Movies I've Been Watching A Lot Of Lately

Dear Constant Reader,

1. "The Breakfast Club"
This John Hughes classic never gets old.

2. "Cellular"
Kim Basinger can act.

3. "March Of The Penguins"
This documentary on the life of penguins is more interesting (and touching) than it sounds. Bring Kleenex!

4. "Pretty In Pink"
Another John Hughes film (this time as writer/producer) classic that never loses it's touch.

5. "The Muppet Movie"
Jim Henson and his gang were simply geniuses and Jim will be sadly missed by us older kids.

6. "Sixteen Candles"
John Hughes back in writer/director mode is a good thing.

7. "A Christmas Story"
A family Christmas story not exactly for the family. Sharp and very funny. Wanna know what my childhood was like? Watch this movie.

8. "This Film Is Not Yet Rated"
A documentary on the MPAA that's way too short but educational nonetheless. Wanna meet the kind of people that rate the movies you love? This film is for you.

9. "What Lies Beneath"
A creepy ghost story with a neat twist. Robert Zemeckis doesn't only direct pieces of shit like Forrest Gump.

10. "John Tucker Must Die"
Betty Thomas directs this sharp teen comedy that's almost something that John Hughes would do if he got back in the game.

11. "American Psycho"
Mary Harron (the director) turns an unreadable book into a funny and shocking delight of a film.

12. "Snakes On A Plane"
Painfully bad but addictive. Kind of like sex with a prostitute who's really good at sex but you know she's full of disease and badness.

13. "The Devil Wears Prada"
Meryl Streep chews the screen in this delicious comedy.

14. "The DaVinci Code"
Ron Howard makes a confusing book into an amazingly good movie.
