Oh, the one with the surfer exiled to Colorado, where Seth Green did the quick-change trying on outfits. There was a...roller-blading slalom race? Ringin' any bells?
Airborne!! it was Cincinnati, actually. i love that movie in all its cheesy glory.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

X-Men FC was the first movie I have seen in the theatre in an age. I really enjoyed it...excepting the tragic miscasting mentioned above...and the lack of after credit goody.
Seriously, two thirds of the audience sat and waited. There was much lamentation.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Somebody mentioned Labyrinth and I don't think I've ever watched it all the way through so I put it on and whose name do I see? Kevin Clash! (He's Elmo).

Coal Miner's Daughter, although that one's never on anymore.
Do you not have the TV Guide channel? Every time I switch to that on a weekend Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones are embroiled in drama about something.
Aliens is probably my top drop everything movie.

Because books.
Really?! Maybe I do, I have no idea. The new Verizon lineup we have here still confuses me.
I have other drop everything movies, I know, but those were the first two I could think of that are on all the time. If I catch Gone With the Wind I'll generally watch at least part of it, I know.

Drop Everything Movies: High Plains Drifter, which really isn't a good movie, and Rock & Roll High School, which is very satisfying.

Saw X-Men: First Class this afternoon. Liked the character bits, was less impressed by the plot, particularly all the events, friendships, etc. being compressed into about a week and all the flashy anachronistic equipment just being given to people rather than being painstakingly developed over time by those who would actually be able to test the underlying principles. (Seriously, how do you build psi-enhancing or -blocking devices if you don't have proof of psychic powers actually existing, let alone any way to actually measure them?)
Also, Professor X and Magneto were less obviously slashy than I'd been led to believe. Though perhaps Supernatural has skewed my baseline on this front.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My drop everything movies are all over the map. All About Eve, Real Genius, Singing in the Rain, Ghostbusters, Bridget Jones Diary, Wizard of Oz, Philadelphia Story...and a lot more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
