My 100 movies (as of 2006 - Pre Netflix) 40 - 31

40. American History X Great use of black and white. Edward Norton tries to save his brother Edward Furlong from going down the same path that he did. Norton steals the show and the dialogue is amazing. Takes some time to get into it I feel, but once your there you are hooked. Bob Sweeney: There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed white people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions. Derek Vinyard: Like what? Bob Sweeney: Has anything you've done made your life better? 39. Super Troopers Tons of one liners, very entertaing. Highway patrolmen way more entertaining then Reno-911 ever are. Cameo by Jim Gaffigan and stars Brian Cox and the Broken Lizard gang. Still waiting for number 2. Farva: Gimme a litre o' cola. Dimpus Burger Guy...

Top 30 Movies I Want To See In 2012

Watched 11 of the 30 last year. Here's to getting to 12 in 12. 30. Total Recall The What: Worker begins to suspect he's a spy. Good cast: Ethan Hawke, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel. The Why: Remake albeit unnecessary. Like Colin Farrell, don't love him. 29. World War Z The What: A UN representative, writing a report on the great zombie war, interviews survivors in the wake of World War Z. The Why: Brad Pitt shows up which is a plus. Zombie movies are generally fun, but just very skeptical of this one. 28. The Devil Inside The What: A woman becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother. The Why: I enjoy exorcist movies, though they have all fallen short since the original. I keep hoping though. Disjointed bodies freak me out. 27. Halloween 3D The What: Not much is known, but it's 3D. Yeah!? I never actually saw the second, though I enjoy the first immensely. The Why: No Rob Zombie...
