I Love James Bond movies (although i don't know which ones go with which names)

 

SLEEPY HOLLOW

What?? I'm a designer, and it's amazingly designed!! You don't even want to know what other movies I own that I didn't list!!


Yeah Typho! Though, I think LAAH is the most girly, but I do love a guy who can admit to liking Titanic!

 

Alright dude i just thought it was a bad film!

Entertaining, but not in a good way

 

Sleepy Hollow was pretty good, it captured it's intended mood and was pretty funny at times

Wouldn't say it's a 'favorite' of mine but i like it.

It's better than Spidey 2

 

Some good ones in there, especially Princess Bride and Cast Away.

Most of my favorites, believe it or not, are not sci-fi.

I did like Appolo 13 and Independance Day though. And the MIB's are funny. A couple of the Star Treks, like Wrath of Kahn and the Borg one were good.

My farovites?

Major League (only the first one)
Caddyshack
Fast Times
Animal House
Midnight Run
Green Card (yeah, really)
