I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:

I’d never even heard of “Man of the Century”. Sounds top-hole. Here’s hoping eBay delivers… I don’t see “Withnail And I” on your list, which I am presuming is some sort of mistake

For the record, I frikkin’ hate graphical smileys…

Man of the Century isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I love Marx Brothers comedies and noir, so I thought it was hilarious.
Withnail and I is one of those movies that I’ve been meaning to see, but keep putting off. I added it to my Netflix queue, so I’ll eventually see it. Believe it or not, I’ve never seen Trainspotting, either.

Ben Hur
Expelled
Tortures of The Christ
Song Of Bernadette
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castel

Mr, Denyse, is this your Top 5 comedies? Because I think The Passion of the Christ is way funnier than Ben Hur.
Speaking of Harold & Kumar, have you seen the trailer for Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay?

pfft. The single top most quotable movie in the history of the universe is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Duh.

P.S. I fart in your general direction.

All the Monty Python movies would be in my Top 10 most quotable movies list, but according to the super secret rules that I just made up, Monty Python movies are automatically disqualified from Top 5 lists after BarryA quoted Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Nah, you just forgot about Holy Grail, admit it.

About 10 years ago, I deconverted from a Monty Python geek to a Mr. Show geek. About the only Monty Python quotes I ever use anymore are “Would you like a wafer thin mint?” and “Other than _____, _____ and _____ what have the ______ ever done for us?”
