Someone should change their vote to Paris, Texas

I would, if only This Is Spinal Tap wasn't so awesome.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

I voted Nausicaa and haven't found a compelling reason to change. :)

We can make it happen people, come on guys, its Miyazaki.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

A bit shocked that nobody other than myself has Once Upon a Time in America as their favorite for the year.
