Neat . . .

IMDB??? Internet Movie DataBase? (guessing wildly)

I used to love making lists like this. I should make one. And I should vote, cause no way in hell does the Shawshank Redemption belong in the top 100, much less the top 2.

And you *must* see some of those you've missed!!! Of the great ones at the top of *this* list (bah!), I'd recommend Casablanca and Dr. Strangelove as the most accessible. Or for something in color, Pulp Fiction and the Usual Suspects from the second ten. Ahhhh! There are so many!!!

Thanks for posting; this was fun to look at!

Re: Neat . . .

[dragon-moon.livejournal.com]

Great guessing! www.imdb.com is the place to go when you just *have* to know who that actor was...lol.

Yeah, you should make a list! And I agree, some of the choices were odd. I enjoyed Shawshank, but not enough to have it that high either.

Yeah, there are LOTS that I want to see on the list. I attempted to watch Pulp Fiction a while back, but missed the beginning and couldn't get into it. Do want to see the Usual Suspects!

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. Lists can be great fun like that :D

[dawnhunter.livejournal.com]

wow and I've actually seen s few of them. lol.
I found your journal randomly and you seem interesting. I added you, hope you don't mind! Let me know, and nice to meet you!

[dragon-moon.livejournal.com]

hehe, I know the feeling! I was pleasantly surprised that I'd seen as many as I had too. :D

Thank you...I'll add you back here shortly! Don't mind a bit, as it's always nice to meet new friends. Especially ones who appear to be as animal crazy as me. ^__~ (gorgeous dog in your other icon, by the by!)

Re:

[dawnhunter.livejournal.com]

Thanks, that's Boris, my hellion brat spawn. I love him, but he drives me crazy. Don't ever get a Border collie! lol

[dragon-moon.livejournal.com]

Great name! And ooops! Too late. ^___^ My second dog is the son of my grandpa's border collie, who is the great-greatgrandson (or something like that) of Dee, my Dad's dog who I grew up with. Whoo! :D He's a sweetie, but his new name is Velcro Puppy. A bit clingy! But sweet. lol.

Re:

[dawnhunter.livejournal.com]

Awww he's a pup! post piccies! I have to dig out Bors's puppy photos

[dragon-moon.livejournal.com]

He's actually 2.5 years...but I can't help calling him a pup still. Partly cuz he's a bit timid and sweet. But he's finally over the Destructo Puppy stage. ;D I think I can start letting him play with toys again and not have them shredded in two seconds! Yay!

Re:

[dawnhunter.livejournal.com]

LOL actually Boris is almost 4 and he still destroys his toys. But yours probably wasn't tormented as a pup. So he's prob got a better chance at being "normal" well for a BC anyway!!! ;)

Do you have horses as well?

[dragon-moon.livejournal.com]

hehe, I hope so! :o)

I *wish*, but for now that's all it is. I do get to ride my sister's wonderful little buckskin on occasion, and my grandfather usually has a horse or two that I could ride. I've gotten out of the habit of riding, though...started hiking for health reasons instead of riding. Darn time constraints, haven't been able to happily do both, but I'm working on it. Starting tomorrow night. Whooo!
