Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed Moulin Rouge ;)
But hey awesome job dude!
You were right - we have some in common & I can't believe I missed some of these on mine! The "Seeing New Worlds" choice (I intended to have that on my list, I have a feeling I didn't put it on.. *will be rushing back to check & possibly edit in a second lol*). "Jim Henson's.." (I love Labyrinth). "Realizing that strangers aren't as strange as they seem" - a great choice also =D
"Prepare the standard rich and famous contract"
Can't believe Orson Welles was in the Muppet Movie - LOL
The Pythons rock - in the 3 Python movies as well as
in Time Bandits and A Fish Called Wanda.
Great scene from It's A Mad, Mad World -
Nothing beats laughing until you cry - Terrific list :)
Also in a sense there was a lot of stuff here that was of no surprise to me at all, which I think is cool, cuz it just goes to show how well I've gotten to know your tastes on this site. Hmmm, don't see how I could top this one. Great job!
Fantastic list!
