I honestly thought this movie was called The Notorious BFG and now my family won't stop making fun of me.

my mother actually thinks the Titanic didn't sink, that it was another boat, and that a conspiracy has been keeping this a secret for over a hundred years.

What are your favorite "classic" adventure movies? Movies like this one, The Mummy, the first Pirates, Gunga Din (1939), Young Sherlock Holmes, Prisoner of Zenda and The Adventures of Robin Hood.

I've been meaning to watch this again for months now. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but remember it being great. you can really see the similarities between this and The First Avenger (my favorite MCU movie).

Sam's Town is ten years old this year, I fear for us all.

is Moby obscure enough? definitely Moby. and TS Eliot.

I have been waiting all week for someone to make this joke.

Harry Potter TV series

a movie set in a dystopian future where the world is menaced by the tyranny of Nickelback. the only man who can defeat them is a young man with a guitar and a dream, Brandon Flowers. he must find the strength to rally his band and face off in a battle of the bands against the ultimate evil.

somehow I always forget about these guys, and then I hear "Beverly Hills" again and remember how much I love them. I hope one day Rivers can at least make enough money to buy a new car.

It was honestly one of the best albums of the 2000s.

They did a wonderfully strange cover of Hotel California.

He is the one person I would say can never be replaced if Lord of the Rings is rebooted or made into a TV series. Most of the roles could be recast - Gandalf possibly excepted - but Lee-as-Saruman is iconic.
