I think it’s kind of interesting comparing my list to Dan’s. I liked a much higher percentage of the movies I’ve seen than he did. I think this is because he’s much pickier than I am. Also, most of the movies on that list that I know I wouldn’t like I have managed to avoid seeing (Titanic being the obvious exception.) The only movie we’ve both seen that he liked and I didn’t was Forrest Gump. Also, there are a couple of movies on Dan’s list that I’m really wondering when he saw them. Either he somehow managed to see a couple of movies when I wasn’t around or he accidentally italicized them or something. I think most of the movies I’ve seen that he hasn’t are movies he’s just not interested in. Although he really should watch Pirates of the Carribean and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I’m not entirely sure what he has against those movies.
