I don't believe that women's list, at all. Dirty Dancing? Seriously?!
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Look at that bad boy SW trilogy. I don't know if I've ever rewatched The Sound Of Music. Hmm.
Spidey 3 question: When you think about Harry's change of heart in the last act, is the assumption that his previous grip on unreality was a sane one? I mean, when presented with truth from Peter (lamely explained, BTW), was he driven temporarily mad by grief or something? I ask because I liked it, but in liking it am ignoring the parts I hated which had him frothing irrationally at the mouth. Seems like a big deal to be cleared up by a few (VERY LATE) words from his butler. Can one psychotically unbreak in a manner of minutes?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Dirty Dancing? Seriously?!
Oh, I believe that one most of all. NSM with The Sound of Music.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sound of Music is on tv at the same time every year though, or was, anyway. I'll bet it picks up a lot there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies I can't help but watch every time I find it when flipping through channels. It's a sickness.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This is 3½ years old, but it's the best RoTK review ever!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Huh. None of the movies listed for men OR women are ones I watch often. Except maybe Aliens, but since I only watch it about once a year, I don't call that "often". Not compared to, say, Beetlejuice.

That's a great list! At least it has some of my favorites, although they got the wrong one from Weekend. The right one (the greatest traffic jam in cinema) doesn't appear to be on YouTube in its original format.

Another great long take (albeit one that doesn't impress with camerawork, but with the actor's rhythms):
