I relate to this, though it was more like 1995— so when The Craft came out, we thought it was ripping US off. Sigh.

I'm not saying I'm with you 100% here, but you just reminded me that what the above list is missing is "Kiss Me Son of God."

Ooh, this list is killer! You got a lot of my weirder favorites like "Destination Moon"— it's one of the best songs and practically no one even remembers it— and "Judy Is Your Vietnam" and "Spider." I love all of these except probably "Kendra McCormick," which I've never entirely understood the appeal of, but…

Yeah. If it were just a bad movie, it'd be fine, but when everyone except you loves it, you feel like Cassandra, and then you just start hating it more, and then you become an Angry Pigeon banging away on your keyboard about 20-year-old movies.

"Kids" did a number on me. I wasn't 17 yet when that came out so I couldn't see it in theaters, but my friend somehow acquired a VHS copy and we had a traumatizing couple hours at her house watching it.

<3 <3 Singles. <3 <3

The Cutting Edge was so ubiquitous in dorm rooms of the 90s that I'm kind of wondering if you managed to date at all. Not that it's not a good rule!

Oh, no, wait, I DID see the Hamlet he was in, but Hamlet is basically a Proto-Troy anyway.

Everyone says those movies are awesome, but the sad truth is that Reality Bites made me incapable of seeing an Ethan Hawke movie ever again. Especially a movie where I'm told he and a woman just talk each other for 2 hours. Based on his Reality Bites character, that sounds like my own personal level of hell.

THANK you.

The British release started with Drive My Car, which is part of what makes the British Rubber Soul a weirdly different album experience than the American one. The US release opening with I've Just Seen a Face announced itself as a Folk Album; the British release, which opens with Drive My Car - Norwegian Wood - You…

Weak closer, yes. Weak song is more debatable. I admit it's hard to like, though.

Okay, "This Boy" was not at all a "departure from their early energy" (early Beatles played tons of Smokey Robinson-influenced music like this, and if you're not hearing energy in the Lennon vocal then, what??), "Good Day Sunshine" is, yes, relentlessly cheerful but it's got enough metrical and tonal tricks to not…

I saw Club Paradise because I was a huge Robin Williams fan at age 10 (thanks to Nickelodeon's Mork reruns), and I was NOT quite prepared for what I remember as a lot of sex jokes. Lots of nervous giggling from me and the friend who I made sit through it. The only thing I actually remember from this movie is some…

Mine is Without a Clue, a strange Sherlock Holmes spoof comedy starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley that came out in the 80s sometime. I think I rented it from the Errol's like 30 times— I was probably the only one who ever did. My best friend and I would quote it to each other and crack ourselves up. But I swear…

Oh my God, THANK YOU. Effing Maxwell. It looks like they were enforcing a strict "no covers" rule, but I would have broken it just to include "Money (That's What I Want)" instead.

It was, though. It's "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill." I just didn't feel like writing out the blasted thing.

This is basically awesome, but choosing "Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" over "Come Together"… I…. what? Was there concern about there being too much Abbey Road Love?

Titular for life!

I'm a bi woman, and I'd date only women for the rest of my life if I knew it could personally piss Kirk Cameron off.
