Challenge Accepted!

At the behest of one Magicman, I give you my favorite movies from A-Z, with honorable mentions in parentheses. I tried to cap it at about five or six for some letters, as I could have gone on for days with some of them. It was a tough battle to see what letter won the overall competition. B, G, and S all brought some serious ammo to the table, but I would lean towards G. All five movies I listed are homeruns, with GWH, Gladiator, and the Godfather all cracking my top ten. Let me know what you think, or any good ones I forgot. (Anybody have anything better for Y? I struggled there.)

Well played Darren. Well played. Showdown of the movies I see. You have delivered the mortal blow. Touche touche. Swingers in full force this weekend? Let our powers combine as we remember what it is to be men without women.

Elton John called. He wants his "gay" back from you.
