I have always found that you can tell the most about someone by their movie taste. Here are a few of mine.

Lord of the rings
Shawshank redemption
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Back to the future
Psycho
Willy wonka and the chocolate factory (gene wilder not crappy johnny depp)
The shining
Legends of the fall

1969s "The Lion in Winter", starring (in my opinion) the greatest actor and actress of all time, Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn. With a young British upstart in his first film role - let me see, now; what was his name - oh, yes - Anthony Hopkins.

I read a lot of serious material and have recently realized that allowing myself to relax and watch a movie with no real redeeming value is fine. It took far too long to get to that point.

I saw it in college. it was just a bunch of college kids in a scruffy little theater near campus. Everybody was sharing joints and trying to "get" all the deeper philosophical points of the move. To say it was a trip and a half would be a HUGE understatement.It wasn't just a movie. It was an EXPERIENCE.
