It's A Gift - after watching this one I had to watch and eventually collect all of W.C. Fields films. Pure Genius. So much amusement. Horsefeathers - the first Marx Bros. movie I ever watched. You Can't Take It With You - Lionel Barrymore Grand Hotel - also Lionel Barrymore Casablanca The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes - Hitchcock well i could go on all day....they influenced me all of them with their beauty, charm and wit... to the Cinema To the Cinema

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE very inspiring No doubt about it. Ramone may I reccomend to you the following: The house of a thousand corpses The Devil's rejects. Enjoy!!

Karate Kid Ok, ok... was young, nerdy and tired of getting bullied. This one has the nerdy kid beating up the bullies AND getting the girl. I was too young to care about small details like.... say... acting.

PLATOON - Platoon is a 1986 Vietnam war film written and directed by Oliver Stone and starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Dillon, Keith David, John C. McGinley, and Johnny Depp. It is the first of Stone's Vietnam War trilogy, followed by Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and Heaven & Earth (1993). It was a cathartic experience watching it for me and a lot of other Vietnam Vets.

"My Life" with Nicole Kidman and Michael Keaton. About a man who is diagnosed with a fatal disease, wants to film his life and teach his soon to be born son about life on his video. Thought it was a sign to marry my second husband. Not.... but it certainly changed my life!!
