TedBrunt : Only if Gwyneth gets naked. I can't remember - does she in this one?∞ Oh yes. Yeeeeesssssss.
JoanneSouaid: Of course, as we know, in Shakespearean times men played both the male *and* female roles in the theatre. However, I can't quite recall any of Shakespeare's plays involving a prom.
:-b
TedBrunt: The day I show my son Shakespeare in Love is the day I buy him his prom dress.

TedBrunt : Well, we need to start this off properly. In that light, if my son doesn't see Airplane!∞, he will be struck from my will. No 1960 Kennedy stamp for him.
"Elaine: "Would you like something to read?"
Passenger: "Do you have anything light?"
Elaine: "[[How about this leaflet∞; Famous Jewish Sports Legends?"
I think that Blazing Saddles∞ will be on the list as well. I already have Monty Python and the Holy Grail∞ on DVD, and I think it should have taken the number one spot. Connor may have seen it by the time you read this! Or maybe Stripes∞....still remember the Aunt Jemima treatment.
I was thinking that there are like a hundred movies that you just know if you do or will have kids, that they should see. Feel free to add to them. But man, I hope I don't turn out like one of those people who are like "Movies today are crap. They don't make films like Road to Zanzibar∞. That Bob Hope could act."
