My thoughts on V's list: The Fellowship of the Ring: good flick, not a huge fan Moulin Rouge: excellent O Brother, Where Art Thou?: ditto Punch-Drunk Love: didn't do it for me Adaptation: the most overrated film of 2002; hugely disappointing The Two Towers: fun, but the storytelling was...
Already chimed in on Justin's list; as for Brian... The Virgin Suicides: good choice Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: nah Ghost World: solid The Princess and the Warrior: solid Almost Famous: awesome choice Ginger Snaps: haven't seen The Believer: ditto Shadow of the Vampire...

Vickie: You make an excellent point, and I could care less what the denoument will be. But there are times when being 'right' is just not that important, and these games we play count as an example, IMO. Bill says he posted in error. I say give him the benefit of the doubt and let him...

It's a game fellas. Justin, why not be cool and give Bill Mulholland Drive. Rules are meant to be broken, right? It's not like we're electing a President here. Oh, bad example... :D
