Awesome Movies

I couldn't fit all my favorite movies into the little space they give you, so here's a list. Not that anyone cares, but if you really like one of the categories in general, and haven't seen a movie I put in that category, I recommend that you see it.

  • Daddy Day Care - very funny and Steve Zahn is hilarious
  • Grosse Pointe Blank
  • The Princess Bride
  • Groundhog Day - you have to watch a few times to appreciate how funny Bill Murray is.
