Yeah, good thing.
I've never seen Slapshot...

that was an itchy trigger finger away from a neg rep right there.
run, won't walk to the nearest ... wherever it is that you get your movies.... and get it.
I don't want to see you in the "I'm bored" thread until you can tell me why "I'm trying to listen to the fucking song" is one of the best lines in all cinema.

I don't get movies. I watch movies other people bring to me. No one's brought me Slapshot yet. I'll try to plant the seed soon.

Perhaps you will see Slap Shot when they get done with the remake.

Not a fan of most remakes. Have you seen the remake of Twelve Angry Men? It sucks. The Wickerman? Ugh.

No, I'll watch the original.

ahhh, i see i missed the 'man categories'. i apologize, i can't imagine how i didn't put action or war in there...right now i can't think of an action movie that i would list as my favorite, but war it's Band of Brothers series (not a movie...but i'm going with that...). as a female i can't say i'm overly surprised by your romantic selections. hahahah.

I liked the remake of "Twelve Angry men". I thought Friedkin did a good job. I think the original is a lot better, and that there was no reason to remake it as it still held up well, but overall I liked it.

I like Serenity too, Rangers.

Well, okay, so maybe I just had way too high of expectations after watching the brilliance of the original. But my point stands. Originals are better.

I wasn't trying to argue that point - sorry if it seemed that way. I agree (usually - The Thing being one exception and Jaws 3-d being another). I was just stating how I thought the remake was pretty decent too. Just makin' conversation.

Ooooh yeah! Have been since forever.

...and I'm probably just like you in that I've seen every film a few dozen times and if I had the time, I'd would sit here right now and watch em a few dozen more. :)
