jlhWho did the TV meme? I feel like I saw it on my flist but I can't remember who did it so I can grab the list.
From Entertainment Weekly's top 100 movies of the last 25 years. Go through their list, BOLD the ones you have seen, and underline the ones you own on video or DVD; put an asterisk next to the one you love. Italicize the ones you want to see. Note: I starred so many that I went back and put hearts next to the ones I OMG CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT.
♥1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03) (So the fandom thing keeps making me think I should read the books first, and let's face it, that's not going to happen. On top of that, not so much with the hero narrative blah blah blah, so I think I'm sitting this one out.)
