dark Knight? 😮 I like that movie too, it was released just after Heath Ledger’s death. 2008 was a surreal time (particularely in pop culture) and I consider it cool Michael went to see it.

Did you know that Michael Jackson was a massive Wizard of Oz fan? His fascination with the classic film may have been sparked when he played the Scarecrow in The Wiz back in 1978, his very first feature film role.
Michael’s love for all things Oz was so deep that he once tried to purchase one of the movie’s most iconic props: the Wicked Witch of the West’s hourglass. This is the very piece that ominously ticked down Dorothy’s remaining time in the story.
