Ok, I know you've probably had it here before, and I know you'll probably have it here again but I need to do some research for a new project I'm embarking on and so I thought I'd ask.

What is YOUR personal Top 20 list of films you've seen in your life?

I've got wayyy toooo many as I'm a mega movie buff, but off the top of my head right now mine would include, minus all the Speilberg ones which I love, (in no particular order)

Amelie
Dog Soldiers
Donnie Darko
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
The Matrix
The Italian Job
Bowling For Columbine
Shawshank Redemption
Silence Of The Lambs
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Blade
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Aladdin
Human Traffic
Spiderman
Monty Python And The Holy Grail
Pulp Fiction
Aliens
Moulin Rouge
The Usual Supsects

1.- Debbie Does Dallas
2.- Deep Throat
3.- Shaving Ryzn's Privates
4.- Flesh Gordon
5.- Anything with naked chicks in it

You get the idea :twisted:

Actually, I would have to say The Holy Trilogy (SW) is comfortably in spot 1, closely followed by anything with Al Pacino in it, all kinds of popcorn flicks. An honorable mention has to be made for "El Crimen Del Padre Amaro" (The Crime Of Father Amaro) Kick-ass Mexican flick about a young priest screwing the brains out of an impossibly good looking chick in a small town in Mexico (Most definitely NOT porn... it is a very well thought, masterfully directed story)

You know, it's funny. One person put "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" on their favorites list. That movie probably tops my "worst of" movies list.

What about "Wrath of Kahn?"

Personally I love ''From Dusk Till Dawn'' and ''Wrath of Kahn'' is my fave ST movie because it's the first one I saw with my dad when I was about 8.

There are scores of others that should have been mentioned, but these are the ones that pop up in my memory. We should be able to condense all five of the SW movies into on and thus, free up more space in the list.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
