I have been tagged by iamtinkerbean! To list my top ten favorite movies of all time. You know this is one of those things where later you're like DAMMIT, how could I forget that one?! But I shall do it anyway :D

In no particular order...
My Top Ten Movies
1. Serenity
2. Boondock Saints
3. Moulin Rouge
4. Velvet Goldmine
5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
6. Titanic (this has to be up here simply because I've seen it so many times. It has a special place in my heart, okay? :P)
7. The Princess Bride
8. Lord of the Rings trilogy
9. It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (fanfuckingtastic film)
10. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The only two films on this list rooted in reality are Titanic and Mad(x4) World. I guess that says something about my tastes, eh? :) This was pretty hard. Revenge of the Sith almost made it up there, but I had to be honest with myself and say I don't like the movie so much as omganiandobi. Yeah. Kinda makes me want to watch Titanic again, hee ^_^

In other news, I watched 6 episodes (7 if you count Serenity as two) of Firefly tonight with my friend Jake! He's a film buff who didn't want to see Serenity, but I convinced him to and he LOVED it. Saw it twice and now owns it :D So of course he wanted to see Firefly! We're gonna finish the series later this week. Watching the whole show again is just so fantastic, especially hearing his reactions. It's great. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

Hey, while I'm at it (and while I'm procrastinating on sleep) why not do another meme - my top ten favorite TV shows!

3. X-Files
4. Lost

Hmmm. I think the positive comments I receive on my icons give me a false sense of pride. I mean, it's great that people love my icons, and I am so thankful to those people who take the time to look at them and tell me what they think, but at the same time I'm really not that great as icon makers go. I could be SO much better, but I just don't understand how. I'm getting very close to being eliminated in the fandom lims contests I'm in, and I never make it into good_fanicons when I apply. It's like... my style just doesn't jibe with the general perception of what good icons are. At the same time, I sometimes look at icons that are supposedly "amazing" and think they're crap. It's like I'm on a different wavelength from everyone else and I don't know how I ended up here.

Bah.
