    I think it's kind of funny you included Half-Baked in that list of movies

    Godfathers are a must, imo.

    You need to watch 24 as well. I'm telling you, you'd love it. More meaningful and mostly surprising plot twists than a pretzel.

    In fact, If you're coming to the Arky St game & social time, I'll bring my dvd for you to borrow.

    Never understood why they blow up the plane in the first episode.

    I'd also like to mention, if I was anybody in this place, I'd seriously consider banning you until you got most of this list taken care of. I'd start with the Godfathers and I really wouldn't let you back until The Big Lebowski was watched at least 3 times and once while drinking a caucasian

    Because planes blowing up makes good TV....


    Duh.

    Honestly, that almost completely ruined the show for me. We want to impersonate this guy, so we'll blow up the plane he's on. I'm sure no one will find it suspicious that he's hanging out around the President a few hours after his plane blew up in midair.

    Tenny: How have you never seen any of those movies? Are you a Cinephobe? I think you would like Ben-Hur and Spartacus. Those are really good movies. The Godfather I & II should be required viewing. Have you seen Casablanca?

    I have never seen Raging Bull or Taxi Driver, either. Have no clue what Half-baked is.

    I have not watched Apocalypse Now all the way through, either.

    Oh, and I do not think I have ever seen a Woody Allen movie all the way through.

    I've seen the first Godfather. I liked it quite a bit, but to be honest, I didn't really feel "#2 greatest movie of all time" like it appears on all the lists. Maybe because it pushed the envelope for the time, I dunno.

    "Oh, Paulie. You won't see him no more."

    Folks here told me I had to watch The Usual Suspects. You know what I did? I got on Netflix a week or two later and watched The Usual Suspects.

    C'mon, Tenny.



    C'mon.
