No Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind? Maybe it was just because I was going through a breakup at the time but that movie depressed the hell out of me. Confused

Dude, Green Mile made me cry in the theatre and I'm pretty sure it's the only movie that ever has.

Why Michael Clarke Duncan? WHY? He never hurt anybody!

As far as Roadhouse goes, Roadhouse is fucking AWESOME! I mean, come on, Patrick Swayze beats up like a hundred guys armed with guns completely bare handed. It's right up there with Deathwish 3 on the "So ridiculous, it's fucking awesome" scale.

And now this gem, "Death Bed: The Bed That Eats", how can that NOT be pure gold?

God I got depressed just reading that first list. Sophie's Choice is quite possibly THE single saddest movie ever made.

You know what movie that list IS missing though is "The Awakening." Holy balls that was sad. Sad

I can understand that. There's a scene in the movie where Jim Careys character is on a bus..i think it's a bus..anyway he sees the girl and she smiles at him and he smiles back and then you hear him think ''why do i fall in love with every girl who shows me the slightest bit of attention'' which just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.......anyway yeah great film, it's a gem.

Why isn't "Hackers" not in the worst movie category? Its actually better than Plan 9, but barely.

I know

Out of curiosity, did you know the ending beforehand? I had read the book so I knew what was coming and was a little prepared. I assume it would be quite the gut-punch if you had no idea.

I didn't really care for Green Mile in book form but it was a good little time waster in theaters.

I can't remember. I was a big King fan even then, but I kinda don't think I had Green Mile yet.
