Nice to see such diversity in the lists. Lots of John Hughes and ahem,,,Prince movies in there so far. Never heard of that Vincent Price one but I'm really digging his movies of late. Just rewatched the original fly and its superb.

And you should get all the way into that box with your choice of Monster in Law. I've really gone of JLO but I thought she was very good in U-turn. Blood and Wine was her best movie but I can't recall what her performance was like.

Keep em coming.

I wonder will Planet Earth vote?

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Eddie Murphy Delirious


thumbs up!

I've bought a lot of standup comedy dvds lately, with some excellent performances. Robin Williams live on Broadway is great for example, and all the Dave Chappelle stuff.
