You have great taste in movies! We have a lot of the same favorites, although I can't believe that Sideways isn't on the list. I mean, COME ON. Election, too.

The writer of The Book of Eli is on twitter and Google+. You should follow him. His name is Gary Whitta. Did you know that he's an atheist?

Unknown said...

Thank you. I haven't seen Sideways. For whatever reason Paul Giamatti annoys me lol. But I'll have to put it on my Netflix. I saw Election way back when, and while I love Reese Witherspoon I really don't remember much about it.

Love your list, all spectacular movies...Especially "300" and "Along Came Polly" --I may be biased since I am a huge Jennifer Aniston fan!
You should broaden this list to include a couple of Really funny kids movies! Even if you don't have any!
Try "Despicable Me" and "Elf". Happy New Year! LOVE the blog.

Unknown said...

Last of the Mohicans (1992)- Hawkeye: My father's people say that at the birth of the sun and of his brother the moon, their mother died. So the sun gave to the earth her body, from which was to spring all life. And he drew forth from her breast the stars, and the stars he threw into the night sky to remind him of her soul. So there's the Cameron's monument. My folks' too, I guess. (The soundtrack is amazing!)
