1. something I can relate to
2. something that takes me away from life for a couple of hours
3. something that had lots of jackassery and stupid humor
to add this the rules said the first 15 that came to mind, so I kinda made my list and went back for commentary.

| Dennisbike's butt |
1. Star Wars (the first 3)- permeates everything
2. Breakfast Club- which one where you? I was clearly the princess
3. Some kind of Wonderful- first movie character that I felt like was my world
4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall- Mila Kunis went from cute to hot. Funny as hell too
5. Rachel's Wedding-movie captured what it's like to be in an alcoholic family. painful to watch.

| Blake and Monk |
7. Bones Brigade Video Show- skate video that captured a life style I wanted, but didn't understand yet
8. Animal House- Jack Ass humor at it's best
9. Almost Famous- how can you not love a road trip movie
10. Big Fish- cry at the end every time; life is about your experiences and the stories you tell about them...
 |
| Monkey up they new climb along 273... |
12. Old School- more jack ass humor
13. 50 first dates- humor and a great date movie. I have a weakness for Drew Barrymore too
14. Roadhouse- this movie is a tractor beam, if it's on I'm watching it... Sam Elliot rules
15. Superbad- high school trying to get laid, and beer- perfect.

the breakfast club - at that time i was a mix between the princess and the freaky girl. i remember i saw this movie on a date with this guy who had the worst breath i ever smelled. i remember shoving gum down his throat all nite. yuck.
diane's bike is sweet. i am getting ready to order my voodoo frame and will put dominic to work. hoping it's done mid-feb.
p.s. pretty in pink was on last nite. now i wanted to BE molly ringwald when that movie came out. and then she came here and filmed fresh horses. they auditioned for her movie at my school. crazy shit.
Funny. I can't describe any movies, fiction movies anyhow, as having "impacted" me. They entertain me but for the most part I generally leave the theater/turn off the TV knowing full well it was all make-believe, and that the manipulation in the movie is usually completely intentional (except where it's unintended by a dope of a director). Books, incl. fiction books, have more of an impact on me; they make me change how I think about / perceive things. I guess some movies do stick with me more than others, but remembering funny one-liners or being emotionally moved for 15 minutes isn't really the same as being "impacted." Heller's writing in Catch 22- that impacted me and changed how I write and think about language. Tarantino's very similar use of pastiche and irony in Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs? Um, I liked that... didn't change how I view anything though, except maybe Quentin Tarantino...
BTW, could we kill the fucker who verbed "impact" and turned a perfectly useful noun about car crashes, hand grenades, second order effects and clogged colons into a verb that grates on the ears? I've been impacted by the impact of impact. I'm impacted with impact...
Oh, except for On Golden Blonde IV: She's Fonda Henry. I was *totally* impacted by that.
