OK, the ones I know that haven't already been named:
#6 - Ghostbusters
#10 My Girl
#24 - Miracle on 34th Street (?) That's actually just a guess - I've never seen the movie, but I know that line is in it somewhere!
You have several songs listed that I really love, and several I've never heard of. I'm thinking, based on the former, that I ought to check those out! ;)
A few of my favorites:
"Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins
"Everything to Everyone" by Everclear
"Zombie" by the Cranberries
"She" by Greenday
"Monkey Wrench" by The Foo Fighters
"Only Happy When it Rains" by Garbage
"She Talks to Angels" by The Black Crowes
"Glycerine" by Bush
"Jane Says" by Jane's Addiction
"Backwater" by the Meat Puppets
"Cemetery Gates" by Pantera
"Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum
"Fell on Black Days" by Soundgarden
"Plowed" by Sponge
"Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane
I don't know if anyone else suggested any of these, and I might've even missed it if you had a couple listed, I ran through it so fast!
What I'm saying is, for something that CAN'T be proven, everyone needs to be allowed tolerance and respect to believe what comes naturally to him/her. It's exactly the POINT that no one can "prove" any one thing right that is the reason everything needs to be tolerated until it can be, if ever it can. Obviously we all can't be right, but determining the one who is, is pretty impossible, so to each their own, and with respect.
Generally, Christians tend to judge people with "alternate" lifestyles and preach that only those who "accept Christ" are going to earn heaven. I find that these beliefs do not tolerate or respect that which may come to manifest naturally in another person's mind and heart. I have at least as many Jewish friends as so-called Christian ones, and they more "live" their faith and give respect to those of outside faiths (or none at all) to go ahead and believe as they will without condemnation less so than what I find in the people I know who call themselves "Christian".
(I think that was a bit windy but I hope it made sense!)
You have a lot of good actresses listed, however, I don't get the fuss over Clea Duvall. Frankly, she always looks to me like she needs to wash her hair and brush her teeth. %-p
The number one thing would have to be tolerance. And there is entirely too much hypocrisy involved; that would have to go too. People not "preaching", but living their beliefs.
Great list idea, and very interesting topics for discussion. I agree with pretty much everything you've pointed out here. I myself am agnostic, but love a good discussion on religion as long as it doesn't aim to sway me toward the beliefs of whomever I discuss it with. You seem like you'd be a good person to have a decent, intelligent conversation with on the topic.
Curious as to what you didn't like about Shrek and Shrek 2... also, did you read the Hitchhiker series? I read all the books but haven't seen the movie and was wondering if that was your disappointment with that one - that maybe it didn't encompass the books well enough.

Thanks, you're right.

I, too, was highly disappointed in Shyamalan's The Village - it was cracked up to be so good in the commercials/trailers, but it let me down, man. :(
I know, Requiem covered such a wide gamut of emotions...it was so real. I'd never even heard of it until a friend recommended it to me.
Loved Memento - and Requiem... could not get the fuss over Tenenbaums at all. :)
My favorite: "If you ever accidentally drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because man, they're gone."
"Rock & Roll" is one of my favorite Led Zep songs. You've got a good list though.
