Ross Perot was the only candidate that was a viable 3rd party and he lost. It's sad but voting for a 3rd party is nearly throwing your vote away. Better to choose the lesser of two evils. I say that because if you witnessed the FISA vote today, you would have seen that 105 democrats voted for it. Pathetic. As for the Green party, try voting local candidates and congressmen in.

You must watch True Romance all the way through as it is highly underrated. History of Violence turns out to be quite a novel and enjoyable surprise. Then watch Y Tu Mama Tambien and don't waste your time on the others. You gotta be kidding me!? You must watch True Romance all the way through as it is highly underrated.

I remember liking "True Romance," but that was a long time ago. I'm not sure it has held up well, though Brad Pitt is indeed very good. It's not a watch and re-watch-er for me, anyway. I liked Kiss Kiss Bang Bang very much. Clever, rat-a-tat dialogue; pay attention. I suddenly remembered why I used to like Val Kilmer...and, of course, I always liked RDJr. Y Tu Mama is excellent. Also Capote. I saw Se7en, but it did not resonate with me as it did with others; not sure why, as I liked Fight Club and Zodiac a lot. You have many on your list that I have yet to watch, too.

A History of Violence is amazing. Out of all of them, I'd choose that one to watch...and not just cuz Viggo is in it. Y Tu Mama Tambien is great, but pretty intense from what I can remember.

Very quirky comedy with Val Kilmer and a freshly-sober Robert Downey Jr. You just reminded me I wanted to see Paradise Now. Will have to stop in Vulcan when I return from vacation...

This is something that is important to all Americans.Instead Wolf,Lou,even Larry King have been too busy chasing silly news.All the crooks are covering up for their fellow crooks.The Acts of this administration are beyond pardon,yet the media seems to turn the other cheek and focus on something as trivial as a knuckle bump.Do you guys really have degrees? If you all weren't so old I would say those so-called degrees were gotten on line.But there was no on-line during your Dark Ages.How Disgusting!
