Oh well. I will hands down agree with The Princess Bride. I absolutely love that movie and recently made my mother watch it again. She didn't think it was good at all. I told her she was disowned.

I think my favorite scene is the flop sweat- which actually brings me to an addendum to my list- Lost in America. Thanks for the anecdotes.

I can't help myself even though I know the ending -- i just watch it whenever it's on, and sometimes if it's on VOD I go for it. The movie is just so big and yet so small. Does that make sense? Like the shot in the library from above or the new faces of actors that would go on to be mainstays. And Jason Robard -- the shot when he is leaving for the ball and he taps on the desk cause he knows the Washington Post has "the story" -- brilliant acting. I can go on and on and on -- and everytime I think of how the set was recreated down to the garbage cans. And let's THINK ABOUT IT -- no internet just good all fashion leg work and they broke the story. WOODSTEIN!!!!! I have watched A Christmas Stroy -- yes a million time. I am also a big fan of The Night Stalker. Darren McGavin, I believe his wife, and myself were all waiting for a bus in the Union Square section of Manhattan. I was praying we would sit near each other. Which we did. He was such a lucky charm. His face lit up as we chatted about how much I loved him. What did we talk about: The Night Stalker -- I blanked out on A Christmas Story. I have never forgiven myself. My Tootsie story -- When you live in NY -- you have a story for everything. I LOVE SYDNEY POLLACK. And he too I saw in NY -- Let me digress for a sec. I rented Tootsie back in the days when movie rentals were in video cassettes and you really had to bring them back in a day. Being the procrastinator that I was and loving Tootsie so much, the rental ended up being about 300. What I learned years later, that my ex, who returned the movie and worked in TV was so pissed the videostore would cut me a break he bulked erased it. Anyway back to Sydney, I saw him -- I guess it must have been in the early 90s, walking down 1st ave and 52nd st. He looked lost in thought, so I really didn't stop. Just watched. Years later, I was on a bus and I saw the actress who played the producer in Tootsie. She had also been, for many years, on my soap opera. Since cancelled. Again, another prayer and bingo she sat next to me. I apologized for the intrusion. I mentioned how much I loved Tootsie and that I had seen Sydney Pollack and how I thought the whole tomato scene was brilliant. Surprisingly she said I should have stopped and told him. Apparantly he was so insercure about his acting, he would hearing how funny he was. I have stories about Broadcast News, a movie that should have made my list but I picked Brook's As Good as it Gets. I worked at NBC for many years. As an editor. The editing scene -- exactly how it goes down. Here is some inside inside scoop. At least I think it is. John Hurt's character was modelled after this person. "This person" I edited with about 10 years ago in a scenario much like the one in the film. Me playing the editor and everyone hoping I didnt press the wrong key. Another ATPM watcher.

There's something so terrible yet masochistically addictive about watching those terrible Fantastic 4 movies, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and dating back to Wild Wild West and Matrix:Revolutions. They show it, I am lazy and watch it. And this is what I do with life.
