Do you have a specific memory you have with a specific movie (not necessarily your favorite)?
Watching Blazing Saddles with my college friends over and over and saying every line in the movie while drinking a beer ball with my friends. It is a huge ball of beer, which we purchased from Mobile Mart near Fordham, was so much fun.

Movie Memories:
One time, I went to my friend from college's home for dinner and to see my college roommates. So, we have dinner, then they decided to put on Titanic, and I was not into that movie at all. All my friends were married and had their wives there, and I was in Dental School and still single. It was the most miserable time I have ever had, I wound up making up some excuse to get the heck out of there. True story!!
Final Thoughts: I really enjoy movies about topics I like, but if it's something cheesey or mushy romantic, it's like torture watching.
