some of those I watched in class, some I watched years ago and barely remember.

Saving Private Ryan pissed me off. I am still angry about it.

just the whole plot. I don't want to ruin it in case anyone hasn't seen it yet and wants to.

ps- those of you who haven't seen it, don't. it's stupid.

Schindler's List and Silence of the Lambs are two of my favorites though.

Jeanie, Shawshank is my all time favorite movie. Followed by Clue, Unusual Suspects and Almost Famous. Tombstone is a close lead on there.

you know what movie I liked? Inglorious Basterds. the Holocaust and things related to it touch me deeply, so I tend to like movies about it. the boy in the striped pajamas was okay too.

I've seen 15 of them. I was surprised that my number was that high because I'm not a big movie person.
