sooo as any of you who know me well know, my history as a movie-watcher is completely shameful and there is an embarrassingly long list of culturally significant movies i've never seen. (to illustrate, i've never seen raiders of the lost ark, it took me 14 years to see forrest gump, and yet i managed to see stick it, a ridiculously awful movie

the baz luhrman r+j? REALLY? i gotta say, i wasn't terribly impressed by it.

I have never seen Forrest Gump. Or Gladiator. Or The Notebook.

Hell, I haven't really actually seen Titanic.

So, basically, I'm probably worse off than you . . .

That being said:

Dogma - Just in case you haven't. (It's sitting within my line of sight right now, hence it being the first on the list.)

American Psycho - Also sitting within my line of sight. I want to call it a slasher comedy . . . It's my favorite Christian Bale movie, anyway, and it made me decide that business cards are very funny indeed.

Hot Fuzz - My current favorite comedy. A smart-yet-ridiculous send-up of buddy movies and action films that somehow manages to be very loving to its source material while pointing out its unbelievable over-the-top-ness.

Donnie Darko - My favorite Jake Gyllenhaal film. Time travel, schizophrenia, Patrick Swayze as a sketchy inspirational speaker/preacher type, and a conversation about Smurf sex. What's not to love?

The Big Lebowski - I can't explain this one. Either you like it or you don't. But, hey, if made Jeff Bridges more

ok, so I'm home 4th of July weekend, you ARE coming to my house and we WILL watch Gladiator

you have no real choice in this.

Good to know. :)

I keep meaning to see it, but somehow it's never worked out.

[xkissedbyarosex]

oh it will happen! Especially since I haven't seen you in 8 thousand years and you kinda need to come live at my house and do fireworks and stuff.

ok, here goes:

Back to the Future 1-3

Indiana Jones 1-3

The Godfather 1-3 (think I might have made you watch the 1st one)

Domino

Man On Fire (not sure if you've seen it but OH MY GOD)

Chicken Little (full of adorable)

And I forget if you've seen the Tim Burton Batman's, but if you haven't, watch them immediately.

How did I forget to mention Back to the Future and The Godfather?! Granted, I haven't seen Godfathers 2 and 3 yet, but the first is excellent and I plan to see the others . . .
