I don't think I have ever watched the Burbs either...I think I have seen maybe bits and pieces of it.

This is really hard.

I can't pick 3.

Gone with the Wind is my all time favorite movie.

If it isn't from the 80's....some of my favorites are:

The Other Side of the Mountain
The Bad Seed
The Birds
Madame X
To Kill a Mockingbird
Cool Hand Luke
The Towering Inferno
The Poseidon Adventure
Old Yeller
The Incredible Journey
Where the Red Fern Grows
Jaws
Halloween
Saturday Night Fever

pettyfan & Mr Jack Burton,

I refrence The Burbs EVERY time someone doesn't agree with me on a petty subject and I just look down and kick my foot on the ground and walk away. Gotta Love It!

Isis,

noticed The Towering Inferno in your list, I don't know why, but when I was little that movie REALLY freaked me out.

But I guess the fear wasn't enough to keep me from fire. (I LOVE fire spinning!)

Noice, Noice, and Noice again ISIS. (Cool enough to get the typed version of a New York accent)

Well I spin with a staff. It's pretty much a staff that you put kevlar (I do belive) heads on each end, soak them in white gas, light them on fire, and pretty much play with it and spin it.
It's REALLY fun to do while at a drum circle or listening to like psychedelic rock.

But there are other ways to play with fire too. You should check it out. It's fun AND really great excersise.

Sorry TKO about the Notebook. I just saw "Nights in Rodanthe" too, and it wasn't what I had hoped for either. My friend that went with me...she said when we came out of the theater...that she just realized that she likes Nicholas Sparks's books way more than the movies they make them in to.

A friend of mine has a small part in the movie Contact.

The playing with fire thing...I might pass on...I don't want "Burning down the House"-to become my theme song. [Wink] [Big Grin]

I don't just like it, I love it. It is my favorite movie of all-time. I am a huge sci-fi buff and big time into UFOlogy. When this flick first came out, it blew me away.

I like sci-fi too. I loved the movie...wasn't crazy about a few parts, but overall it was great. I watch a lot of the shows on UFO's and all that. I was the kid at Space Camp...yes total science nerd, I went to Space Camp 6 times....and asked about UFO's and wanted to learn about them. I was certain they had some sort of evidence there.
