The comparison was actually quite easy and fun when I copy pasted into excel. I also realized most lists are great, I felt like I missed so many films.

from checking others' lists, so far Ned shares the most titles with me at 15 and Junior the least at 3

Shocking!

yeah, i'm not sure if i am happy or sad about that :)
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I think we could make an interesting buddy cop movie out of it.

i think a good buddy internet forum movie would be even cooler!  that genre is ripe for exploitation  ;D

Frantastical, glad to see some of those picks.  If you got rid of the CINECAST!ing Star Wars movies, High Fidelity and Brick, your list would be almost perfect. :)

The Star Wars picks (especially 4&6, because 5 is just amazing) are mostly personal, nostalgic picks.  I got the trilogy on VHS when I got my tonsils out in 3rd grade.  Best present ever. :D But as for High Fidelity, Brick, and Star Wars V, those are great movies.
