My favorite movies: |

The Princess Bride |
| comments: "No more rhymes now; I mean it!" "Does anybody want a peanut?" |

White Christmas |
| comments: shut UP! The scene at the end when the General's troops are all back together and salutes him still brings tears to my eyes. This was my Grandfather's favorite movie. |
