  2. I'm a little embarrased to say that I haven't seen many of the movies on your "best" list. Next up for me from your list: Casablanca. It's on my dvr, I just haven't gotten around to it.
    I want to see you guys make lists of what I call "train wreck movies" They're movies that no matter how terrible they may be, you have to stop and watch them any time you might flip past them on tv. I have several :)

  5. I have to admit that I am a movie Buff in my past but have been extrememly slack the last 6 years with 2 kids (5 & 6) so I am playing catch up on some of these! I have "dropped everything" to watch the Trois Colours. This is right up my alley with my recently found interest in international and indepepndent films the last couple of years!!! :) Great depth. Next will be Modern Times.. I love Charlie!!! :)
    HA! I thought i was the only one who liked Gilbert Grape.

    Mean Girls, eehh?

    A few of mine.... French Kiss, A Walk In The Clouds, Fiddler on the Roof, The Trouble With Harry, Life, IQ, and many on everyone else's lists.. i really could go on and on....
