Laurie Strode, girlfriend, I KNEW there was something that I liked about you!!!!

The year that Pulp Fiction lost the Oscar for best picture to Forrest Gump, I actually threw something at the television when it was announced!!! Gump was a great flick, don't get me wrong, but Pulp Fiction was the best film made that year, and one of my top favorites.

Sorry, MammaHooch, and you KNOW how I hate differing with you but that's the year 'Shawshank Redemption' should have won!!!
And I know what you mean about throwing stuff at the TV. I'm STILL angry 'Jaws' lost to 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.

All Time FAVE: The Shawshank Redemption

Horror: Bram Stoker's Dracula
Drama: Gladiator; Braveheart
Family: A Little Princess (1995)
Fantasy: Ever After: A Cinderella Story; The Brother's Grimm... actually, Stardust would overrule both these.
Romantic Comedy: 13 Going on 30
Animated: The Last Unicorn
Action: Live Free or Die Hard
Adventure: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Musical: Bride and Prejudice
Comedy:About a Boy
Classic: Suddenly
TV Show to DVD: Supernatural

Of course, there are so many good films... but my list could get really long, really fast if I listed them all.
