    Tonight, for my viewing pleasure, I'm watching the three greatest movies of all time. Oh, yeah, and I'm drinking. :blush:

    Highlander
    Beerfest
    Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobbie

    I don't think this really excuses you from talking like a fangirl.

    I object to Beerfest, it wasn't as funny as Super Troopers.

    Haven't seen it yet. :shrug:

    I've seen it a number of times and I don't find it as funny as I thought I would. Initially, I felt the same way about Anchorman, but I find that the more I watch that movie, the funnier it gets.

    I'm very curious how Walk Hard will be. :unsure:

    In the immortal words of Lewis Grizzard, I refuse to watch Gone With the Wind again until they play it backwards and it comes out right.

    If you want a depressing night, watch Prince of Darkness, The Thing, and In the Mouth of Madness back to back. I think John refers to them as his "apocalypse" trilogy. Good movies all, but not exactly feel-good fare like say, Dawn of the Dead is.

    It Sucks!!!!!!!!

    Best Film is in this order: Battle of Britain, Blues Brothers, Dr Strangelove.

    If you say otherwise you are a hippie who wants his hair beaded!

    In the past 2 days, I've watched:

    Die Hard
    Die Hard 2
    Die Hard With a Vengence

    The first two ought to top the list of great Christmas movies, IMHO.

    I love Talladega Nights:

    Bobby: You mean like in Highlander?
    Frenchy: What is this Highlander?
    Bobby: It won an award... for best movie ever.

    Turn off the phone, lock the doors, and break out the Depends. It's time for the extended versions of the LotR trilogy in one sitting. :cool:

    Why, yes, I have it on DVD as a matter of fact. One of my all-time favorite films. :techman:

    When I was a kid, I saw it in the theater with my Dad.

    Is it just me or did anyone else hear a Nicholson-like quality in the delivery of some of the lines? :j:
