Kat at Sunshine & Lemonade and Shannon at Welcome to the Nut House are both doing this meme today. And since I love meme's AND movies, I'm joining right in!Here's how to play:
Copy and paste this list.
If you’ve seen the movie, put the title in bold type.
Put an asterisk next to the movies you’ve seen and liked.
If you’ve seen the movie, put the title in bold type.
Put an asterisk next to the movies you’ve seen and liked.
Pretty simple, huh?

The Princess Bride - The BIGGEST TRAVESTY that this was left off the list!

Look...it's a trend! I think I am the only one on the planet that is not a fan of "Forest Gump." But whenever my kids are running...I do have this strange compulsion to yell "run, Forest, run!!" And now they have started doing it. :-)
I am going to have to copy this meme as soon as I get a chance! Thanks for yet another fun idea!
Ooohhh FUN!!! I'm off to do this one now!
Kat: I think FG falls into the category of either you love it or you don't. I love Tom Hanks, so that drives a bit of it for me. :-)
Marianne: Enjoy! I told ya, I find some great stuff that others do and I just imitate. :-)
Angela: I know you've got to have seen more of those movies than I. I can't believe they left off Top Gun too!
You've never seen Edward Scissorhands?? And I thought you were a Johnny Depp fan! :)
What a meme! I saw it on Kat's site as well. Very cool.
I have walked out of 2 movies in my life - one was Ready to Wear (Julia Roberts... BAD) and the other was Braveheart.
So while I am sitting here (now watching Jaws 2, for crying out loud) I'm going to keep leaving you comments. At least until my carpal tunnel kicks in again. Would you believe I've never seen the 2nd one all the way through?
