Too much Diaz, not enough Winslet.

Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I remember getting in trouble in my highschool library for laughing so uncontrollably while reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The earlier books in the series are better than the later ones — but if you’re intelligent, enjoy science fiction, and are looking for something light and funny, this is the series for you.

Princess Bride

An infinitely rewatchable timeless classic. Mandy Patinkin steals the show as Inigo Montoya. You killed his father. Prepare to die.

Part of me always wondered if the title was supposed to be “The Princeless Bride”.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

The film that had the most influence on my grades in high school. Save Ferris!

Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters came out when I was a pre-teen, and is definitely one of my all-time faves. Wouldn’t it be awesome to see this re-done with computer-generated special effects? It could make millions all over again.
