I found myself watching an old western on the television a few weeks ago on one of those rare days when the movie suited my mood perfectly. Of course, I wanted a drink, but not just a drink…. I wanted a drink that suited the mood I was in and the movie I was watching. I settled on a dusty Canadian Rye Whisky and settled down to watch my movie.
Afterwards I began to think about why I wanted a particular drink for that particular movie, and I realized that this actually happens to me quite often. For me movies are a ‘mood’ experience. I have to be in a certain mood to watch certain movies. Certain moods call for certain styles of drinks. So I began to put together a list of my favourite movies and thought about what I would like to drink while watching. I analyzed each movie briefly before selecting the appropriate cocktail for each. I came up with this list:
Some of my Favourite Movies (And What to Drink When Watching Them)
This is just Part 1, next month or thereabouts I will post Part 2 with five more movies.
Cheers!
