Damn, how could I forget La Strada?

― Anthony (Anthony F), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

You realize that this Top 10 mania has doomed ILF to obcurity?

Yeah, All About Eve, not Lady Eve. My bad.

amateurist, better to let them get it out of their systems. Besides, no one's taken up my suggestion yet, which is to start fighting about other people's lists.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Wednesday, 23 July 2003 20:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Your list sucks.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 20:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm happy to oblige. ;-)

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 20:52 (twenty-three years ago)

C'mon, that's all you got? I'm talking about an argument here, not recess insults.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Wednesday, 23 July 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, how come no one else has put Some Like It Hot on their lists? Come on, it's one of the best comedies evah!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 24 July 2003 09:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm still mulling over my own list, but Some Like It Hot would be on there, easy.

Hey, don't look at me.
