There are movies that make me feel good. Not like watching a good horror movie and find it great thus feeling good, but are there movies which you think add something to you, emotionally. Flawless, for example is one of my favourites in that respect. I always feel happy after watching that film. Are there any films you feel the same ?



Too much debt...

How can any list not include It's A Wonderful Life?



"Oh Mikey do you think I even know what the hell they are talking about half the time? I dont know whether they are talking about how hard it is to be adopted or how their father never shows them love. All I do man, is I wrinkle my eyebrows, stare at their lips and somehow I turn out to be some big sweetie." - Trent Walker (Swingers - 1996)

Bad mistake; Business types teaching (one teacher, for programming 2, teaching us pascal while concurrently learning pascal at night school), complete disorganization, total lack of creativity and fun.
