Subject: RE: BS: Most Moronic Movie You Love**Fess-Up
I have fessed up to this many times before, but I'll do it again:

ISHTAR

Yes, Ishtar. Should be required viewing for anyone who has ever had to endure Songwriters Night at the local joint. I still maintain that if the lead roles had been played by, say, Chevy Chase and Martin Short, the critics wouldn't have been so unkind. Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty aren't exactly known for their comic genius, after all. But do see it once, and keep an open mind. It's so bad it's actually funny.

I wouldn't call Princess Bride moronic at all. I think it's a very nicely done fairy tale. Same with the Mummy. And Shrek. I just love Shrek.

And I have to say, The Scorpion King was fantastic. If you liked The Mummy, go see it. It's Conan and Indiana Jones and any good Western all rolled up in one. Sure, it's a little predictable, as most movies like that are. But it's very entertaining, and isn't that why we go to the movies in the first place? Also, it's PG-13, and quite clean enough for anyone over about 9-10.

I also have a collection of about 25 or so Disney animated movies. Lady and the Tramp is my favorite, followed by the Aristocats. The two dogs in that one, voiced by Pat Buttram and George Lindsay, are just plain hilarious.

And last but not least, I love Jackie Chan.
