CLERKS one of the most anti-customer movies ever. Forrest Gump, the matrix, SLC PUNK i just finished watching that it was hilarious totally about subcultures and stuff more deep and though provoking then you would think. Uh...welcome to the dollhouse, the children of the corn sixogy, friday the 13th (any of them), halloweens, any of the national lampoons w/ chevy chase and any and all sci-fi movies i've rented or horror films. Actually I rant a little about hollywood video and blockbustes video "collection" HERE.

My favorite movie, all times, would have to be Dead Poets Society. I'm in love with that film. Other good ones are Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, The Doors ((yeah, I like Oliver Stone)), Gilbert Grape...

On the more recent side, the best movie I've seen the last six months or so, is Girl, Interrupted. Thought it was marvellous.

The worst one I've seen? Cruel Intentions just ain't good.

The first movie that comes to mind is The Usual Suspects.I LOVED that movie!Kevin Spacey is the most talanted actor working at the moment.Trying to figure out who Keyser Soze is and the twist ending makes for an AWESOME movie.I also loved the Godfather parts 1 and 2..Got to say Gone With The Wind,classic.Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable were amazing.I also still sob when I watch Kathy die in Heathcliffs arms in Wuthering Heights.The sound quality is terrible but I could watch Laurence Olivier clean his shoes.What a beautiful man!Also,the Green Mile was wonderful.It is rare when you get a good adaptation of a book and this was right on.Very moving story.John Coffee really got to me!

Okay, to start off, I have to list some Kevin Spacey movies because I absolutely adore the man and would probably pay to watch him read the side of a cereal box on film. So..."The Usual Suspects," "American Beauty," and "The Negotiator" are a few of my favorite Spacey movies.

Hmm...let's see...of course there are the "classics" like "The Breakfast Club," "Sixteen Candles," "Dead Poet's Society" and "Dirty Dancing." And then there are the big box office hits that I always feel like a lemming for listing among my favorites--"Pretty Woman" and "Titanic." I could also never get tired of watching "Patch Adams," "With Honors," "Circle of Friends," "G.I. Jane," "Never Been Kissed," "Interview with the Vampire," "Varsity Blues," "Practical Magic," "Forces of Nature" and "Wild Things." And I'll generally watch any Disney animated feature (favorites are "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid"), and anything starring Drew Barrymore, Jim Carrey (except "The Cable Guy"--yecch!), Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, or Richard Gere.

Movies I have yet to see the point in: "The Blair Witch Project" (am I the only one who didn't think it was scary and/or brilliant?), "Cops and Robbersons" (the movie I am most ashamed to admit I paid to see), "The Bridges of Madison County," and "The English Patient."

Yes, I'm a movie junkie. So sue me. :)

It's all about Mallrats, Baby! (or any other Kevin Smith film for that matter :) )

The last great movie I watched was Down to you (yes yes the teen romance flick with Freddie Prinze jr.) Yay.
