I forgot Vanilla Sky! Can we change the list number of movies to 10 1/2? 🙂

Jackbutter, how can I earn one more star?

Good list Twinkee--the movie you're thinking of by the way is Forrest Gump.

I've seen parts of Rocky but i get it confused with scenes from the numerous Rambo movies. And i'll eventually get around to seeing Apocolypse Now

A really good movie is by the master of comedy Mel Brooks, a remake of an old movie, To Be Or Not To Be, set in Hitler's Germany. Absolutely hilarious I recommend it to everyone.

I've never seen any of your movies, either Parallax. But I would be willing to bet you have good taste, so perhaps one of these days I'll give them a try.

As a side note, everyone freaks out and has a coronary when they find out I've never seen one full episode of the Simpsons, and I've never seen "Rocky" or "Independence Day".

sharing is fun. lol

I've seen everything on your list ays0n, but Star Wars: Return of The Jedi (actually I went to see that in a movie theater, if it's the one I'm thinking of I was fourteen or something at the time, anyway I was there with my first "serious" boyfriend, and we didn't do much watching of the movie. lol, don't worry, there were like three other people down at the front so we weren't disturbing anyone...but anyway, all I remember is loud music (thankfully) and sharing the seat with him. LOL!)...I also haven't seen Kingpin or Life as a House. Wanted to, though 🙂

Bella, good list!

Phoenix,thx! Have you been to see Quills?
Oh-it slipped my mind-but Minority Report is as revolutionary as Matrix.Spielberg has outdone himself,don't you think?

bella- I have seen Quills and it was an excellent movie. Almost surreal, especially interesting from a writer's standpoint.

And I love Minority Report, though not as much as Matrix. I'm going to have to read the original science fiction short story of it one of these days.
