I do agree that his goal was to recreate memories for others as well. Kim - I do not like Teen Wolf. That is solely a Taylor thing. Some Kind of Wonderful? Am I lame to have never heard of that movie before? Claire – Thanks for the link. I do agree that his goal was to recreate memories for others as well.

Kim – I do not like Teen Wolf. That is solely a Taylor thing. Some Kind of Wonderful? Am I lame to have never heard of that movie before?

Great pictures and a fun discussion of movies. The list of 80's movies brings back so many memories. The Princess Bride is one that my husband and I can both quote, but you reminded me of Teen Wolf that I hadn't thought about for years. I watched that over and over again. One more that I loved was Some Kind of Wonderful. My friends and I would rewind that kiss scene over and over again. :) I just reread this review after reading your new Halloween post.

One of my favorite books of the year so far. It does contain English scarcasim as does say a Nick Hornby book, but if an inspiring story full of humor and movie references sounds like something you would enjoy pick up a copy. The fact that your review Natasha has started in the blog world other peoples memories and lists for film I think was the goal of the author in my humble opinion Thanks Natasha! http://keeperofthesnails.blogspot.com/2008/03/twenty-second-sunday-salon-admit-one.html Give this book a read, please take a look at this interview with the author below.

Bring it on! One more movie that belongs at the top of the best movies list: Gross Pointe Blank. I he says that one isn't good, we have problems. I am ready for Taylor’s Whit! Bring it on!

If I can ever get him to sit down at my blog he'll have to let you know what he thinks. Trish - I've actually have never seen Vanilla Sky, so I can't give an opinion of my own. I wonder how come Taylor saw it and not me. Where was I? Trish - I think Ever After is a way cute movie. I've watched that one several times. Jennifer - That's a good comparison with People magazine. Nothing grand about this book, but obviously it's made for some great movie discussions here. Laura H. - Overboard? I've never even heard of that one. Who's in it? Jenn M - No worries on the spoilers. I've actually never seen The Perfect Storm and haven't really had any desire to do so. Now I know! Chad – Taylor has some very witty responses for you.

I have to agree with your husband on Vanilla Sky. Thought it was HORRIBLE. Also up there for me on the worst movies ever was Lost in Translation. Maybe I just didn't get it. My exact reaction to the end of the movie was "huh?" Princess Bride is one of my favorite all time movies, along Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, and Groundhog Day. I'm like your husband....I am a compulsive list-maker. My husband HATES it. He finds my lists everywhere, so now I just make them n the computer :) Hoping that what happened to your computer doesn't happen to mine!! Then I would be listless and lost!

Had I had my academic cap on, I'd have been right with you guys. LOL! about your husband, and mine, too. :) I really wasn’t approaching this book any differently than I do a People magazine.
