  3. agree with everything, except i've never seen avatar or inception. i might've fallen asleep during inception on dvd, although i can't remember for sure (baby haze). 2001 has to be number one, although i can't say for sure on that either because i've never made it through without falling asleep. there are too many runners up to name, but off the top of my head, i'll add (i'm sure i'll get slayed here) almost famous and matrix. it's not that i don't like these movies okay. i just had the experience of "what's all the fuss" in the end. obviously there are dozens that i'm too dense to get, like a clockwork orange, and (my own husband will kill me) what about caddyshack as funniest comedy of all time? really? i didn't see it in the 80s obviously, but that movie doesn't hold up, except for the gopher.
