  About this blog
Our daily cheat-sheet for breaking celebrity news, Hollywood buzz and your pop-culture obsessions.  |
A negative times a negative equals a position. A negative plus a negative is a larger negative number.
That's what I was thinking. A negative plus a negative is a negative.
You should add The Lion King, Pinocchio, (or just any of the Disney movies in general), Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the Original Star Wars Trilogy, It's a Wonderful Life, and The King's Speech
Men of Honor
Said Richard with his poor spelling, grammar and punctuation. LOL.
Your Honorable Mentions are better than some of the ones on the list, just to let you know.
The Way Back should definitely be on the list. That movie will convince everyone that they can lose their cell phone in whatever city they live in and should never panic if they have to walk home.
How did the Dead Poets Society end up on this list???? October Sky is a much better fit. DPS involved low self esteem suicide... I think you need to re-do this.
Richard Fore:
Here's some motivation..... your a loser!!!!
----
Oh, sweet irony.
Good list–might want to add Hoosiers,
Richard Fore is the troll, no surprise.
Kung Fu Panda's 1and2.
Never Say Never should be on that list.
I can prove that you don't have to be a good looking GUY who works hard to make the list. As you may all know, I'm an ugly girl who got action from some dark skinned males in the alley way... LOVIN IT LIKE MCDONALDS. Usher was NOT my first.
Cya!!! Keep supporting me and my music!
I wish every1 would report abuse on these losers.
Will the real troll stand up-its either richard fore or observer. Which ever it is, you need to stop. This blog sucks cuz of you!
I'm glad it sucks, so do you. Go to the religion or food blog if you dont like it.
Really 10:17! That's all ya got!
Stand and Deliver...
