I can never remember the plot or endings of movies. I don't know why; I have a really good memory for everything else. Some films that have made an impression: Don't Look Now (scariest movie ever!), Pirates of the Caribbean, Dumb and Dumber, Sideways, Down By Law, Dog Day Afternoon, Carlito's Way. Also love 50s sci-fi B movies, (older) Woody Allen films, Buster Keaton, Marx Brothers, Laurel & Hardy, and 1980s teen movies. Can you tell I'm very high-brow?
Lost, Doctor Who, Days of Our Lives (the best soap opera ever!).
