Brown Sugar is on for the millionth time and of course I am watching it. How can I not? Its all about hip hop and its funny- good things to look for in a movie. So I have put together a little list of movies that I can watch over and over again. True- these may not be thought provoking movies- they are what they are. Mostly just entertaining and funny. Oh and they have great lines- lines that you can repeat and it just makes you laugh.

1. Brown Sugar- hip hop, Mos Def, happy ending and Blackalicious... whats not to like?

2. Some Kind of Wonderful- 80s movie- with classic lines, a painter, a
drummer girl and the classic struggle between outsiders & popular folks

3. Tank Girl- cool lines like "2 dollars and fifteen cents" besides crazy wacked out kangaroo men and Lori Petty and Naomi Watts before she was seeing the Ring

4. Pretty in Pink- John Cryer's scene where he lip-synchs Otis Reddings' "Try A Little Tenderness"

5. Empire Records- too much to say. I still spit lines from this movie like "Mark, you play a mean guitar man. Too bad you have to die." Just watch it

6. Orange County- Its all about Jack Black- "Want me to get naked and start a revolution? I'll take that as a maybe"

7. Love Actually- Sure its cute and all but its funny too. And the question that someone must tell me, Why are there sea animals in the Christmas play?

8. Can't Hardly Wait- Another teen movie but notice that it has mad people in it. "And who could forget the pudding pants incident."

9. Basquiat- I love this movie. I love watching the painting scenes- Basquiat is my favorite painter by far and his story is intriguing.

10. Armageddon- "Bye Bye Astronauta"- yeah Lo and I are going to call our production company this or then again maybe not- but it would be funny to us.
