don't think I ever sympathised with JD. Loved the movie anyway, though.
I was a bit overly romantic (and into Christian Slater) as a teenager...
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

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.

Compassionately intolerant
I watch it because I love the costumes.My favorite part!
And I agree with the assessment of Veronica becoming strong in a different (although at the very end, a little too similar) way from JD. At the time, I was all about the 'he's just a misunderstood boy who is so so so pretty). Now, it's yeesh...you kids need a nap.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Bring It On
Totally forgot that one! I love that movie.

Hey. New board.
Um. Well, I still remember being a little kid and watching The Little Mermaid once a week or so. For years. Sometimes more often. I can still quote pretty much every word (as I found out when I watched the pretty new DVDs with my neighbor). But I'm not sure if that counts.
Once I was old enough that watching the same video over and over was no longer awesome for its own sake, here are some I've watched a lot of times:
Star Wars original trilogy
The Matrix
The Incredibles
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
American Beauty
Lost in Translation
Mean Girls
Clueless
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Kissing Jessica Stein
Thirteen

Speaking of Christian Slater (weren't we?) and most watched movies. Another that I must confess to seeing 6 times...in the theatre...in one week...is...wait for it...Untamed Heart.
Pump Up the Volume!
...I can't believe I just admitted that. As you were.

Oh goodness, I also loved Pump Up the Volume, although Untamed Heart was the ultimate in woobification... But I think it is more embarrassing because I am, like, 10 years older than you are, I think...

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What? Pump Up the Volume was AWESOME!
I was bit mystified as to why they kept casting him as the romantic lead though, because charismatic as he might have been, the dude was *creepy*, yo. He was stalkerish in both "Untamed Heart" and "Bed of Roses", if I recall. By the way, whatever happened to Mary Stuart Masterson? She was so great in Friday Green Tomatoes and uhm, *cough*, Some Kind of Wonderful. t ducks from Plei's wrath

Pfft. You like what you like when you like it! (For example, I might be going to a concert next month with a bunch of kids 10 years younger than I am, and I fully expect to be mistaken for their mother.)

Thrive to spite them
I loved Somekind of Wonderful Mary Stuart Masterson has guested on L&O SVU as a child psychologist.
I have the ultimate shame in teenage movie watching, when I was in middle school my best friend and I would watch Thrashin' over and over again. Josh Brolin has a skateboarder in a gang who falls for the sister of a rival gang member. West Side Story but with frontside ollies and backside airs instead of jazz hands.
