Little Miss Sunshine is great. Have you seen Our Idiot Brother? I believe it's by the same people who did Little Miss Sunshine. Also along the lines of indie-ish, cutesy movies, I recommend Short Term 12. It's on Netflix. It's not amazing or anywhere near one of my favorites but it's worth a watch.

No, I haven't seen that one. There are a few on netflix I want to check out that I have never heard of. I will definitely have to check it out. I always try to pick movies with 4 stars on netflix or I think they will be bad.

I have more than 10 also but I figured that was a good number - Pretty in pink is a favorite also.

I love "Best In Show." "Drop Dead Gorgeous" is an obscure one that if you like "Best In Show" you'll probably like too - it's a mocumentary like Best In Show, but instead about a small town teenage beauty pageant (great actors in it).

Little Miss Sunshine is great - I agree.

I like the movie "Election" a lot - it's a dark comedy w/ Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick that I think is just genious (even though it's got a lot of adult content for a movie set in a high school, so warning that it is not for kids).

Other favorites of mine are "Moneyball" (and I don't even like Baseball), and "Catch Me if You Can".

As far as old school movies go, I like "Wall Street" and "Trading Places".

"Quiz Show" is another great movie that I forgot before.

You couldn't tell me that my version of "Impossible" wasn't the best thing ever.

Rip Nippy.

Election sounds vaguely familiar - is it about a boy and girl running against each other in some kind of hs election? I feel like I have seen it a long time ago. The beauty pageant one sounds good - I love movies like that. I just remembered an old one - a dark comedy -Heathers- I used to love. I really like quirky movies lol. I just re-watched slingblade and it got me thinking about different kinds of movies like that.

Big Fish is one of my favorites. It's so weird but I love the story.

Yeah that's Election. Reese Witherspoon is a nerdy overachiever who runs against Chris Klien. It's really good - funny, but makes you think. I knew people exactly like all those characters in my high school - to me it rings a lot more real life than Breakfast Club ever did (but that's a good movie too).

Yeah - Heathers is really good. It was like a very dark/more violent version of "Mean Girls" set in the 80's .

Speaking of Winona Ryder, "Girl Interrupted" is good too.

Ok - I have seen election I remember parts of it. Yes Heathers is like a dark mean girls - it was such a dark comedy, I must have watched it a dozen times back in the day!
