    Movie meme!

    OK, so I stole this one from Jin, who stole it from this guy, who made up a bunch of rules she didn't repeat, so I'm not going to bother looking them up.

    The gist of it is, you pick the 26 letters of the alphabet and list a DVD you own that begins with that letter, skipping things like "A" and "The" and so forth. Plus, you link to that first guy's website, I think. (Maybe it's a girl, that's a generic "guy," since I didn't bother reading the original post.)

    I know y'all are a bunch of movie fans, so give it a whirl.

    Me, just for kicks, I'm going for an action/horror theme. And I'm going to stick with flicks I like, so consider these recommendations, too.

    A is for "Aliens," my favorite of all time.
    B is for "Below," the underrated submarine scare flick.
    C is for "Curious George," just because I like monkeys.
    D is for "Dawn of the Dead," the remake that's better than people think. (You thought I'd say "Dead Hunt," didn't you?)
    E is for "Event Horizon," with a ship's log to watch on slo-mo.
    F is for "Friday the 13th," greatest slasher of them all.
    G is for "Ginger Snaps," with luscious Kate Isabelle.
    H is for "Halloween 4," "Halloween 5" and Danielle Harris, pre-Zombie.
    I is for "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," a great comic treat for fans.
    J is for "Jaws," and not swimming for years.
    K is for "A Knight's Tale," which may be the late Heath Ledger's best.
    L is for "Land of the Dead," Romero's fourth in the trilogy.
    M is for "The Mummy," such brainless fun.
    N is for the cult Nights: "... of the Comet," "... of the Creeps" (OK, it's a boot) and "... of the Demons."
    O is for "Once," my wife's favorite low-budget music movie.
    P is for "Planet Terror," the silly fun half of "Grindhouse."
    Q is for, um, well, let's skip this one...
    R is for "Resident Evil," with the best audio commentary ever.
    S is for "Se7en," and what's in the box.
    T is for "The Thing," with its awesome old-school effects.
    U is for "Underworld," with vampires, werewolves and guns-guns-guns.
    V is for "Versus," perhaps called yakuza vs. zombies.
    W is for "What About Bob?" which came with the wife, and I've never seen.
    X is for another X; read: N/A, I'm afraid.
    Y is for "Youngblood," not action or horror, but hockey.
    Z is for "Zombi 2," or "Zombie" to some, and we're done.

    LOVE Event Horizon, Friday the 13th, Danielle Harris in a very non-lesbo type way (& her Halloweens!), your "N"!!! All of 'em! Oh those bring back memories...
    Se7en for sure! LOVED that ending. Perfection.
    OMG... you MUST watch What About Bob... I've seen it a zillion times not normally my type of thang but it's hilar squared!
