Another damned movie meme. Don't yell at me about it blame Beverly and Courtney.
This is a list compiled by Courtney because she didn't like the other list, said if watching those dull movies made her a buff she didn't want to be one. So this is more of the fluffy fun movies list. And you'll probably see that while I've caught a few arty flicks in my day I loves me some fluff films!
(Speaking of, may I also point you in the direction of my guilty pleasure movie post? It's very funny and has photos!)
I was thinking. Wouldn't it be neat to have a big collaborative list that everybody could contribute to? Listing their favorite movies - not so you can be considered a buff but so you can find out about some new movies that you might like. hmm.
Oh, before I get started I watched Gods and Monsters last night. It was good. A bit depressing. And very very quiet. Lots of ogling mostly nekkid Brendan Frasier and I don't even have to endure a bad jungle theme to get it. I've really only started to appreciate Ian McKellen in the last few years but I've always loved what he did in Cold Comfort Farm.

I like the Station Agent. My daughter uses her as the reason she wants to be a librarian.
