Lists

At my previous job, we had started this office "thing". It was one of those office discussions that demanded company ink and paper be wasted while we wasted company time as well. We really got into lists.
I, (apparently) am somebody who loves categories and labeling things. I wasn't aware of this until more than one person told me unsolicited. So I guess it must be true.

At any rate, I do really LOVE the lists. They require the scrutiny and a level of nerdy micro-deconstruction that only a gamer or sc-fi nerd could muster for most topics.

I'll start with the most "popular" list we did at the office (because it had the most participants). Even some of the girls kicked in their list on this one; movies.

List; In NO particular order, your favorite 18 movies. (fortunately for me, films made in one sitting were given to me as 1 movie). The primary requirement is watchability. This is not a list of movies that you feel are necessarily the most artistic examples of cinema ever, or the "all time greatest" or anything like that. These are the 18 movies that you never tire of seeing. These 18 somehow seem fresh to you in one way or another on every viewing...which you still give them.

With those rules in mind, here are my 18;

RUSHMORE

THE BIG LEBOWSKI

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

ARMY OF DARKNESS

LORD OF THE RINGS

NETWORK

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

CONAN THE BARBARIAN

KILL BILL

GOODFELLAS

FIGHT CLUB

MILLERS CROSSING

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

HEATHERS

GROSS POINT BLANK

THE PRINCESS BRIDE

OFFICE SPACE

TRUE ROMANCE

So, there are my 18. I'd love to see the lists from my 3 or 4 regulars...

Next time, songs? TV shows? or favorite 18 African Countries? It's anyone's guess.
