Explaination re: American History X for Ross. I agree it’s a fantastic film! The acting is superb, it’s compelling, believeable, scary, etc. The reason I wish I’d not seen it was the whole curb scene. . Did not need to have that image in my mind, then, now, or ever - it was too brutal.
Marina - you have to see The Good, The Bad and the Ugly! It is so amazing.
Dave - great choice with Christian Bale being one to see a film for! I believe he is one of the greats of our time.

Also throw in Steven Zahn who always brings MORE to a film.
Ahh, two reasons to see RESCUE DAWN for those that have been slacking…it’s on DVD now.

Miller’s Crossing
The Professional (Léon)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I suck at movie quotes. I just don’t have the mind for them.
See the movie quote thing above. Same goes for lyrics.
None that I can think of.
Aachi & Ssipak (just for fun)
Tae Guk Gi (I just bought it)
Frank Sinatra
A bunch of times, I probably saw about 1 a year. Don’t remember what though now.
City of God and Sweet Hereafter
No
I get teary eyed but have never cried.
Yup, but with no butter.
Approximately once a week.
Enchanted
Probably crime flicks.
Star Wars
There are none. Even if I didn’t like the movie I’m still glad I saw them.
