Pride & Prejudice = possibly my favorite thing ever. Colin Firth. Wet white shirt. Does it get any better? Besides, the BBC version practically lifts all its dialog from the original text...a tricky stunt with Jane Austen, but they do it beautifully.
Trainspotting = brilliant. Really leaves reality in shreds (i.e. diving for the suppository in the worst toilet in Scotland).

Pride and Prejudice is Amazing, although today I was walking through my dorm and overheard some girl say she couldn't follow it last night, luckily I was tired so I didn't stop to argue but I probably would have on a different day.
Legally Blonde I can't believe you put that movie as number one in a FEMINIST FILM class... haha

Trainspotting- I believe that's the hit movie that everyone told me to watch in New Zealand. It's basically all about drugs, corect? If I'm thinking of the right movie I thought it was absolutely horrible, and couldn't even finish it. The toilet scene was the worst.

Haha, can I comment on my own post? Oh well..
Maren - you should watch the special features in one of the Bridget Jones' movies.. it's all about Renee Zwellger's character interviewing and drooling over the real Colin Firth and she can't give up the wet white shirt! It was hilarious.
Marial - I put Legally Blond as #1 for a reason.. seeing if anyone would catch it :) I do enjoy it a lot though...
Cassie - that is the right movie. It's disgusting but brilliant at the same time.
