I think I have to nominate "Cool Hand Luke" as one of the top 10 greatest
flicks of all time...superlative writing, exceptional acting on everyone's
part, some of the best music ever put to film, no special effects - just
great a great plot played out by great actors...

Yes, a very good movie. Not as good as spider man three mind you, but still
worthwhile. I remember dissecting this movie in class when I was 19. Great
conversation about flawed heros. Some days I wake up looking for the bandage
on my nose.

Well, yeah, like I said, I could go on and on. Though I have to say,
reluctantly, that I never liked "Rocky Horror." Not my cup o' tea. And I
never saw the Vampire one. The basic premise of vampires just always seemed
more silly than scary to me, so if it has "vampire" in the title, I probably
haven't seen it.

Ahhh, we all like different films for different reasons. Personally, for
life changers, movies don't do much for me. Me, I gotta laugh.... Give me
The Jerk, Without A Paddle, Amazon Women On The Moon, any Pink Panther,
Naked Gun, Zoolander, Superstar, Rocketman, The Reluctant Astronaut, Young
Frankenstein, Spinal Tap, Mr. Deeds, The Out of Towners, It's a Mad Mad Mad
Mad World, Cat Ballou, Pet Detective, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Trading
Places, The Russians Are Coming, Waiting For Guffman, Best in Show, A
Christmas Story (who could evr forget that lamp).
Don't shoot your eye out,
