Day 8: A Movie That Reminds You Of Someone
TOOTSIE (1982) Lisa and I always had many movies we could relate to. Growing up watching the same movies as kids, we had a lot in common. We both enjoyed Tootsie as well, but she loved it. I liked it… Continue reading

Day 7: A Movie That You Quote A Lot
TOMMY BOY (1995) I’m guessing that this day’s selection will finally match with James Falcon (but who knows, I could be wrong). This movie is so outlandishly retarded but incredibly fun to watch. Chris Farley and David Spade are at… Continue reading

Day 6: A Movie That Reminds You Of A Certain Event
THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN (2005) This movie is raunchy, gross, and inappropriate on so many different levels… but also extremely funny. Lisa began to reference this movie when we first started dating, since there were similarities between Andy Stitzer… Continue reading

Day 4: A Movie That Makes You Sad

Day 3: A Movie That Makes You Happy
FLETCH (1985) The comedic brilliance of Chevy Chase shined profusely in ‘Fletch.’ Brilliant one-liners delivered by one of the most cherished comedy geniuses of our generation. This is just a great detective movie with witty dialog and a fantastic narration.… Continue reading

Day 2: Least Favorite Movie
HOWARD THE DUCK (1986) Another cinematic turd squeezed out by George Lucas, who wouldn’t produce another one this big again until 1999 with Episode I. This movie was so *fowl* that it almost ruined Lea Thompson’s mostly lackluster career. It’s… Continue reading

Day 1: Favorite Movie
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) To say that this is one of the greatest movies ever made is very much an understatement. Anyone who thinks that Temple of Doom is better, should check their pulse, ’cause I think they… Continue reading

Is It Silverado?
If there’s one thing that my wife is good at, it’s figuring out how to get under my skin (in a fun and teasing way). A few years ago, soon after we were married, she started to ask me one… Continue reading
