Sorry, this has nothing to do with hiking, but I'm in a jam. I'd like to rent a movie, but I cant figure out what to get. Whats your favorite movie that I can rent?

to sum up...

adventurist has an unhealthy obsession with brad pitt

and laqtis has an unhealthy obsession with a dead man

Yeah, what's up with Adventurist and Brad Pitt??? lol

Shawshank Redemption

Chick flicks (for those nights at home with the "little woman" or SO):
"Hope Floats" with Sandra Bullock
"Bounce" with Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Afleck
"Princess Bride" with Julia Roberts, Richard Gere
"Wedding Singer" with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler
"What Women Want" with Helen Hunt and Mel Gibson

Monty Python movies

ANY of the "Mad Max" movies:
"Mad Max" -- "B" movie, but gives you the basis for the lonesome hero of the next two movies
"Road Warrior"
"Beyond Thunderdome"

I love westerns, too! I just rented "American Outlaws," the retelling of the James and Younger gang from their early days in Liberty, MO. Got all kinds of bad reviews, but was funny.... and gosh, that Colin Ferrell is cute!! LOL!
