5 is hitch hikers. I totally know 7 but I can't put my finger on it. :(

[servermonkey.livejournal.com]

lulu_girl got #7, sorry!

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

10.) Aliens. ?
7.) Ghostbusters! :D

Number 1 is killing me because it's on the tip of my wee brain! argh!

13 reminds me of Dr Strangelove, but I'm probably wrong. Man, now I wanna watch that movie. Netflix time! :D

[servermonkey.livejournal.com]

Correct on two of 'em, but not 13.

You know, I need to watch Dr. Strangelove again though.

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

Now I want to watch Aliens too.

I love that movie.

"Why don't you put her in charge?!' whinewhinewhine

and that whole nuking from orbit bit slays me every time. so badass!

It's the only way to be sure.

I recall having a great Aliens discussion with someone either via LJ or some forums. It brought warm feelings to my heart. Also, never else did I hate Paul Reiser so much. Not really hate him per se, but his character. Of course, I do get angry at Mad About You from time to time.

Honestly, I have had the Alien Quadrilogy in hand no less than four times in the last couple of months. I should just bite the bullet and buy the thing.

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

HA I'm not the only one!

Whenever I see Paul Reiser, a small part inside of me whispers 'you bastard.' haha! Ah well.

I only like Alien and Aliens. The rest don't exist to me. < sigh >

True, the first two were definitely the strongest of the series--and it's interesting to me how different each director's take on them was.

Now, 3 definitely had a lot of problems and considering the mess that David Fincher was left with, well it's amazing he got a chance to helm something else.

Resurrection? UGH! Even I can only forgive Winona Ryder so much.

But the Quadrilogy has two versions of each film. I guess I must be a quantity over quality person? .: sulking :.

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

1. Doctor Strangelove?

2. Donnie Darko

13. Saved

15. Say Anything

[servermonkey.livejournal.com]

Nope on #1 though it definitely sounds like it belongs in that movie.

Correct on all the rest, nicely done!

F*** rep!

Number 12 is from Swingers. "I've got a call back in the morning."
