I'm jumping on the theft bandwagon again. I stalk all these people, but it's copied and pasted from Tina, who I stalk most often. [girlkissers] And frankly, I'm embarrassed at some of the movies I haven't seen. They're on my list. But I borrowed XXX from Emily, like, five months ago and still haven't watched it. Hey! Sometimes I'm just in the mood for a whatever-genre-XXX-falls-into-but-definitely-not-'good' movie.

[quoting Tina]Stolen (including preamble) from bettie, who stole it from The P@, who stole it from someone else. At what point does theft become homage?

[quoting Bettie] The list is from IMDB, and while I'm sure most of us have an opinion on the rankings (or the order of them), the point of this entry is to bold out the movies that you've seen. HTML ahoy!![/quote][/quote]

And this is stolen from bettie. I thought it was way cool. Lots of these I've merely driven through, because Dad's idea of a vacation was seeing how much driving you can get done in a day, while seeing as many Civil War battlefields as possible.
