Agree with all the ones I have seen on your list...not a Jeff Bridges fan so missed his film.

Stay Safe !

I can’t believe that “The Lord of the Rings” is not in the list.

Mulholland Falls????????? Good God, man! I didn’t believe it was humanly possible, but even a nude Jennifer Connelly couldn’t save that movie! And that is saying A LOT!!! :)

Cool! More attempts to associate user names with favorite items (e.g. movies, songs, colors, foods, etc.)

All this information can be used to match up our user names with our postings under other names at other sites.

Or it could be a way to figure out our passwords.

Great job, though you really should spend enough time to make sure that your "must see" movie titles are spelled correctly.

And 'Phenomenon' should never be included in a list of "must see" movies.

Tombstone — the single greatest cinematic achievement in all the entire recorded history of the world!

And let’s not forget that cinematic masterpiece, Stomp The Yard!

Okay, that 2nd one was a joke.
