Shake those pennies. And then watch the movie. And then...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095250/board/nest/5343524

Go to this site and read Zoooperman's comment. Don't do it 'till you've watched the movie because there are spoilers.

I think the fans want to crucify Zoooperman, but I read his comment and laughed so hard that I think I have a Honeycomb lodged in my sinuses.

Okay... my top Five:

1. Pulp Fiction. I love this movie. Also, I'm a huge Tarantino fan. However, I only have five spots. Therefore, this is Pulp Fiction AND anything else Tarantino. See Kill Bill or Reservoir Dogs.

2. Beauty and the Beast. It's one of the first movies I can remember seeing at the theater and I've been in love with it ever since. I was one of those girls with the B&B set. Also, it's just such a lovely story and it looks so ... perfect with the animation.

3. The Usual Suspect. My friends and I saw it for the first time years ago and we still random throw in "Who is Keyser Sose?" during a boring conversation.

4. Fight Club. To begin with, Brad Pitt. Not just any Brad Pitt, but, in my own opinion, the best-lookin' Brad yet. Also, the story is amazing. The book was incredible and has created a Chuck Palanuik addiction. Also, every time I watch that movie, I notice something new. It's one of those films you can watch over and over again.

Only one more....

5. Dangerous Liaisons. It was either this, the Princess Bride, or The Age of Innocence. This one won because of John Malcovich and Glenn Close. Which reminds me, I forgot Being John Malcovich......
