"Race winner Chris Allan did see authorities put up a shark signal as he was swimming, but he seemed to take it in stride."

In 2005 more people died from suicide than from homicide.

"best 80s movies"

I have some problems with this...
Ghostbusters is ONLY #40, this shit was my childhood.
Do The Right Thing is ONLY 33.
sex, lies and videotape is ONLY 32. how?! I love James Spader in his younger days.
Die Hard is before ALL of those movies (i've never seen it, so i guess in a way i shouldn't judge it)
My Left Foot is 16- what the hell. I love Daniel Day Lewis and all, but seriously.
THE Terminator is 13 and THE SHINING is 14- how could this be possible? what assholes made this list. That is an outrage.

But, I am happy that....
Ordinary People made 30, just saw it recently for the first time, fell in love with Timothy Hutton. If you haven't seen it, you definately should get around to doing so.
When Harry Met Sally made 12, my romantic comedy must. I dont know what I love more, this or Bridget.
The Empire Strikes Back made 4

Is Blade Runner really that good that it made 2? I like sci-fi so I guess I should see it soon.

With all this said, I still have not seen Full Metal Jacket or Blue Velvet. I know, they're basically classics.

I don't want to bother you all with the "best movies of the 90's" tonight, so I'll post my feelings on that tomorrow.
