Steel Magnolias Young Guns II The Money Pit Goodfellas The Godfather Boogie Nights A Night at the Roxbury Uncle Buck Animal House Rocky Wizard of Oz Pulp Fiction Arthur Of course, this list isn’t really in any particular order, except I have seen RHPS and Steel Magnolias more than any of the other ones.

All of Kevin Smith’s movies. _Trainspotting_ The _Bill & Ted_ movies. _Fight Club_ _Brazil_ The _Dolemite_ movies. _Monty Python & the Holy Grail_ _A Clockwork Orange_ The _Wayne’s World_ movies. _The Producers_ _Noises Off!_ _Being John Malkovich_ _High Fidelity_ _Big_ _Roxanne_ The _Indiana Jones_ movies (yeah, I know the first one doesn’t have the name in the title; but I still name it as one of them). And finally, name a horror flick, _any_ horror flick. If I don’t own it, I’ve still definitely seen it and can give you the run-down on it. It’s like a party trick with me. ---
