No, I haven't seen (insert movie name here).

Confession: I've never seen the Star Wars movies ... any of them. No, that's not entirely true; I have seen one of the ones with Jar-Jar Binks, which I'm told doesn't count. If you don't know me, you probably think I live under a rock. (Debatable.)

So, my friend Matt has helped me start a database of movies I should see. There's a triple purpose: One, it's a short list of things to stick on my Netflix queue; two, it gives me a chance to get down and dirty with SQL (I've missed having a database with which to tinker); and three, it's an opportunity to learn PHP.

Do me a favor and add a couple of movies to the list if you get a sec. I'll make a note if I've seen it, but there's a 90 percent chance I haven't. And yes, feel free to come back here after you've seen the list and marvel at how badly I'd fail at Scene It.

Here's a link: http://www.katesink.com/movies. The form is at the top of the page.

Dusk Till Dawn is pretty terrible.

But Princess Bride really is that good. Dread Pirate Roberts is Inconceivable!

And Matt, how can you recommend Alien and Aliens but not Alien 3. I could understand your desire to pass on Alien Ressurection and the Alien Vs. Predator movies, but Alien 3 is pretty good.

I added... I don't know, a bunch. Couldn't stop once I started. They're not all "important" films, but they're films you'll probably enjoy on some level, which beats seeing something that sucks because you've been told you should!

I put a few on the list, but you really must see The Princess Bride as soon as possible. It has everything you could ever want in a movie: Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles!

Bean! For real?! Holy moly. Did Logik tell you I was looking for you? I told him yesterday to tell you hi for me. Drop me an e-mail.

Also ... wow. :D

Was I at Hamner's house when you watched Schindler's list? I don't remember that at all?

Yep. It was at her old house on Sea Isle. Wow -- and I'm never the one with the good memory. :D
