Movies
    Ace Ventura: Pet Detective   International Jugglers' Association  

    I watch a lot of movies. For whatever reason, over the last four years or so, I've been a huge movie fan, going to about one per week on average. In the summer of 1998 I purchased a DVD Player (Sony DVP-S500D) and since then have acquired more than 74 DVDs of my favorite movies, and am waiting on many more to come out.

    My friend Kristine is always complaining that I say every movie is in my Top 5 Comedy or Action list, when in fact that is not true. In order to prove this, I'm gonna write out my Top 5 lists below. Feel free to disagree, everyone else does. However, there can be no logical, well thought out argument that says The Rock is not the best action movie ever made. I simply will not tolerate it, and anyone I meet who has not seen this movie is required to sit down and watch it on my DVD player. Otherwise, I'm not sure we can be friends.

          Top 5 Comedy             Top 5 Action      
    1. Ace Ventura
    2. Austin Powers
    3. Happy Gilmore
    4. Nothing to Lose
    5. Dumb & Dumber
    1. The Rock
    2. Bad Boys
    3. Starship Troopers
    4. Terminator 2
    5. Top Gun
              Top 5 Drama          
    1. Shawshank Redemption
    2. The Usual Suspects
    3. Seven
    4. American History X
    5. Twelve Monkeys

    Well, that list may or may not be accurate, maybe that's just the mood I was in when I created the list, but those are all cool movies, and I may change the list occaisionally if I left something out or a new movie comes to replace one of the above. One thing is certain, The Rock reigns supreme, and Michael Bay as a director rules! taking the honors of my top two action movies!

    Can anyone name the actor who is in one of my Top 5 movies in each category? He plays co-starring role in two, and a minor role in the other.
