Movies:

i have a hard time remembering movies. for example,when people say "remember this part in the movie where so and so did/said this and that" and respond with a blank stare because although i may have seen the movie, once, twice, perhaps even thrice, i never remember exact parts. the following are movies that really stand out to me and i remember pretty thoroughly. in no particular order: murderball, ferris bueller's day off, dogtown and z boys, million dollar baby, born into brothels, mad hot ballroom, march of the penguins, lords of dogtown, endless summer, napoleon dynamite, office space, old school. interesting how most of my faves are documentaries of real life events/people. i connect better with real people/things.
