autographedcat. He asterisked the ones he owns. I think I'll do that, too.
1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy(2001-03)* In the theater. And the extended version. More than once, I'm afraid.
3. Titanic (1997)* I only own it because someone gave me a bootleg "for your consideration" copy back before it won the Oscar. The FX are wonderful, the rest of it (and I actually like Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) was meh.
4. Blue Velvet (1986)
5. Toy Story (1995) I have a hot button about bullies, so this did not go over well for me.
6. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
7. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) I really don't like Woody Allen except for Sleeper.

9. Die Hard (1988)
10. Moulin Rouge (2001)
11. This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
