[Wible's Nemesis]

What a bunch of pseudo-intellectual tripe.

"Oh, I only like Fellini's "middle" period. Look at me everyone! Blah blah blah."

I'm on to you, Wible. There is no escape.

My Top Ten - Meaning from Childhood to present and being films that I can watch over and over.

10. The Last Unicorn
9. A Christmas Story
8. 9 1/2 Weeks
7. The Lost Boys
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula
5. Shrek
4. Great Expectations
3. Fifth Element
2. The Counte of Monte Cristo
1. Dangerous Beauty

(Can you tell this list comes from a chick!?)

So for anyone out there who has not seen the incredible, period piece film "Dangerous Beauty", you're missing out on a beautiful experience. And hey guys, it's about a courtesan... in other words a prostitute. It's Scandalous!


I have to add that my favorite actor, by far, is Gary Oldman. He should have been nominated for and won several Oscars by now. Anyone out there agree with me?
