We love that movie and would always watch it when we went to London every summer and stayed with my Grandparents. We knew it word for word..<BR/><BR/>I've seen troop bev hills numerous times too. Don't be ashamed. It's a good movie! She shows those girls what they really need to know, like how to tell an expensive diamond from a piece of shit, and how to help old people do ridiculous dances in their wheel chairs. <BR/><BR/>Big Business rocks. I love Lily and Bette together. RIch twins, poor twins, switched at birth..let the wackiness ensue!<BR/><BR/>Irr. differences is a classic. It was always on during a lazy sunday afternoon on FX or TBS or something. THat's the one with Drew Barrymore, right? <BR/><BR/>I love Shelly Long!

Irreconcilable Differences <BR/>2. Hello Again<BR/>3. Outrageous Fortune<BR/><BR/>These are honestly three amazing movies and she is so damn good in them and I wish she had become a bigger star and got to continue doing amazing comedic movies, because she's kind of a genius. <BR/><BR/>(I even have a soft spot for Troop Beverly Hills.

I think. I don't know, I can't remember. I didn't get enough sleep last night. <BR/><BR/>soleclaw, Big is just a terrific movie. I love that you had a video with Big and Big Business on it. I'm also a Big Business fan. Are you a fan of Outrageous Fortune? Tell me you are. <BR/><BR/>I just reread what I wrote about Jamie Foxx and I was harsh. My problem was more with the movie than his performance, the whole movie felt very by-the-book to me, but the scene that really made me mad was the scene towards the end, it was a dream sequence where he was with his younger self and he could see...that scene totally took me out of the movie and all I could think was, "oh look, it's NOT ray charles, it's an actor who can see and who has been pretending this whole time." It really took me out of the movie. Oy, I just felt like the whole thing was "showy" and I didn't FEEL IT.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1142950309956447642006-03-21T06:11:00.000-08:002006-03-21T06:11:00.000-08:00Believe it or not I read about 85% of this entry. ...Believe it or not I read about 85% of this entry. The list fascinates me and now I want to know the whole list of 100...so I can see which movies I've seen or haven't.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I love "Big." I had a huge crush on Tom Hanks when I was like 11 because of that movie. The very beginning when he first turns "big" and is in nothing but those boys undies...so cute. <BR/><BR/>I'll never ever forget two movies and those are "Big" and "Big Business"...they were recorded on the same VHS tape at home and they were the first "adult" movies I really enjoyed as a child.<BR/><BR/>Mind if I ask what you have against Jamie Foxx and his perfomance as Ray Charles?Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959914034833564529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1142944668013050812006-03-21T04:37:00.000-08:002006-03-21T04:37:00.000-08:00RE: the sleeping thing, is it troubling that I sle...RE: the sleeping thing, is it troubling that I sleep about three hours for every 30 up?<BR/><BR/>You're way ambitious to attempt the whole "real news" thing, even for the span of time it takes to create a few list items.<BR/><BR/>This whole post is way long.
