I think I mentioned Spaceballs. But that makes me think I mentioned several Mel Brooks movies, but I didn't mention Blazing Saddles. That is one of the funniest movies ever.

Are you a Tarrantino fan? http://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_Western_Django. Check out this one. Japanese western (a classic) with tarrantino in the opening scene. Apparentely this movie inspired him to do what he does. Great stuff

Jk, but seriously. I posted my list because I was tired of typing them. I could go all day too (TWSS).

I am starting to realize how much time I have spent in my life watching movies. But I don't play video games so I guess it is ok.
She not only said that, but she also told her sister about it later. I worked part time at a video store back in High school, and got free video rentals as part of the job.
