Films

• Heat / Usual Suspects / Pulp Fiction
• American Beauty (if you don't like this film, then it was made for you)
• Clear & Present Danger
• Star Wars series
• Lord of the Rings / Fifth Element / Monsters Inc. - like these mostly for their great effects and animation
• The Matrix / Aliens / Blade Runner
• The Rock - cheap and cheesy action flick, but love the Nicholas Cage one-liners
