Jaws made me terrified of the water and Arachnophobia made me fear the spider, and The Fly made me scared of getting involved in any arm wrestles. And bathroom mirror cabinets.

If Jean De Florette and Manon des Sources were a single vote I might have gone for that.

Yeah, that would have been tempting... but c'mon. This is obvious.

Blue Velvet

I do love that scene in The Squid & the Whale when Bernard suggested that Walt and his girlfriend should see that film over Short Circuit and he went with them.

Oy... not the kind of film you want to take someone on a date to unless she likes weird shit.

I love films with a lot of imagination so it's gotta be Labyrinth.
