Mother is God

I use to be a big fan of scary movies. The scarier the better was how I rolled. I don't know what has changed over the years but I cannot watch a scary movie by myself anymore. The other night we crawled into bed to watch the movie Silent Hill. Its a movie based on a video game. We were like 30 minutes into the movie and right when it was finally getting scary I noticed Adam rolling over on his side. I begged and pleaded for him to stay awake. He passed out like 5 minutes later. Damn him.

There I was lying awake in bed while my boys slept. The windows were open and people were being chased, burned, and dying on my television set. The off button on the remote teased me. My fingers couldn't bare to reach out and touch the remote. I didn't want to move out from under the blanket. Finally, it got to the point where I was so scared I was crying my eyes out. I kept telling myself that it was just a movie. It was far fetched and nothing could ever happen like that in real life. Still I was scared. I managed to calm myself down some but just then out of nowhere...

...my phone rang.
Man, did it ever scare me.

But I'm glad it did ring because in the movie the phones were broken and didn't get service. So I knew I was safe lying in between my boys under my warm blanket.

Stink Palm Inspired Movie List

At work I sit in a room all by myself. It is really boring but all the cool people stop in to visit throughout the night. Last night one of those cool cats, Ian, came in with a bag of chocolate covered pretzels. This instantly reminded me of a scene from the movie Mallrats. From this moment on I realized Ian wasn't as cool as originally thought. He haasn't seen Mallrats and couldn't join me in my fit of giggles about the Stink Palm. To make matters worse not only has he never seen it but he hasn't even heard of the movie. Can this even be possible? Well, obviously it is. Thanks, Ian. It shouldn't be, though! I think it should be against the law not have seen "classic" movies like Mallrats.

So this, of course, got me thinking about other movies that should be against the law if you haven't seen them. After this thought I sat down and tried to come up with a list of movies. My list kept growing and growing. It was about grow legs and run away! I had a lot of movies. I decided that I needed to narrow it down to about 10 movies. After some suggestions from more cool people that dropped by I came up with a very rough list of 10.

Top 10 Movies I'd Be Shocked If You Haven't Seen
-Star Wars
-Lord Of The Rings
-Forrest Gump
-Titanic
-The Breakfast Club
-Top Gun
-Pretty Woman
-Groundhog Day
-The Shining
-The Shawshank Redemption

So there is my list. I'm 100% happy about it but it will have to work because I am about to go take a nap.

What are some movies that would make your top 10? I'm not talking about what your favorite movies are(My favorite movie is Matilda!) but movies you would be shocked if someone you knew said they have never seen.
