Some Funny Ish...
i'm not really a movie person. maybe because I find it hard to sit still for 90 minutes-plus. unless I'm at an actual movie theatre, it's real rare to find me on the couch watching a movie. that being said, my favorite movies are Do The Right Thing, Lilo & Stitch, any movie with Denzel Washington, and Friday. i absolutely HATE horror movies...or any movie that involves figures or things jumping out of random places designed to scare people. i'll be the first to admit that I get alarmed and scared very easily(don't jump at me and yell boo around dark corners) so horror movies aren't really my thing.
random movies i love:
Malcolm X (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
What's Love Got To Do With It?
Pulp Fiction (Collector's Edition)
Family Guy, Vol. 3
American History X
Lilo & Stitch
Kill Bill, Volume 1
New Jack City
Remember the Titans (Director's Cut)
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Widescreen Edition)
