My Lists

I've always wanted to do this, and I finally sat down and made myself do it. I have come up with a list of my top ten movies and my top twenty songs. Here they are.

Movies
10. A Cool, Dry Place- The Vince movie that really sealed the deal with me. Oh the dance!
9. Dazed and Confused- Reckons back to my high school days. Funny and quotable! Check you later!
8. Office Space- So true. It is so true.
7. Almost Famous- Kate Hudson is great, the story is endearing, and the scene on the bus when they sing Tiny Dancer is classic.
6. Dodgeball- Everything I think is funny wrapped up into one movie. Terrific cast: Stephen Root, Justin Long, Jason Bateman, and of course Vince Vaughn! Love him as Peter LaFluer.
5. O Brother Where Art Thou?- Even though this movie has sad emotional attatchments for me, it's still great. The music and the Cohen brothers' dialouge are just perfect.
4. The Royal Tenenbaums- My favorite Wes Anderson film. Wonderful ensemble cast and my favorite line: "I'm a widower too."
3. Swingers- Funny and meaningful. Vince will always be Trent Walker. And "that scene" was seriously life changing for me. Laugh if you want.
2. The Wizard of Oz- My first true obsession. Still entertaining.
1. Good Will Hunting- Definitley my favorite. Great story, great dialouge, superb acting. Love it.
