never judge a book by its movie. -- j.w. eagan

I really do love films. I've been told that you can tell a lot about a person by the kinds of films they like. I don't know about that, but I do know that if you can tell me that your favourite film is "Dude, Where's My Car?" without cracking up afterwards, we might not be a good match.
In the spirit of being lazy but adding content to my site anyway, I thought I would save myself the trouble of actually being creative and instead make some lists of films I enjoyed. I reserve the right to change, add or delete items on this list without notice. So there.
