Didn't realize you such a big howdy doody fan. Where to begin?

Hrm...

Nothing from M*A*S*H? Nothing from Cheers? Not the Fonz jumping the shark? Nothing from HBO? Not the interracial kiss on Star Trek? Not Ellen coming out? Not JR getting shot on Dallas, or that dream-ending thing? Not Jack friggin' Ruby shooting and killing Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV?

24, Grey's Anatomy and Jordan Catalano?

Oh, but I thought of American Graffiti. I chose Dazed and Confused over it, because they are both nostalgic high school films, and I'm just more partial to the 70s than the 50s. That fake nostalgia of which Janine spoke (above) is the same I get when watching Dazed and Confused, but is oddly absent when I watch American Graffiti. I'm also a little scared of George Lucas. I'm afraid if I put it on the list, he'll remake it, or add a prequel or sequel with commies or CGI students, then you have American Graffiti action figures, video games, lunch boxes (do kids still have lunch boxes, or is it a strictly hipster business now?)

And in the second one they kill the dog. I'm always impressed when the dog dies.

High Fidelity does absolutely make it, or are you just one of those huge "Must Love Dogs" fans?

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for the quality of your posts, though. Annie Hall? Where's the visceral feeling? So, Heavyweights and Camp Nowhere are better than Caddyshack? How about the "BEST" baseball movie, Bull Durham?

Try copying your message before you post. Then, if it messes up, you can repost it.

What about Pontius Pilate in "Last Temptation of Christ"?

I was there with Rob and indeed there was a pretty large clan of us all. If I can recall, it was either Rob's or my decision for the group to see the movie, and there were many harumphs when no one but us liked it (so they say. I can recall a whole lot of guffaws while we were in the dark). Their loss, it rocked then and still does now.

Well, I suppose I can forgive that since Jaws is in almost every other TDA list.

Can I just say that I love that you can't hear the name Sebastian screams at the end of "The Never Ending Story"?

Yeah, there were quite of few movies I had to leave off the list. "One Crazy Summer" was one of them, unfortunately. I think it's just been too long since I've seen it, and not nearly enough times before then. If I had a list of the best John Cusack summer movies, that movie just might top the list.

As for "The Great Outdoors", it was one of my last minute additions. It just kinda dawned on me when I was finishing up and getting ready to post. I just couldn't leave it off (too bad for "Summer School").
