    What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

      In the Bedroom
      The Remains of the Day
      The Joy Luck Club
      Ulee's Gold
      An Officer and a Gentleman
      Out of Africa
      The Accidental Tourist
      Michael
      Phenomenon
      I really liked Remains of the Day a lot, though I haven't seen it in probably over 10 years. Maybe I wouldn't like it as much now, but at the time I thought it was a tremendously moving movie, with a terrific acting job by Anthony Hopkins; my favorite of his. It is amazing what a powerful performance he gave with a real understated style.

      I don't have any disagreements with the rest. The Accidental Tourist is one of my favorite books. I liked the movie, but do not think it was a classic.

        I hate the Princess Bride. Mormon kids love it. Aside from Jack's performance, I hated The Departed.

          I loved that movie. Mostly b/c it closely depicts what my grandpa experienced. Locations, situations, experiences, etc.

            Is that avatar a photoshop? If not, what in the heck is the story behind it?

              What about Pulp Fiction? I personally am not a huge fan of the film, but I do know it's very highly regarded.
              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                Pulp Fiction is amazing, but I wish I could erase most of it from my memory.

                  Also I should add that Paul Haggis and Sam Mendes.....their movies are manipulative pieces of crap.
