You must be the only person I know who hasn't seen any of the LOTR films! I thought they were ok but tbh I prefer films like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and Dazed and Confused.

that may be, but toy story is a deadly combination of tom hanks, a pixar kids movie and computer animation. it hits all the places i don't want to be. yuck, no thanks.

no kidding, but i bet it's based on box office receipts, which have absolutely nothing to do w/determining which movie is a classic or not.

as far as i can tell there is only ONE non-hollywood movie on it. which is pretty myopic.
