I have forced Mr vPetrin to watch 80's humor film "American Dreamer", both for its dream shopping trip sequence in Paris, as for it's other parts, that well, held an importance in my family growing up- quotes at the dinner table, etc. It's entirely stupid in the best way, but watching will help one understand me better. Another favorite is "horror flick" "AprilFoolsDay", which for some reason I love but is not especially scary. Alas, I also forced Mr. vPetrin to watch "Girls Just want to Fun" with young Miss Helen Hunt & Sarah Jessica Parker. It's a teen dance flick- my favorite kind of guilty pleasure. All Great HOSTAGE type films. They're probably better with the pillow case & cattle prod. What a wonderful post.

Might have to add it to the queue. @Yourprotagonist - I have seen none of those. I totally fail. @Vendetta - I don't know what it is, but Lori Petty totally bugs me! I liked her in A League of Their Own, but I almost felt like she went crazy after Tank Girl and never recovered. Weird. @kipod - Night of the Comet is the only one I've seen and I LOVED THAT MOVIE. Also, totally agree that this is not reflective of a favorite movie list at all. Totally different thing. @bigbadbob - I think the fact that I am TOTALLY DISTRACTED by Richard Gere's birthmark in An Officer and a Gentlemen is reflective of my overall immaturity. @steve - I have NEVER SEEN Sound of Music and am threatened with a hostage viewing frequently. Totally with you on Pee Wee and Elf. Two total favorites. Especially Elf. "Did Crumpet put you up to this?" @V & Amber – I have never seen Harold and Maude, but it always seems to come up on lists like this. Might have to add it to the queue.

My wife has politely sat through these movies and that's why I love her. The movies you MUST love in order to be a member of our family are PEE WEE's Big Adventure and Elf.

What Dreams May Come 2. An Officer and a Gentleman ...and #3 always changes between Garden State, Meet Joe Black, Into The Wild, Elizabethtown, Addicted to Love, Stardust and Flash Gordon.

My very favorite movie . . . Harold and Maude. For so many reasons that I can't even begin to tell you. My other favorite is Everything is Illuminated. Funny, genius, heartbreaking. I guess I like movies that make me flip between belly laugh and bawling. Well how weird is that? My very favorite movie . . . Harold and Maude.
