That one doesn't count. I mean, who doesn't like ID?

I don't :(

The movie has too many plot holes for my liking. I'm all for a good popcorn movie, but it has to be in the relm of possibility. I'm not talking about the aliens showing up, more so of how they were defeated.

There are a bunch of good movies listed in this thread.

Gleaming the Cube and pretty much any 80's movie with skateboarding.
Pooty Tang.
Tales From the Hood.
There are some chick flicks I like but I won't list them. ;)

My guess is that the alien mothership just happens to respond to a Mac virus? A friend of mine had real issues with that...me not so much. I love that movie.

My guilty pleasure....

Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith

I know line for line my favorite scene on the landing pad right before the duel...from the moment Padme runs out of the ship to the moment Anakin tells Obi Wan, "You will try!". I thought that scene contained the best dialogue in all 3 prequels.

some more...

Empire Records
Caveman
The Big Lebowski

See, Macs could always network with PCs using WinPC, but it was PCs that lacked the ability to network with Macs. Furthermore, Macs were every bit capable of compiling code (such as C++) as well as connecting through a Unix network (plausible common language since the signal was being sent through human-made satellites). But seeing as how PCs are/were lesser technology, I fail to see this person's argument to begin with. Macs are superior to PCs, so of course that's what you're going to take into space to communicate with superior alien technology.

:D

Empire Records
The Big Lebowski

Bravo for Empire Records. Way to stand up and be counted. But I beg to differ on The Big Lebowski. There should be no guilt assigned. The Big Lebowski is the perfect movie and should be celebrated, not shamed.

:yeahthat:

Not a guilty pleasure.

wiki said:
A guilty pleasure is known as a something one considers pleasurable despite it being mainly received negatively or looked down on by a majority of society. References to guilty pleasures are often used in terms of the arts and entertainment, such as music, film, and television and other aspects of popular culture.

An example of guilty pleasure would be a man who watches television shows marketed towards women, such as Sex and the City, soap operas, such as The Young and the Restless, "cheesy" series such as Saved By The Bell, and yellow-journalism shows such as Cops. This is considered a guilty pleasure, as it violates most western ideas what society views as masculine. For this reason the man in question may watch this show in secret because other members of the society may react negatively to a man watching a feminine television show

Like Kate and Hanson or me and SBTB.

Except for in that scene where Obi Wan tells Anakin "Only a Sith speaks in absolutes". I love that line, since it is, itself, an absolute. So that's the great Star Wars conspiracy, Obi Wan is a Sith. LOL.

Big Trouble in Little China

My best friend and I used to do the "multiple eyebrow raises" to each other in grade school.

Fun fact: The white chick in the movie is Kim Catrall of "Sex and the City".

That line annoyed me so much.
