1. I'd choose "Chicago"
But then again, *I* liked "Chicago" a lot. :-)

Just throwing in my .02 here.

16. oooooh.. do you have the 10th anniversary set?
If not, go get it.. they completely cleaned up the audio track, and the disc has tone of extras, including an animated clip of what happened inside the funeral home.. that clip alone is almost worth the $30.

She'll make you watch that movie then force you to bite the juju-bees so hard your jaws will stick togther. Then you'll have to go to the hospital to get them unstuck! :7

25. i love the" smells like teen spirit" scene in that movie..
the first time i saw that movie i saw it on a HUGE big screen tv hooked up to an elaborate stereo system while under the influence of something that makes one ((((happy)))).

many hate that movie and it's not my usually fare but that particular one amused me when i saw it. i guess i couldnt get over Ewan McGregor trying to sing!!

I'm an obsessive fan....

44. its what i prefer to watch (freaky stuff)
I usually dont like big hollywood mega blockbusters that others flock to. usually. a rule of thumb for me is, if it has subtitles I usually end up liking it.

Which of these movies haven't you seen?

18. Rewatch one of the last Star Wars episodes, to see if it was really as bad
as people say. However, I think you would do better for fighting boredom to watch something you've never seen before. Have you ever seen AI?

21. Yup I have seen AI, I liked that movie.
I would watch something I've never seen before, but I don't want to leave the house, PPV sucks, and theres nothing on any of the movie channels that sounds interesting. And besides, I love all those movies.. and I haven't watched any of them in a while. :D

24. Entertainment before the movie...you can't ask for more!
And judging from the poll results so far, you're going to be watching "Ghostbusters" :-)

32. One of my all time favorites :)
Then again, I'm just a Pixar junkie :) I've enjoyed everything they've done. They just get better with each film.

34. I was in the same quandary earlier, and I went through almost the
same list, except replace Moulin Rouge with Office Space, and drop the two Ghostbusters movies since I don't have them on DVD.

I ended up going with Office Space.

"What am I going to do with 40 subscriptions to Vibe?"

37. Pretty close to the same list, not identical, but quite a few of the same
ones. Now that I look you can also add Amelie to my list, but I wanted something that I didn't have to be planted in front of (to read subtitles), but that I could still listen to if I walked in the other room, etc.

Now that I'm digging, I can't find my copy of Monsters, Inc. I must have loaned it out :(.
