Directive's cut

Ana is enchanted with WALL-E. She lives on a spaceship with EVE (a renamed snowman toy), boot and plant. Together, they are determined to carry out DIRECTIVE. Upon a mountain of very cute past contenders, it is in fact the very cutest thing she has ever done.

Coming down to the ground.

I am a WALL-ite too, having now watched the flick with her eleventy-hundred times. When I see WALL-E and EVE dance in space, propelled by a fire extinguisher, music and their own laughter, it strikes me as the most wonderful and romantic piece of cinema on record. And the film even features pizza plants - who doesn't want one of those?

Nothing compares to Ana's beloved robot, but these four come next in my mind:

1. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983). For the Anglo-American dinner party sketch (with no balls), featuring the Grim Reaper and fatal salmon mousse. 
2. Lilo and Stitch (2002). Because I essentially live with both a Lilo and a Stitch, which serves as a daily reminder that ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind (or forgotten). 
3. The Fifth Element (1997). Luc Besson, Mila Jovavich, a bunch of aliens and Bruce Willis. What's not to love? 
4. The Milagro Beanfield War (1988). About a magical lost corner of the world, featuring a pig called Lupita, and the notion that nobody would do nothing if they knew what they were in for.  

Clearly, with two kids movies in the list, I need to get out to the cinema more. Thanks to Kate Takes 5 (of television fame - congratulations) for another great listography idea.
