Damage Control

Ahoy people

Just like the subject reads...I'm curious what everyone's favorite movies are. Mostly I'm wonderin what people's tastes are around here. Whether you think it was the most moving film you've seen, or made you piss yourself from laughing, or just freaked you the hell out

Doesn't matter how long your list is or anything. All I ask is no suggesting something like: "Awmg 'Into the Blue' cause Jessica Alba in a bathing suit gets me hard LOLOLOLZ!11!1!1! "

And for you ex-Fisties...yes I did ask this in our old forums <_< but I didn't get to watch all the movies before the boards got wiped! /flop

And also...come back Cel You damn hoser At this rate you won't be invited to my party this summer!

That's a fairly gay list. Fight Club looks like a forced red herring.

Although I'll admit I did really enjoy Serendipity, especially in that they tied the whole thing to a Gabriel Garcia Marquez book (who is with no doubt whatsoever my favorite author ever.)
