a crap load of movies. most of them are 'sickbed' movies so take the choices with a grain of salt.

Jaws -- the original. Have not seen it since it was in the theater (swaddled in a baby buggy, *ahem* okay maybe not). I still like it!

Conquest of The Planet Of The Apes -- uh, don't even ask me why. Still trying to figure out why I wanted to watch it, and since I fell asleep after the first ten minutes can't even tell you what (if anything) it was about.

The Others -- kinda spooky in the end, but a snoozer getting there. Not Kidman's finest, but I still like her.

The Lovely Bones -- the main character, a teenage girl, seemed a lot like Chloe Sevigny. Her name in real life is Saoirse Ronan, which is an anagram for "oars rise anon" which is what I dubbed her. Her character's name was Susie Salmon. Girl gets a camera for her birthday and takes a lot of pictures, girl meets creepy neighbor, girl has bad things happen to her, and director gets a lot of special effects money and sort of ruins what was probably a better book.

My Life -- Michael Keaton stars in a 9.0 magnitude tear jerker. Do not busy yourself with filling out your last will and testament, your advance directives, or making arrangements for "pre-need mortuary services" while watching this movie. Another with Nicole Kidman, I must like her if I keep seeing her movies.

The Sting -- Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Eileen Brennan, Robert Shaw and a ragtime score (evoking nightmarish recollections of 7th grade band practice, with Mr. C telling the clarinetists to sloooowww dooowwwwwnnnnn and the flutes to speed up!). A great movie.

Georgia Rule -- for probably the fifth time. It's too bad that Lindsey Lohan got such bad press during the making of this film, because it's a pretty good movie. It's got a tough premise to start with, but with Garry Marshall directing it isn't heavy handed. I loved Jane Fonda in this. Her role was sort of a buffer between Felicity Huffman and Lilo (mother and daughter, respectively -- Jane is grandma/Georgia). It's kind of gross seeing Cary Elwes play a step-dad/molester, but somebody had to do it. Dermot Mulroney co-stars as a veterinarian who has mostly human patients, I just love him cuz I LIKE his name. Though I usually confuse him with Dylan McDermott. Probably because it's almost an anagram.

Bridges Of Madison County -- heh. Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. 'nuff said.

The Enforcer -- for the billionth time. I just like watching Tyne Daly. Nah. Clint!

The Outlaw Josey Wales -- once upon a time was the movie I'd use to put myself to sleep. Haven't watched in a long time, had to dust it off and see if Clint was still the roughest toughest cowboy on earth. Yup, he is! I might have a crush on him

The Switch -- not to be confused with "Switch" (which was a funny movie with Ellen Barkin). This vehicle was supposed to star Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, but they and all the other grownups got upstaged by a 7-year old. I don't want to spoil this one for any of you, I am sure you are clamoring to see this. Hint: there is a sperm scene.

The Silence Of The Lambs (again) -- to redeem myself after being force fed Hannibal a while back. Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster, superb.

Deliverance -- admittedly, in a vicodin haze for that one. I could not get through it otherwise. Beautiful scenery, horrible dialogue and just plain bad acting. Yet, it is now in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." I assume it's for the outdoor setting and not the, um, "scenes". Like Burt Reynolds said in his final scene: "ah don't remember nuthin" (don't want to, anyway).
