I can't believe you forgot Die Hard. Have I taught you nothing?

Die Hard IS the best.Christmast.Movie of all time.

(No, this is not up for discussion)

Oh, I'm with you on Fried Green Tomatoes: near miss for an all-time fave. And I'd probably add "Beaches" to that, too.

And I forgot "Joy Luck Club". Not just a near-miss, but an outright omission from Best All-Time.

But Apollo 13? It's like a movie about the sun rising: you know how it's going to turn out even before the advertisement finishes...
But I guess it's good people like different things, or it'd be a boring world. Or "twisted", maybe, if everyone liked the same things as me...[grin]

Funny you should say that about Apollo 13, because I had to have my arm twisted to see it the first time for that very reason! But it's so well executed, and I'm an eternal sucker for that triumph over adversity stuff. {I love "Cool Runnings" for the same reason, but didn't want to embarass myself TOO much;D} Did you ever see "Life is Beautiful"? It's kinda' like being stabbed in the heart, but in a good way. Oh, & I almost forgot:
The Gods Must be Crazy ! and even Gods #2
