Saving Private Ryan
16. Popcorn?
Oh yeah - large with buttah!

The Poseidon Adventure - scared me shitless

Peter Sellers' last film, The Fiendish Plot Of Dr. Fu Manchu, comes to mind, though it might be worth a revisit as it was so long ago.

Eraserhead
23. What is the scariest movie you've seen?
Alien
24. What is the funniest movie you've seen?
Gotta give it to Blazing Saddles

Oh, man, I'm jealous you thought of #10 and I didn't. I mean, I stick by my choice, but how could I forget Tom Waits! I own pretty much everything he ever recorded, and have continually been blown away by his performances on screen. You ever see Jarmusch's Down By Law?
#7- Festival Express jams. I think I'll pull that out again this weekend. Buddy Guy was so YOUNG!!!!
#9- I'd have mentioned that one if it had asked about a movie I've LIVED.
#21 - I should see that again, too. Not his best film, to be sure, but it had a few moments. I loved that he could never keep his chinese henchmen straight, and then finally said "You all look the same to me!"

Saving Private Ryan, oddly enough, did not make me cry. But I had nightmares for 2 weeks.

You have seriously good taste in movies, O'Tim (imho)... and you've reminded me that it's about time I saw Alien, Eraserhead, and Withnail and I once again :)
When I saw Alien in the theater, it was before those "Entertainment Tonight" type of shows and people tended not to spoil surprises for you. I jumped out of my damn seat when that thing came shooting out of John Hurt. I also felt like I was going to barf!! Great flick!
Oh, I was hot for the virginal ON-J myself. I like the innocent ones :-)
And *great* choice on Alien. Scared the piss out of me when I saw it as a kid!
It wasn't until *many* years later that I saw Aliens. That was the freakin' bomb! Creepy crawly...

Thanks for the recommendation -- I'll check it out. If you've never seen "The Ruling Class," I recommend that one in return, with the same caveat.
