    Pulp Fiction.............good call purps and anyone else that mentioned it.

    Any movie with Samuel L. Jackson spouting "t he path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee" is a geat movie.

    "The Big Empty" an X-files/Twilight Zone sort of film with Jon Favreau, Rachel Leigh Cook, Daryl Hannah, Kelsey Grammer, and several others. "My Neighbor Totoro", just saw this Saturday evening and loved it. "Cosmos", the best science fiction film ever made, IMHO.

    Mr. Flipper here, forgot a few I really like. The Edge with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. Comedy also reigns supreme in our house too. Night at the Roxbury or any Will Ferrell movies,some Jim Carrey, Dumb and Dumber, Cable Guy I like alot, dark humor there. Of course I like all 3 Austin powers movies. Quite titillating. Dr. Evil just kills me. My son teases me like Scott does Dr. Evil his dad. My son is more respectful though. He better be. So just a few. Keep postin'. Peace, mr. Flipper
