Ah yes, Thirtysomething, I liked that one, too. It is funny actually because, although I am not too enthralled with the overall US broadcasting, my favorite shows, and movies, have almost always been American ones. Your list of films is impressive; I love movies, too, but actually had a hard time thinking of four favourite ones. Somehow I seem to forget about a lot of the ones I have seen, could just be my general goldfish memory of course!

Ok, so "just a bit" turned into "withing 24 hours". Sorry.

Sigh.

But it's there now!

Sorry I'm so deliquent. Ah, the shame. To be tagged and then not show up to find out. I'll have mine up soon.

In the meantime I wanted to tell you what cool points you scored even knowing Hudsucker Proxy---let alone haveing it as one of your favs. Awesome.

Be back in just a bit to let you know I've posted.

You worked on a cruise ship?? I had no idea. You'll have to tell me about it sometime. I always thought working on a cruise ship would be fun (... gee, could having watched episode upon episode of The Love Boat have anything to do with it?) ... but, with my tendency toward motion sickness, I don't think I'd last very long.

Oh, I forgot about thirtysomething. That was just one of my favorite shows ever. Had such a crush on Michael. Really, I liked everyone on there ... but it started going downhill once they went to work for Miles at the big agency. Should look that up on DVD.

I love the Princess Bride, too. It was on the other day ... caught some of it as I was flipping through. I'm sure it's on a lot.

Hope this was fun for you!

I was digging your movie list (since I adore Harold and Maude and Thelma and Louise...and that sorta sounds like a twisted version of Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice)...and then saw the TAG. HA! Hmmm...I'll have to ponder these... Like your list!
