did everyone forget to mention The Wizard of OZ?
cummon, whether we can admit it or not, that has got to be the #1 movie we all crammed infront of the tele to watch when we were just kids. Funny how growing up makes one forget of all the precious and innocent things. Just recently i was living in a house with a 2 year old. My treat was to watch Wizard of OZ pretty much on a daily basis. Seeing it again (like 40 times) as an adult really showed me just how frikin good this movie was.
so, edit your posts everyone and add the Wizard - i know you want to now that i reminded you :)

and if sick and twisted and dark is what appeals to you, then i highly recommned QUILLS. Rent is, watch it, you wont regret it. I won't tell you anything except:
Geoffrey Rush
Kate Winslet
Joaquin Phoenix
Michael Cain
Marquis de Sade (generally attributed to SadoMosochism)
