I missed them in the 70's dude, I was more concerned with kissing my first girlfriend. Sorry if I screwed your thread up, but in the last ten years, I could probably only give you five or six, and then I would be on teachers **** list again!

The House of Sand and Fog?? That movie made me depressed for three days, no kidding. It was great, but I never want to see it again. Too painful.
 
My top ten movies I've seen in the past ten years:

The Aviator
Kill Bill 2
Downfall
Passion of the Christ
Zoolander
Gangs of New York
Collaterial
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Snatch

Of course these are all just films from the past ten years. There are many older films that I like. I love the Superman films.

And then I find me mentioned twice. Can't we just all get along? So, cherokee, I guess you missed the one where my name shall be kept lowercase, I don't want to appear pompas.

No one escapes the **** list Deegan.

Don't worry about him?

Napolean Dynamite, huh? I've heard this is a good film, but after about the first 30 minutes, I thought..."Why am I watching this crap?" LOL

Should I reconsider and give it another chance?

Whenever someone I don't know well recommends a film to me, here's the question I always like to ask....

"Did you think 'Porky's' ( Police Academy, or what-have-you) was a good film?"

If they say yes, then I know not to bother seeing a film they recommend! LOL!
