I'm not much for movies, but.... Lesse.
Up in Smoke -- classic Cheech & Chong
Harry Potter -- a neat fantasy
Mask -- Jim Cary's best shot
O Brother, Where Art Thou -- funny, violent, and great music
Porky's #1 -- I grew up in those days.
The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values -- dunno why I like these so much
Evil Roy Slade -- Shit-kicker lampoon.
Star Wars Trilogy -- but forget SW II. It sucked like a 10 inch salvage pump.
Fantasia -- Disney's only classic
Pirates -- Roman Polaski directs Super-Slouch.
Natural Born Killers -- The evil side of Woody Harrelson.
The Tenth Kingdom A VERY long fantsy, but most enjoyable.
If I think of any more, I'll lay 'em on ya.

You mean the Michael Crichton book, written under the pseudonym of "John Lange"?

For sheer entertainment, you can't beat The Fifth Element!
But just for content, I like The Medicine Man. |

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

Here's a whole, big list of garenteed, excellent reading. The Defenders of Public Morality can't possibly be wrong, can they?

quote:
Books Suppressed or Censored by Legal Authorities
"ftp://ftp.trentu.ca/pub/jjoyce/ulysses/" by James Joyce was recently selected by the Modern Library as the best novel of the 20th century, and has received wide praise from other literature scholars, including those who have defended online censorship. (Carnegie Mellon English professor and vice-provost Erwin Steinberg, who praised the book in 1994, also defended CMU's declaration that year to delete alt.sex and some 80 other newsgroups, claiming they were legally obligated to do so.) Ulysses was barred from the United States as obscene for 15 years, and was seized by U.S Postal Authorities in 1918 and 1930. The lifting of the ban in 1933 came only after advocates fought for the right to publish the book.

Of course the Holy Bible has been banned more than any other book in history! |
