  • Hitch
  • We Were Soldiers
  • Office Space
  • The Thomas Crowne Affair
  • The Notebook
  • Miami Vice
  • Flight Plan
  • An Inconvenient Truth
  • John Tucker Must Die
  • Thank You For Smoking
  • Glory Road
  • You, Me and Dupree
  • The Breakup
  • Derailed
  • Sherrybaby
  • Maria Full of Grace
  • The Thin Blue Line
  • Blood Simple
  • Monster
  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I'm going to have to challenge some of these movie choices. You, Me and Dupree...The WORST. Please avoid Talladega Nights at all cost and replace "The Breakup" with "Match Point"...A Goodie

I heard You, Me and Dupree was not the best, but I don't care. I have a huge crush on Owen Wilson.

Well then, to feed the "Wilson hunger", Royal Tennebaums & Life Acquatic with Steve Zizou if you haven't already seen them.

If you haven't seen it, you must see Memento! It is a great movie and quite unique..Plus (staying on point) the main character has short term memory loss.

I second "Memento"!

If you want to watch a quirky movie that is dark at times and other times light with humor, check out:
"Me and You and Everyone We Know".

And, my all-time favorite - the classic "Harold & Maud". The soundtrack is Cat Stevens. Yes, it's disturbing -- that's why I had to sign in as "anonymous"!

Keep the recos coming. LOVE Memento. May have to watch it again.

And "annonymous" - you have me intrigued. Will put "Me and You and Everyone We Know" and "Harold & Maud" on the list and I'll see if I can figure out who you are ;)

Have you seen Mr. Mom yet? It's old but not dated at all.

Michael Keaton is a dream.

You can download it free at 한국어/조선말.com

Joan- if you're looking for some mindless (sorry, TGV said puns were allowed!) movies, you can always revisit some '80s favs a la 16 Candles, St. Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, etc. You can never go wrong with the old classics.

Joon - I will put Mr. Mom on the list.

I have been thinking of you. Did you ever pilot those positionings? How long were they, and did any involve either satelite radio or merchant banking codes? I know an expert who could help you roll those out to market.

Ms. Joan,

Thank you for the messageses, and for your interests.

I will give you a small and not very big Macro understanding, which might take a long time.

I will do that through this very funny joke from the merchant code conference in 1999, the funniest joke I've heard:

Questions: What do you call the brown burnt rice at the bottom of the rice cooker?

Answered: bob ee brown! (Bobby Brown)

(^_^) thinking of you, joon.

Thinking of you today. Kinky Boots is good for a laugh. And Netflix has it. Fi

School of Rock is awesome. Truly feel-good without the schmaltz, plus it stars Jack Black.

Love,
