#1 and #5 are mine.

The fear of heights only bothers me when I'm connected to the ground somehow, such as tall buildings, ferris wheels, etc.

I can sit in the doorway of a helicopter flying high above a city and look straight down with no problem at all.

Go figure. ;-)

Honestly, one of the most anti-dentist movies ever.

Marathon Man was quite interesting in the aspect as well.

Ohh, Ohh!

Reaching in to a closet in a dark room!

I really want to see the new movie “Paranormal Activity”, but I know I would regret it for, oh, 2 or 3 years afterwards.
