This list was inspired by a scene from the film "High Fidelity". In fact, would it be a stretch to say that most of the lists found in this lovely website are inspired by "High Fidelity"???
No, I don't think most of the lists on this site were inspired by High Fidelity. I was making lists years before High Fidelity even existed. I'm assuming the same is true for most other participants.
I'm of the same opinion, actually. I knew it was a real stretch to assume High Fidelity was the inspiration for this site, but I couldn't resist saying it anyway.
